I think its about time, most people sit around the 80mph mark anyhow, i was on the M2
it was set to 70 back in the day that the average family car wouldn't do much more than 80-90 flat out and stopping/steering at that speed was a bit dodgy to say the least.The average car today will happily cruise at 90 and stop quicker and steer safer at speeds well above this than cars did from 50mph when the 70mph limit was set.
Make trucks ony use the roads between 10pm and 6am.
Would be a good idea, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere near a supermarket getting deliveries throughout the night...
higher speed limit = more petrol used obviously Raz, so one would assume most MPs have a large number of shares in the oil companies.
also, (my idea, thinking on the fly) retraining of cagers to understand that it's the ones joining a motorway/dual carriageway that have to give way and adjust their speed. as it is no one sits in lane 1 cos that's the lane that taffic joins. and it should not do so in a queue nose to tail either.
Or keep the limit the same but let us under and over take slower vehicles that would speed up flow
