Support for higher motorway speed limit

The UK’s largest motoring organisation, the Automobile Association (AA) has lent is support to government plans to raise the speed limit on British motorways to 80 miles per hour. The AA will submit its plans to the UK Highways Agency, the government agency responsible for maintaining Britain’s motorway network, this week. It is expected that a pilot scheme will be agreed.

Its about time that we changed this speed limit it was introduced 40 years ago when 70 m.p.h. was at the limit of the majority of cars. Today, with the improvement in braking and stability management systems, cars are much safer at increased speed.

Lets stop pussy footing about and increase the speed limit on Motorways to 90 m.p..h. NOW!!
