- EXPERT Driver Reacts To 100MPH Speed Limit 🥴. Ill be honest I think this is a crazy move and will lead to more issues. Do you think this will move things closer to more restrictions of cars?

Increasing the speed limit comes out most elections and the only thing that happens is more 20mph limits and cameras
Even IF 100mph speed limit was introduced, it doesn't mean you have to do that speed. As ever the choice is yours, and according to safety, you adjust your driving according to the conditions. YOU are in control.
Not to mention the state of the roads, speedbumps , potholes etc.
Would not surprise me if this leads to 20mph speed limits and speed humps, ON MOTORWAYS!. Our Council officials are stupid enough!
1. Potholes and other obstructions like deliberately not straight roads and bollards 2. Cars are too wide 3. Parking on the pavement or just anywhere you fancy 4. Pointlessly low speed limits 5. Lane discipline
True, roads are not up to the standards for increased speed limits, this is a ploy to distract from the total control they want.
Plus too many foreigners that have clearly bought their licenses from wish
Cars are definitely too wide. The windows are too small as well.
2 cars and a dodgy licence then work for Uber.😂
Their Uber badge comes free in the bottom of a box of LIDL cornflakes
@@PeterHD-hj6bi haha,
I've driven in many different countries, and I think the problem is people over here don't seem to have common sense anymore.
Have to agree. It's all about the rules and no common sense applies. Does my head in.
I started at 17 years old on motorcycles at 20 I pasted my driving test with only 11 lessons.IMO 3 years motorcycling man me a better driver because it made me more aware and my situational awareness is at a higher level.
I was exactly the same , I think everyone should have at least 1 year on a motorbike to gain this experience.
me too,riding bikes from 14,passed my car test at 42.made a big difference.
i find motocycle drivers make better car drivers
I started on my Zundap motor scooter at 17, passed my car test at 19, my instructor commented on the fact that my road sense was much better than his previous pupils.
Me, too, I rode a bike for a good while before passing my test, the passed my driving test easily three years later. I couldn't have a better start in the lunacy of experiencing some drivers whilst riding a motorcycle.
And what happened about the driving green agenda ? Their contradictions are beyond belief !!
No such thing, it's just government bs
I have had a licence for over 45 years and the road conditions are far and away the worst I remember. One thought I had recently is stopping distances, even without large holes many roads are rough with the surface often loose. Near junctions and other important places this must affect how quickly you can stop or even cause vehicles to veer off course. Having a defective tyre is an offence, but not so a deffective road. How about MOTs for roads?
Taking into consideration the average speed on motorways now is 85mph. Modern technology vehicles are designed to cope and work better at those speeds. All things said, imo the driving lessons and tests should be on the same level as Germany.
Most people dither along at 42mph on straight A roads in perfect conditions ...... next time you are behind someone that's holding you up check what speed they are doing 🤔🤣
You are so right, I forgot, many can only muster a 20mph brain at best.
I'm retired now with a bus pass, less convenient but much less stressful. My last four working years were as a 16 seat minibus driver for a day centre. I had the responsibility for those people's lives in my hands. I had to drive considerately, often to my inconvenience. Overtaken on speed bumps, undertaken round islands, beeped and sworn at. Even got rear ended once off an island. Fortunately I was empty at the time. It always occured to me what would happen had I been carrying a relative of the idiot drivers who caused me an accident. Total lack of regard for all other people once they are behind a wheel.
If you had such problems all the time, did it ever occur to you that your driving might have been at fault?
@@thisisnumber0 I'll admit I may have been not the best myself, but I was attempting to be within the law.
The reason no speed limit Autobahn's work in Germany is Driver awareness and lane discipline, there is no lane discipline on UK motorways how many time have you travelled on a motorway and the inside lane is empty and the middle lanes are full of cars.
German roads are all maintained to a much higher standard than even our best, which makes a huge difference.
@@davidpowell6098 also, if the speed limit is lowered due to a dangerous section, then the German drivers comply. Fast roads, but less aggressive driving.
They've had the ability to impose speed reduction on m'ways when traffic/accidents/weather dictates for decades. How difficult would it be to use the same signs to announce increased speed limits if/when those conditions allow, instead of getting fined & endorsed for doing 80 at 3 in the morning with zero traffic and perfect visibility.
Class 1 driver here. After 25 yrs working abroad, I returned in 2009. The driving skills and aggressiveness I witnessed on British roads, shocked me. It was like I was driving in a 3rd World country, like some of the places I had experienced first hand. Defensive driving is the only option,and, a excellent insurance policy which has a serious uninsured coverage. .......
