allowing overtaking on the left on motorways ( just as it is on all other roads ( yep you heard right you can overtake on the left on any other road )) would reduce the effect that
as to this 50 idea its a money making thing our motorways and dual carriage ways are the safest roads in our country and in Europe
it would help if the midea actualy chalanged some of the anti speedig loby to prove thier case as the stats

see section 4 on left

show that exceeding the speed limit isnt the problem and as the motorways ect are already the safest roads this leaves the urban roads as the problem area
and that problem is in the main not to do with exceeding the limit but not driving in accordance with conditions
and pedestrians not looking before crossing
none of this would in any way be affected by a 50 limit
but hey it looks good and the speed is evil brigade love it
