It’s foolish populist nonsense to appeal to the Jeremy Clarksons of the UK.
Traffic, which is what everyone is complaining about, flows better when speeds are slower, hence the speed restrictions on the M25 when it gets busy. All this will do is get you to the next traffic jam quicker.
Reduce the speed limit to 55 mph, stop wasting fuel, reduce emissions, reduce delays, and if you need to be there quicker, just get up earlier
My thoughts too.
And going faster than 70mph scares me 🙂