Probably because there are a lot more drivers from 3rd world countries and not always with a valid driving licence.
I passed my test in the RAF, Once we passed the test, we then had to drive at night on the motorway, as part of the course. I think that these days, this should be compulsory before the actual licence is issued as the experience of safe driving at speed is sadly lacking.
@@Stoplooklistentome No, that one was for trainee pilots, but an officer crashed it.
I live in the arse end of Cornwall. The nearest motorway is over a hundred miles away….. on the plus side I’m pretty adept at negotiating narrow lanes and my reversing skills are good too 😊
Spot on. Hit a deep pothole at 100MPH and ......Our roads are not not fit for purpose at 30MPH. German autobahns are well maintained?
The faster you hit a pothole on a motorway, the less of a problem it is. Try it.
Wheels skip potholes at higher speeds.
It wasn't that long ago I watched a CZcams video about UK speed limits. It was during the time they were thinking of introducing 20mph in towns. They were talking about 50mph on a motorway, 40mph on duel carriageway, 30mph on back roads and 20mph in towns. Some people might like 100mph on our motorways. But somehow I don't think it will happen. Our government are more into taking things away from us the people, and introducing more fines.
Hitting a pothole at 100 mph is better than hitting it at 70 mph? These people should get out of their office more, and instead of looking at a computer model, see the reality.
It is
@@andrewprettyquick2070 Hitting a pothole at 100 mph is very, very, very much better than hitting it at 70 mph
royfairybrass has no idea but has an erroneous imagination.
It is better. Physics says the faster you go over a pot hole the less the wheel drops.
@@Jacob-yb6bv it rather depends on the length of the pot hole. If it is long enough for the wheel to drop significantly then you have the requirement that, at the other side of the pot hole, the wheel has to climb faster.
There's some sort of 'Law of Inverse Proportions' at work here - the people who are in the habit of driving at 100mph, are the one's least skilled in doing so safely.
The 2 most important factors, are; how much faster you are going compared to the general flow, and the potential impact speed with vehicles coming the other way.
And what do you have to back up your assertion? Nothing.
Safety experts predicted bunching when the NSL was proposed. They were right. There was little bunching and fewer accidents before the NSL when speed differentials prevented bunching.
"People driving at 100mph are least skilled" Where the hell did you get that from?
@masonic1016 … your first assertion is simply a personal prejudice with nothing to back it up. My belief is that accidents result from inattention. Those driving at high speed are (usually) focussed on the conditions and aware of the consequences of a high speed collision.
@@Jack-bs6zb Inattention has always been the official number one cause of accidents.
@@Jack-bs6zb No - my comment is based on actual observation which I can back up with government data and news articles, and is such a big problem in my area that the local councils have effected 2 separate High Court Injunctions in order to give Police greater powers to try to control it. There have been a shocking number of fatal accidents too, where the main contributing factor (other than excessive speed) is lack of experience - e.g. driver is aged under 18 or unlicensed.
@@Masonic1016 ... we are all gifted with 'actual observation' and mine runs contrary to yours it would seem. You have NO evidence that 'people in the habit of driving at 100mph are the ones least skilled' . The least skilled and those incapacitated by drugs or alcohol, or those otherwise distracted are most likely to be the cause of accidents. The only aspect relating to speed is the severity of the damage resulting from an accident - that's all! The least skilled are inclined to display 'P' signs and my 'actual observation' is that they drive at modest speed, not 100mph. I'll agree that 100mph requires the utmost concentration as events can occur very rapidly but that was not your claim.
Where's my flying car.... I was promised the future would be great.....
instead,,,,,,,,,,!!!!!!!!
good luck fitting brakes to that.
One thing that erks me is the darn o/head traffic control on the M25 whenever there is sometimes a small problem and the speed restriction is controlled for a ridiculous length in miles causing a unnecessary megga back up and taking time to have that control measure removed once the problem has been resolved.
I'm a class 1 truck driver.. limited to 56 that would be like hitting a brick wall at 44mph .. oh dear 😮
The roads are not in a fit enough state. Even the motorways are now in a poor state of repair. 🙄
The M1 when first opened had no speed limit, a speed limit was introduced to stop the coaches doing 100 mph.
There is no worry of vehicles going too fast due to roadworks
Britain is a wibbly-wobbly island with wibbly-wobbly roads. 80mph is the de facto speed limit on motorways, which is fast enough. British motorways cannot handle 100mph+ traffic.
