Is it still 10%+2 (ish) above the speed limit for the road as discretion for tyre wear and calibration of speedo's? I know if you run a satnav next to your bike or car speedo you will be sadly dissapointed!
I agree- with higher speed there is a need for higher skills all round but how would you enforce extra training? another plate for the main driver bnut he/she may not be driving at the time.........
I like the French idea about slower in the wet but then the barrack room lawyers would want a definition of 'wet'- is that full raining or just drizzle or passing through wet roads when the shower has passed? :eek
If lorries stay at their slower 60mph- will that apply to caravans too? or maybe ban them from the road alltogether except in the silent hours through the night- now there's a thought!
