Be honest, if you drive at 70mph on any clear, free running motorway, do you overtake anything except lorries?

It's long past time we re-assessed speed limits. Lowering them is not always the way forward, we all know the story of how the 70mph limit came into being. Cars are waaaaaaaay more advanced than back then. The only fly in the pudding is that drivers are not evolving...

I'd be glad to see an increse on motorways.

lovely idea


therefore will never happen

Re: speed limit to go up.....theres a first!
 

Since when is there a speed limit on motorways? :smt104

Re: speed limit to go up.....theres a first!
 

Drive faster, use more fuel, spend more at the pump, generate more revenue for the government, i`d say it will happen if you go by that!!

Re: speed limit to go up.....theres a first!
 

Personally I would raise it to 100. and take off the governors from trucks. The governed speed is the root cause of the bunching that eats into 2 lanes of the motorway

ahhh my friend here's a few other things you should know
blue flashy lights mean ,move out of the way or stop the person behind wants a word

a big white flash behind you means, you must pay the goverment more money than you already do

a white sign with a black line diagonally across it doesnt mean, warp factor 3 mr sulu

hth

we have a bunch of old fuddy duddys running this country.

they would have to spend money on new signs

they would gain less revenue from speeding tickets

and as bluepete pointed out the standard of the average motorist driving ability in the country is shocking.

what would be better is a 'special licence holder' test which allowed you to travel at 90 on motorways but would only be valid for 3 years then a resit.

well why should I apply for one of those when its obvious I'm perfectly capable already?

Re: speed limit to go up.....theres a first!
 

but are you?

have you been 'tested' to see if you are capable?

at the moment according to your test standard you are only able to do 70mph