Germany has no speed limit on their motorways. I go two or three times a year, not perfect but makes much beter standards of driving.
Each time the greens in Germany try and apply a limit the electrate make it very clear to leave well alone.
Its not speed that kills Andy. Otherwise all astronoughts would be dead 😂😂😂 its bad drivers.
Every time I am on a motorway I watch the standard of lane use. It is laughable. 100pmh no way.
As a very experienced driver myself - passed my test in 1978 - I agree with everything you said. The faster you go the less reaction time you have, public roads are not designed like race tracks, and over 99% of drivers are not competant at high speed, myself included despite my experience. Indeed, there are a great many drivers that really shouldn't be on the roads at all, as many would agree.
1) speed limits won't be raised because of "pollution"
2) speed doesn't kill,people's driving ability does
3) right of way has been replaced by priority
heath and safety are never gonna let it happen , years ago they said it would cost a 100 million pounds per mile to upgrade the barriers lamp posts road surface lighting etc to be suitable for 100mph
When conditions are correct 100 mph is a good maximum speed to travel at in a good car. However, there is a growing and disturbing trend where speed limits are seen as the speed to drive at, not just a maximum speed if the conditions are good. I actually find it disturbing when I see youtube driving instructor videos where they give driving test faults for drivers not driving at the speed limit, personally, I think one should never drive faster than they are confident to do so as long as they are considerate with following vehicles. There are many 70 mph dual carriageways where I feel one should only do 60 on them.
The roads in this country are too crowded and too narrow for the speed limit ‘s to be increased. The roads in Europe are much wider and I think they have better driving manners too. Another interesting video thank you Andy
100mph? It will never happen... the nanny state will see to that because of the cost of cleaning up RTA's - plus they make too much money from speeding fines.
Could it be that the old cars we used to drive needed more concentration to drive? Modern cars almost drive themselves so is it boredom causing frustration and road rage?
IMO there are doo many distractions in modern cars from music to lights flashing at you and beepers beeping.
I've never driven a car with touch screen controls, but I think they'd really impede your concentration.
Friend of mine, Lives in a big family house. They have 8 cars and 4 vans squeezed into their front garden/driveway. BUT they use each others cars so they dont get blocked in.
After 43 years of driving I thought selling my car and becoming a pedestrian would save me from lunatic drivers, but no. Apparently stopping at red lights at a pedestrian crossing is now optional.
Hi Andy, As a professional driver, and having driven in Germany. The best I could hope for is 80 on the motorway, 70 on dual carriageway and 60s been kept on the country lanes.
To do 100 mph people need to change their car to diesel, change their tyres to 150mph speed rating to give them an extra safety factor. Then go on a skid pan and have a race day at Silverstone, so you know how things feel and resct. What I learnt in Germany at 100mph your car empties itself a lot quicker, you then drop down to 80, which seemed to be the speed that people in Germany averaged out to.
Plus me and my wife nearly got wiped out by a Porsche Taxi (I kid you not) as we were about to over take another vehicle he was coming so fast only my wife just spotted him in the nick of time!
If they introduce 100mph, then simultaneously introduce a mandatory 2 year ban for exceeding it, no mitigation allowed.
Don't be an emotional idiot.
I did s 360, bounced off the barrier and caught fire at 100MPH on the M1 and no one was hurt. It happened so fast it felt like I was on a fairground ride. I don't fancy trying it again though!
I’m a firm believer that people need to go to a race track or invest in a simulator to learn how to drive properly. Not being able to control the car at speeds seems crazy to me.
I totally agree this would put me off the motorways. Doing great job Andy ❤
You're broadcasting your incompetence here.
100+mph is ok, the trouble is the amount of prats that sit in the 2nd or 3rd lane even when empty & its 4 lanes, also those who think that just by putting on indicator it means they have the right away plus all the foreign born drivers who think they can drive the same way as they did abroad, then also nervous drivers who really shouldnt be on motorways if so nervous they are doing 40-50mph in good weather!
If need be they should have 2 types of licences for 100+ motorways those only good enough for 50-70 should be restricted too 1st two lanes & the 3rd to 4th+ etc for those shown able too concentrate on traffic behind, beside them & infront by 1/4 mile should be able too use all lanes
Drivers who stick to the 'middle' lane on motorways dive me mad! I drove through Italy last year- far better road manners.
speed limits on the motorway should staggered for best results as in 70 mph first lane, 80mph second lane, 90 mph third lane, that way no one waiting for someone else to move out of the lane.
