The UK government have released a website (http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/) where people can propose changes to the law.
A suggestion has been made to remove the speed limits on motorways and it has been badly recieved! See the comments on
Remove all limits - http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/repealing-unnecessary-laws/remove-all-speed-limits-on-motorways
http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/repealing-unnecessary-laws/autobahn-style-rules-on-uk-motorways
Here are a few more sensible propositions.
Introduce a minimum speed http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/repea...um-speed-limits-to-be-introduced-on-motorways
Increase upper speed limit - http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/repealing-unnecessary-laws/raise-motorway-upper-speed-limit & http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/repealing-unnecessary-laws/increase-the-motorway-speed-limit
I think if the proposal was worded correctly more people would be amenable to it.
What about "remove the speed limits on a few long distance motorway sections in the following 2 situations, 1) when the road is dry and 2) Between the hours of 19:00 and 06:00 (or other off peak times.)"
Would that be enough? What would you propose along these lines and do you think it would be a disaster in terms of accidents?
