Rejected petition Increase the UK national speed limit.

The UK national speed limit was set at 70MPH for motorways and dual carriageways in 1965. I think it should be brought inline with the rest of Europe to 80 MPH for motorways and dual carriageways. With the modern vehicles and brakes we now have in 2018.