Stopping distance at 100 mph is TWICE than that at 70 mph.
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 mv^2
I guess these people don't even have basic physics knowledge. This means the faster you go, the more at risk of death you become (a lot more). I know I can't be trusted at 100mph, I'm sure many other people cannot be trusted either, so yeah, this is completely stupid idea.
In a perfect world you would not need speed limits as everyone would drive at the appropriate speed for the road conditions (0-c). But people have not been trained/have the right capacity to do this hence the arbitrary speed limits.
From the M4 to a Welsh junction. 100mph to 20 mph in a flash. I see huge pile ups,
I learnt in the sixties, all the drivers stopped to help others in trouble. Drivers were much more polite and helpful, people enjoyed using their cars, there were far far far fewer signs, lines, cameras, obstructions, restrictions and so on. We were taught the highway code and expected it to be adhered to, that included pedestrians and cyclist.
I'm curious, are foreigners taught our code, do they use our roads as they do abroad, no wonder theres mayhem out there.
Drivers have become impatient and angry the way our roads are being so constricted, pot holes everywhere causing vehicle damage 😡
The worst accident I saw was a articulated lorry in the ditch at the side of the road with its front smashed in. I was wondering what had done that as the police guided me past all the bits scatted over the road. And then I saw the back wheels and a bit of car in the road, and when I was about 50 yards past the lorry there was a car engine sitting in the middle of the road. I could not tell you what the car was, because it was in hundreds of bits. This was on a 60mph road, no way could that amount of damage be do at that speed, I think I was looking at a 100mph crash, in to a lorry doing les than 60 mph, because it was on a bend in the road. The lorry was on the correct side of the road, I think the car was going to fast to take the bend.
It's become more apparent in the past couple of years or so that people can't drive consistently, safely or in accordance with the highway code at 20-40 mph let alone at 90-100
100 is over 120 realistically total madness, my mother died in a car crash so I’ve had the dreadful knock nobody would ever want, it’s not human life that’s important as humans kill everything, it’s the beautiful wildlife that suffers and the great people who have to mop it up.
I passed my driving test in 1963 in that time I have driven a million or two miles all over this country with my job , I have never had an accident not one and I never was a slow driver always using my heavy right foot when safe to do so .
Slowly but surely over the years I have as I’m sure you have Andy noticed a decline in driving standards Big time , at one time we had police traffic cars everywhere watching out for Bad drivers replaced by speed cameras, speed cameras capture vehicles travelling over the speed limit for that stretch of road but rarely do they catch out Bad drivers, it’s bad drivers driving too fast at the wrong time and place that cause accidents, driver education especially to young just passed their tests falls way short of what is required to teach them the dangers of inappropriate driving .
For older more experienced drivers driving stupidly there are not the police vehicles on the roads to catch them and send them back to Driving School. Keep up the good work Andy .
driving test passed out to easy
They just need an additional class on the license for 100mph where the driver has to do an IAM advanced driving course to be able to do it👍
Have we not been told that speed kills.
The accidents started as soon as the man with the red flag was dispensed with.
135 would be fairer.
Driving in Germany on the Autobahn, as soon as there is heavy rain there is automatic speed restrictions
Tougher sentences for those who do less than 40mph on motorways.....
I agree with you it won't work at all because most drivers are doing more MPH than what it states on the motorway signs thus how the accidents are happening
Drivers need educating about how to use the motorways properly. The Authorities should put up signs like 'keep your distance' 'don't hog the middle lane' Get in nearside lane before turning off' etc. And on the approaches, YOU give way to motorway traffic!
Anybody who drives on the motorways will invariably see cars moving well in excess of the speed limit. Increase the limit and people will push the limit, just as they do now.
They must be playing jokes on us.
Every new thing they’re passing seems to be the opposite of common sense, and the opposite of what everybody wants. If it’s not a joke, I don’t get it.
The thing is in the Nineties when you and i learned to drive we actually stuck to the laws of the road because if we didnt we never knew who was following us ie unmarked police cars and actually having the poice in charge of every aspect of driving and parking laws. But since bliar devolved driving laws to councils and then pushing for cameras everywhere people have realised less police are on the roads so basically drive as they wish knowing the chances of getting caught doing a misdemeanor is a very rare thing now so will commit every offence going on our roads. We should ban the bloody cameras and replace them with a police officer on the roads and community then driving standards and general road rules might be observed again. Technology hasnt improved driving in fact its ruined driving on the public roads with all modes of transport
Kind of contradictory to our struct emisions laws. Only increasing CO output.
