The current maximum Speed Limit was implemented on The 22nd of Dec 1965. In those intervening years roads have become busier indeed at certain times some roads are gridlocked. People need to get places quicker, modern cars have become more technically advanced and able to perform - and stop a lot quicker than they did back in 1965. Our 70MPH Motorway speed limit is clearly out of date, who - apart from 'Sunday Drivers' honestly never goes over the 70 limit ? if you sat at that speed you would soon have irate drivers tailgating you !.
This archaic limit Must be raised. I would suggest 90 MPH for motorway's and 80 MPH for bypasses. If you agree or disagree please vote in the poll.
