No issues with lorries overtaking. ...

I could think of a few occasions when I have ....... 

Yes, it can be inconvenient but at least they pull over again

Eventually  ......... 10 miles further up the motorway.

Probably because one's doing 0.5 MPH more than the other due to the fuel saving limiters

If only  there was that much differential

And don't forget the slower trucks, the ones limited to 56mph, got to go some to get past many of them....

I can remember when there was no limit. The 70 MPH limit was introduced as a temporary measure in 1965, bearing in mind most family cars would be hard pushed to exceed that by much anyway.
I can't remember when or whether it was made permanent Barbara Castle would have known

I personally think it should be raised to 100MPH for motorways only, most cars are easily capable of cruising at that speed, and have efficient braking systems. The only problem is the prick behind the wheel so perhaps 80MPH would be the sensible choice Then again it's not often that the motorway is clear of traffic to get up to the limit.

i have done 120 in mine , its safe to me ,but only on motorways
