Sure. This has always been the case. Probably isn’t a good basis to change it mind, but most of us will support it
With the massive increase in energy needed to overcome increasing drag at higher speeds then this will be worse for EVs.
Doesn’t sound like a good idea, the roads are too crowded and there’s too many bad drivers.
don’t know how I feel about this, Ive never felt the need to drive faster than 70mph, with an 80mph limit people will absolutely chose to break the limit and hit 90+
80 is perfectly acceptable in daylight but should be 70 at night to address the nationwide problem of ultra bright headlights.
Yeah, just as soon as UK drivers learn how to _use_ the motorway.
Living in the Midlands I’d love to even reach 70 on the motorway nowadays.
I’m on the fence with this one. I’m sure nobody would personally choose to limit themselves to 70 given an option, myself included, but it’d be risky considering the quality of driving in this country appears to be on a noticeable steady decline.
Most seem to travel at at least that speed anyhow.
Balance it out by reducing all urban roads to 20mph.
Well 80 is pretty much the minimum speed for half the m40. Rest of the network it’s hardly going to be possible to get to 80 outside of nighttime hours is it
Lane discipline is too poor in the UK imo. In France they pull back in after passing and they diligently indicate for both maneuvers.
We’re not disciplined in the UK to deal with an 80mph limit.
Once people work out which fucking lane to use then we might start thinking about it.
How about we just make sure motorways can actually handle 70. Wild how in Wales I’m having to do 50 on the motorway
Sure but do it alongside compulsory black boxes linked to every road. You can do 80 or even 100 on motorways when safe but have the car enforce variable speed limits everywhere. Road only allows 40 – thats as fast as your car can go.
Save a fortune on “Smart” motorways and you could even dynamically alter the maximum as the weather changes.
Us, and a few other countries like Norway and Latvia are the only ones with a speed limit of 70mph in Europe. The vast majority of countries are 75mph, 80mph or 85mph.
I’d gladly welcome and accept an increase to 80mph (or higher), but I think they need to crack down on stuff like middle lane hogging and I’d even suggest as far as forcing learner drivers on motorways like they do in Germany to force higher driving standards by enforcing better lane etiquette.
Obviously not everywhere in the UK is near a motorway, so that would create a challenge.
The link doesn’t say how the question was phrased, to get this answer. Pity.
It was only about twenty years ago that the traffic would move on the motorway at around 85mph, more in places.
