What a load of twodle. So you are saying that to safely over take a car doing 60 you have to break the law? Come on you can think of a better argument than than.

If the speed limit is 70 how can it be ok to drive faster than 70 just so you can over take?
If you can't over take without speeding then it is not a safe place to pass.

Wagons are limited - do we see them crashing because they could not go faster?

I also agree that cars should be speed restricted but I think it should be 80mph and the motor limit raised to 80mph.
Not only that but I think the engines power output should be limited depending on the type of vehicle.

Come on Ian I know you will want to get involved with this one
