What the petition asks
We want the Government to increase the speed limit on dual carriage and motorway to 80 MPH.
We believe modern cars are better equipped than ever with safety features that make them much safer than before. We think that the roads are safer when they are less congested, and that there might be fewer accidents on the roads when the cars are traveling at higher speeds.
