The idea
The government should increase the national speed limit on all motorways to 80 MPH to tie in with most other countries and take full advantage of the technologically advanced cars of the 21st century which are designed to handle faster speeds and be much safer!
- Failing that, upgrade a main motorway from London to Scotland into a 'Freeway' – where the national speed limit is scrapped and it works in the same way as the Autobahn in Germany!
Why is it important?
The present national speed limit is a lot lower than most EU countries, which average at around the 80MPH mark anyway and most cars can safely handle faster speeds – our roads are build a lot safer now to cater for faster speeds…
