Rejected petition Removal of maximum speed limit on national motorways

Rather than increase the maximum speed limit from 70 to 80 mph (as proposed by transport secretary Philip Hammond), have a public consultation to change to a system like the German autobahns where there is no general speed limit only an advisory one.
