My 1.6 Suzuki.
I read...phew..quite a while ago, at least two years, that the govt. planned on increasing the spped limit on motorways to 90mph, while decreasing the speed on roads from 30, to 20mph.
Now, doing 20mph would do my head in, but I wouldnt mind doing it in select roads and areas, like near schools.

So it's you that get's in my way when I'm undertaking all the lane hogs
... 65 is harder in my car as it's an awkward position on the accelerator and flicks between gears too muchAll of you people doing over 70 should be ashamed... don't you speeding costs lives....
I hope the government increase the limit soon so it's safe to go faster.

In that case come down to Gateshead and you can swap your car for a 1.2 Punto.
Nahhh......I used to live in Gateshead so I know what it's like

Hmmm @ all these people mentioning fuel consumption. Lopez, were you travelling safely when you were doing 120 in a 30 zone as you put in another thread not so long back?
If that was the case, on the hypothetical road I mentioned, then I would have been travelling safely.

When there is just me and the rabbits, 90mph, usually 70--80 mph though

conservatives said they was gona up motorway speed to 80 if they got in, course they never stood a chance of getting in power.

Wasnt someone banned for a short while for openly admitting drink driving not too long ago?
How is breaking the law by speeding any different to drink driving? People have openly admitted breaking the law in here...

Nah, certainly not that I remember.
A more likely situation would be:
Person admits openly to drink driving
Flame war begins
Insults get thrown about
People get banned/suspended

I tend to sit at 70mph, will go up to 80 to get past something... and occasionally 90mph if there's big bunch of traffic which I want to be clear of.
I rarely do more than 90. Eats too much juice at that speed, since the turbo's on full boost by then!
