Petition Climate Change. Promote 50mph speed limit on all but electric vehicles/ coaches.

Mount a lengthy advertising and information campaign to encourage drivers into travelling more slowly (50mph suggested). As a final resort, this could become legislation. Exempting electric vehicles and coaches would encourage the use of these forms of transport.
