i reckon keep the city suburbs the same limit,but dual carrigways and motorways up from 6o mph and 70 mph to 80 mph and 100 mph. the reason being,did you ever do 70 mph and overtake somone doing 60 mph?? slow isnt it,it takes all day..

if there was a higher speed limit on these sort of roads,people wouldnt speed as much because lets be honest here,80 mph is just right, not to slow,and not fast.

if this was introduced,i could see less accidents on the roads as people wouldnt rush as much as they do now,and because its all 1 way on these rds,the flow of traffic[same speed]would be the same resulting in less sudden changes from people....what im trying to say here is...if a car is 10 yards ahead of you and he decides to change lanes,if both of you and the other car is doing 80 mph,its not going to be a problem,but if your doing 80 mph and he is doing 60 mph, and he decides to change lanes,[and lets face it,this happenes everyday with people who speed up the overtaking lane of a dual carrigway] it might result in an accident..

if this ever happens that the speed limit increases,i bet anyone that the % of crashes on these roads will decrease in the first year alone

wacthed anotemy of a car crash 1 night,and not going into another story of this,the % of crashes that are caused by speed is very low,bad roads had a higher % than speed

they are all the time saying speed kills,well of course it does,the faster the impact,the less likely you are to live,but if everyone drove with common sense,this would be a problem...does anyone know the statistics on rd deaths in germany[no speed limit,and perfect roads] i bet its less than anywhere in europe
