March 8, 20178 yr think it would ever happen? i think 80 would be more acceptable but look at what the police would say - well people would do 90 then anway
March 8, 20178 yr Quite a few small motors would be screaming high up in the revs to maintain 80 too so you'd have a lot more !Removed! off beemer drivers trying to overtake Miss Marple in her 1.0 aygo.

Just because that is the limit doesn't mean you have to drive at it, think you will always get the 'sense of entitlement' lot who block the overtaking lane or sit on your bumper. A lot of comments I have seen so far all point to the 70mph limit being used as legislation to restrict people who cannot drive that fast safely any way. Issue is you cannot legislate for individuals inability to drive safely at speed or behaviour once they are behind the wheel - threat of multiple points large fines and bans does not work as well as they would like (but does swell the Govt coffers), many still continue to drive whilst banned or over the legal drink / influence limits.

March 8, 20178 yr that would only leave 13 mph too between off to court ! so they would have to change that

March 8, 20178 yr I think the issue may lay with lorries still been limited to 55-60mph Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
March 8, 20178 yr Author Must admit though having experienced the Autobahn in Germany I like that approach but lane discipline and your outside lane hoggers would have to be addressed

March 8, 20178 yr HGV are a cronic problem when they try to overtake, what you going to achieve? Naff all ! i had one nearly side swipe me yesterday
March 8, 20178 yr Should be fast lane 80, middle 70. Thats would make sense as youd need go over 70 to overtake a hogger at 65/70 anyway. After all the years ive driven up down, never seen anyone drive 70 on the outside fast lane - unless raddies/po-pos/five-o's - are crawling in the traffic. █ W █ R █ X █
