Raise national speed limit to 100mph on UK motorways

What the petition asks
I think there are too many accidents because slow cars delay traffic whereas this speed limit could encourage safer motorways. In Germany there is no speed limit on some motorways.
Smart motorways could reduce the 100mph speed limit when there are more cars on the road.
