Increase national speed limit on the motorway to 100mph.

Petition Details

In December 1965, the UK government trialled a 70mph limit on all motorways. In 1967 this became an official law. More than half a century has passed, and this law is outdated. We would like the government to trial a 100mph limit, and then to implement it or discontinue based on results.

Additional Information

A 2012 YouGov survey found that 78% of men and women admitted to speeding. These results show that drivers are speeding and breaking the law. What is the cause? We believe the cause is that modern cars have become much faster, but on the other hand much safer. Cars have shorter breaking times and increased safety ratings compared to 50 years ago. There are countries that have implemented higher speed limits such as Germany. We could also to look into their statistics to address our concerns.
