I now drive a 58 plate vauxhall van at work (same size as standard transit) and it gets up to 80 and feels no difference then going 40. Plus modern cars stop allot quicker I think its time they upped the limit personally.
I learnt to drive in an Austin A30 was lucky if it reached 30mph but like you say when you have ordinary sedan cars that get fro 0 to 60 in 8 seconds there's a big difference today and you don't seem like your moving. Having said that I drove all over the country with my job and the only ticket I ever got was a parking ticket in Carlisle in 77 cost me 2 quid
