Rejected petition Introduce realistic speed limits, and stop treating motorists as a cash cow.

Cars braking systems are far better than they've ever been, but successive governments have lowered speed limits to a ridiculous level on may main roads where the limit doesn't need to be that low.
To then police these limits with average speed cameras is just a way of mugging motorists. Stop it!!
