Sorry!!!!
Did you really just say that you believe the speed limits are about right................BUT if you're cruising on a motorway it's usually around the 80mph mark!!!
Are you not contradicting yourself slightly here?
i'd agree, with dave, there is a balance with the speed on the motorway. yes it says 70 but people do 80 and the police don't tend to mind. if you raised it to 80, people would do 90. its in human nature to break the rules. no matter what you set it at people will always want to do more. plus our road network isn't in a good enough condition to cope with a raised limit like germany.
could be worse we could be in america where the limit is 55 on alot of roads.
i'd not complain if the limit was raised, but the sad fact is most drivers aren't up to it
