Closed petition Increase road speed limits in line with technological advances in car safety

Closed on

FACT - The majority of motorists do not stick to speed limits as they are outdated and unrealistic. I urge the government to survey a single carriageway and review the results. As opposed to penalising motorists, perhaps we could plagiarise a leaf out of Germany's law and introduce a limitless zone?

Perhaps this limitless zone is then controlled by traffic flow. Or perhaps lanes could have designated speeds? In any case, our highway code and accompanying legislation is outdated and impractical. An urgent review is required.
