I'm sorry if this comes out like a personal attack on Clive, it's really not meant that way, but it's the only way I can express it here. For "you", please read anyone with the "Speed Kills" mentality.
No Clive, it clearly states in both the title and the article we (I) wanted to discuss speed LIMITS, not speeding.

No offense taken, it's clearly a hot topic
So to the original premise, we will not get higher limits on freeway/ autobahn style roads, due as clearly discussed.... The mantra of speed kills.
Should one ever be introduced, the first serious accident will be blamed on speed, which amounts to political suicide.
Causes of accidents are in the following order
1 stupidity, this can be speeding, poorly maintained vehicles, phones etc etc
2 poor roads, plenty around with potholes, poor cambers, unmaintained surfaces etc
3 bad luck, a kangaroo comes through the windscreen, a blowout on what was a perfectly good tyre, etc etc
Due to the prime cause, stupidity, we all fall to the lowest common denometer, and rules are applied accordingly.
As for a system to outlaw stupidity...... Cant be done.
Unlicensed drivers still drive, drunks are still on the road..... Etc etc
Going to leave this thread alone from here on.