I think it could work if they build and add a forth live lane on the motorway network, and make it 100 mph only
People were less entitled when I started driving more compassionate and had more respect for other road users. If the speed limit was increased, congestion would increase too. Why? Cause there will be more road closures due to collisions. If the speed limit was 100mph, some drivers would do 120mph. The faster you go, the less reaction time you have. It’s as simple as that
Well said .agree 100% have been driving fifty years .totaly diffrent world now
Disagree. Been driving 61 years.
Baseless assertions here, driven by imagination and emotion
@AbsolutelyAverage … Then what happens on motorways when there’s a temporary 50mph limit? You get traffic bunching up with reduced spacing and shorter tempers … and more collisions. I would only recommend 100 mph on motorways and not on urban roads or country lanes of course.
@@Jack-bs6zb If people followed the two second rule (4 if the weather is poor) then there wouldn't be any bunching up at any speed! Imagine the road is a conveyor belt, everyone took their space and stayed there. What happens then? Its bad drivers that ruin it for everyone. Totally selfish and I'd be happy to chat about it until the cows went home, but not many are for listening
@@thisisnumber0 Baseless? You sound like someone who takes their driving so personally, you will never be told you might be in the wrong. My guess is people with this attitude are part of the problem. Bad attitude = bad driver
If they really wanted to get cars off the road, the simple solution is to restrict car finance. Won't do that though, too many big corporations would be immediately up in arms.
It is perhaps worth noting that, despite their superior driving instruction, their superior roads, their generally better cars, etc, Germany has a 30% higher death rate from road accidents than the UK. I suspect we would leapfrog them in the fatality statistics if we tried to emulated the Germans with speed limits.
70 is plenty for the amount of vehicles and poor standards of driving on the motorways' especially when you have lane hoggers and those that go from the outside lane to the nearside at the last second to exit the motorway 100 mph is a disaster waiting to happen.
So, two hours on a motorways at 100 mph, then getting off to an immediate drop to 20mph once you exit, what could go wrong?
Everything you say is true but perhaps a halfway stage could be considered for example a motorway 70 until 8.00pm then 100 till 6.00am
100 mph limits will assist you to arrive at 20 mph zones sooner.. plenty of fines will be issued there
I’ve been driving 60 years so the changes are mind blowing. If anyone thinks a 100mph would be a good idea, then think again. The budding F1 hopefuls , (which there are many) couldn’t handle 30mph let alone 100mph. There’s so much wrong with this idea I’d be here for a week trying to make sense of it and failing.
We build cars capable of doing 140 MPH but regrettably, our brains are only capable of processing at 40 MPH. That is why there is a thinking time (7/10 of a second) included in the stopping distances in the Highway Code.
Yours might be, doesn't mean it's the same for the rest of us.
100mph on motorways is a very good idea - vehicle braking systems are so very much more responsive and safer than they were in 1965 when the 70mph limit was introduced.
If anything there should be penalty points given for driving too slowly and middle lane hogging - these 2 areas seem to be the cause of most accidents on motorways. IMHO people who have just passed their test should have to have had their licence for 12 to maybe 48 months before they are allowed motorway driving so they have gained at least a half decent road and situation awareness driving in many conditions and how vehicles react and to have gained insight of how others drive and enable them to read the different situations that arrive. Plus I believe that all must have initial road experience of at least 12 months on a motorcycles so they truely gain a good understanding of roads, driving etiquette, constant observations and spacial awareness.
Talk about encouraging criminality ! WHAO!
Bear in mind that there is a considerable increase in ‘foreign’ drivers on Britains roads; many of those drivers will be driving on licences obtained from countries whose test standard may well not be comparable to the UK test standard. You may not realise that drivers can drive for up to a year on a foreign licence; how were these licences obtained…Who knows? You only have to see the number of drivers that ‘stop’ at a secondary red light when turning right. As a driving instructor for 22 years in London, I encountered numerous provisional drivers from, shall we say, non - English restaurant environments? attempting to ‘share’ a provisional licence between employees! Even for the driving test!
I am certain that it still goes on. Added to this, the number of unlicensed motorcycle food delivery riders making the driving experience particularly hazardous does nothing to help ‘legitimate’ licence holders stay calm and safe on the roads; and of course, the standard of policing does nothing to address this issue; they are far too busy investigating ‘hate speech!’ Forgive me for being cynical.
