Closed Increase the speed limit on UK Motorways

Closed on

An increase of the maximum speed limit on public Motorways from 70MPH to 100MPH. The last time this was changed was in 1965 when most cars were barely capable of the maximum. Most accidents are not related to speed and are more likely poor driving or bad car maintenance.
