What the petition asks
Modern cars stopping distances are a lot better than the 1970's cars the speed limit is designed for.
When there is no one about on the motorways there is no danger to anyone else.
If you look at Germany and the auto barns that have been in place for a very long time it makes sense

A speed limit is there for the protection of us and the people around us at the time . But the figures used are out of date and cars nowhere days are a lot more reliable and have a lot better brakes.
Why it was rejected
