Raise the UK Motorway Speed Limit to 80mph
Raising the UK motorway speed limit to 80mph could bring the UK in line with other countries, reduce journey times, and increase efficiency for drivers. With modern cars capable of traveling safely at higher speeds, an increase in the speed limit could reflect current driving practices.
Alignment with other countries: Many countries, including France, Germany, and Italy, have speed limits of 80mph on their motorways.
By increasing the speed limit, drivers could maintain a more consistent speed, this could reduce the risk of accidents caused by sudden braking or abrupt lane changes.
Reduced carbon emissions: By reducing travel times, an increase in the speed limit could lead to fewer carbon emissions and help to tackle climate change.