When I started driving, there was no national speed limit. I sometimes drove the length of the M1 without dropping below 100mph. Not always, traffic often prevented this, it could be heavy back then. I never had a moment of drama. Experts opposed to the NSL predicted it would bring bunching, and it did. Big speed differentials spread out the traffic and made it safer.
Unnaturally low speed limits have a soporific effect. How many accidents are caused by drowsy drivers?
You can do 200mph in Germany now.
Andy, your argument is based on emotion. You should be better than that as a professional driver.
Like you, I used to do long distance chauffeuring, up to 80,000 milea a year. I, too, have seen everything and been involved in motor sport.
Please don't be a ninny, emotion shouldn't come near this.
I was taught in my lessons that an obstruction does not give someone the right of way. It's whomever gets there first. I passed my test in the 90s too. I do find that these new dangerous EVs are too big for car parks now, and they also make car park spaces too small.
YES TOTALLY AGREE,CARS HAVE GOT BIGGER ,BAYS IN CARPARKS STAY THE SAME SIZE,THEY ARE TO SMALL FOR BIGGER CARS AND NEED SORTING OUT,
With the current state of the road network and drivers probably 80 mph tops. I drive for a living and the amount of muppets on the road is unbelievable. Saw someone jotting stuff down on a writing pad in the middle lane of the motorway the other day. Not to mention the amount of people i see casually on their phones.
Absolutely ridiculous 100 mph wtf 😮
Speed doesn’t kill its the distance of breaking allowed that causes the problem!
Inappropriate speed kills! In all circumstances. 100 mph in a modern well maintained car on an empty dual carriageway/ motorway is not dangerous, 30 mph passed a school at turn out time is. 61 + years of fairly high mileage around the world including autobahns.
No one is forcing you to do that speed.
Yes its a good thing as far as I'm concerned, even though don't travel that fast much myself, I think its good for others, the times I see people doing 80-90 easily and more. I have ALWAYS Advocated the third to be a higher limit so that people in the third can get past the second lane properly and safely.
I have been driven on the Autobahn at 130 -140 MPH the thing to remember that trucks are doing 60! You have to be so aware of so many things or your dead! 80 would be more sensible I think!
Dual carriageways 50 sneakily added 20 everywhere else .
100 mph no f.... Chance ..
Anyone can drive fast, stopping in a controlled manner is a totally different ball game.
20 years ago maybe but not now far too many cars on the road in the uk and the standard of driving has massively decreased since I passed my test back in 91, since then I have lived, worked and driven all over the world and at times have worked as a professional driver in multiple types of vehicle and completed several types of advanced driving courses. I loved driving on the autobahn but even they have some serious accidents and in my opinion they are far better trained drivers than the drivers in the uk, but like you say this comes up every few years and nothing comes of it.
There is no limit on the Autobahn in Germany, I have driven for many hours maintaining a steady 90mph, and cars were passing me like I was standing still! my point is eveything finds it's own level. This eliminates the speed up and slow down on our motorways caused by the speed cameras.
70MPH now but most drive 80-90MPH motorway. So make it 100MPH and guess what...
160 should be the 6 point threshold.
My little 1.0l car can barely reach 70mph, let alone 80 or 100. Gives you much less time to make a decision, this is a diabolical idea.
I live in the countryside and you can’t drive more than 20 mph although some do with little regard for dog walkers and horse riders.
What's the point? Never a clear enough road to do it on. The usual is 50mph through miles of roadworks.
ANDY , driving standards are appaling , it's not just the 'oldies' it's relatively new drivers , I'm in favour of them wearing a green P ( probationary )plate for 12 months then take a roadcraft test ( free), if you fail that it's a retake of the normal test at cost , I'm having to drive for them their that bad . . .
adding many cars are only tested at 30 or 40 mph crashes thats where u get 5 stars from but 100 mph lol the cars would have to be rebuild and cost a lot more and weigh more
I disagree with you on the speed limit issue especially on motorways. The solution would be to ban foreign license holders from buying cars in the uk till they pass our driving test. They could bring their own cars or use hire cars for upto 3 months only
If they increased the speed limit to 100mph drivers would then go 110mph, i think the reason 70mph has stayed with us so long is partly down to some of the horrendously bad driving habits you see on motorways, drivers who sit in the over taking lanes at 50mph for miles on end for instance, imagine approaching them at a hundred miles an hour....😢
Sad thing is people have changed and become aggressive drivers reduce the speed to 60
