[bored bigyin54]

when are they going to replace the out dated 70 milel a hour limit on uk motorways cars can do more than that

[RobG]

About 2013

[bored bigyin54]

hoe much

[bored bigyin54]

bugger how much

[bored bigyin54]

i bet they put it up to 80 to slow

[Rods2]

No doubt the Libdems in conjunction with BRAKE will insist it is 80kph!! 

With 30kph in all built up areas.

It's all well and good raising the speed limit and to some extent I agree. The problem you have though, is although the cars are more capable at higher speeds and stopping quicker, you've still got the same idiots who can't drive properly as it is 

I've lost count the amount of times I've seen articulated lorries restricted to 56mph, having to overtake idiots on the motorway doing 50

I personally think these prats shouldn't be allowed out, let alone on the motorway!!

Its wrong, however, to do what the last government tried, and to legislate to the lowest common demoninator.

TB's manifesto for motorways:
Speed limit 85/65 (dry/wet) for cars, 55 for HGV
Minimum speed limit 70/50 (dry/wet) for cars, (no min for HGV) with matrix signs if weather deemed too bad
On 3 lane motorways, only cars and car derived vans in outside lane. No trailers in outside lane.
No caravans or camper vans. Ever.
Anyone caught hogging middle lane to immediately have to take another test. 2nd offence, death.

For town traffic:
A minimum journey length of 2 miles. That means you can't take little thicko Johnny to school in the car, walk him you lazy fat ugly cow.



Reckon I stand a chance of election?

The idea is sound, and it is well intentioned. Summat along the lines of 'getting the economy moving more efficiently'.

Which is nice .

Does have one slight gaping hole though...

The lorries are still restricted to 56 ish. Surely to get the economy moving, the lorries need speeding up

[Del Boy]

I've gotta say, I think TB's idea sounds good

[tunnie]

I've gotta say, I think TB's idea sounds good

Agreed, with the addition of anyone driving at night with:

Fog Lights on
Side lights on
Full beam always on
DIY chav me gay LED mods

To be immediately pulled over & shot!

Don't forget 'No lights'. I am truly frightened by the number of people joining the M23 at Gatwick in the dark with no lights at all on.

Just re read it.

Middle lane punishment is too lenient IMHO. People that stupid wouldn't understand what the re test was for.

Otherwise perfect sense.

Easy on the pikey van's TB 

[albitz]

I would propose some amendments to TB,s roads policy.
1. No trucks on motorways.Freight to go back on the railways and then be distributed locally by small trucks.
2. Seperate stringent test before being allowed on motorways - if you arent capable of sustained high speed driving and impeccable lane discipline,your not allowed on them.
3. Lane 3 strictly for those wishing to travel flat out.
4. An extra lane - lane 4  - for motorcycles only.
5. Serious breach of motorway etiquette punishable by death for those without dependants, and a life ban for those with dependants.
All those in favour say aye.

[albitz]

Pikey wagons banned from motorways (and all other highways) stay in a hotel or stay at home.
