100 is a bit excessive! 80 or 90 would be fair enough though. I was on the M6Toll on Sunday night, and almost everyone heading south on there was doing over 85 - the traffic was flowing so smoothly and easily. | |

i wouldnt mind 20 near schools so long as it was only when they are likely to be walking out. | |

20 mph sounds good but as vibrio says on motorways the more it is increased the more that people will push it again. | |

I think 70 is still a good speed limit. with 70 most people do around 75-80 anyway. put the limit up to 80 and people will do almost 90. not every one wants to travel so fast onthe roads and this will mean a greater difference in speed. the French have a twin speed limit. bad weather etc reduces the limit by 20 mph or so. | |

well.. as far as i know there are more accidents over here on our motorways than there are on the autobahn, and that is an open speed limit. | |

its been proven that the least accidents happen on motorways so will increasing the speed limit increase the number of accidents?? Im not really sure to be honest but Id say the average speed on a motorway is probably about 80ish anyway if your not stuck in traffic. | |
