Lorry's should be banned from outside lanes and all cars should be forced to do at least 60mph
As said they also need to be far stricter on tail gaters and people who drive far too slow and cause tailbacks
These people cause accidents through frustration and general traffic congestion as much as speeders0 -
The speed limits are fine as they are, it would cause more accidents if the limit was raisedNo Links in Signature by site rules - MSE Forum Team 20

I've been many a time stuck behind two lorries going up hill in the outside lane of a dual carriageway NSL road. The lorry in he outside lane inching on the lorry on the inside lane by an inch a minute.0 -
