I do agree with you but the problem is modern cars are far more advanced then when the limit was introduced so you can get upto 80 without even knowing. My first car was a 1993 corsa you got that to 70 you knew about it. I now drive a 58 plate vauxhall van at work (same size as standard transit) and it gets upto 80 and feels no difference then going 40. Plus modern cars stop allot quicker I think its time they upped the limit personally.
