I personally think it's a good idea to reduce the speeds. The majority of 60MPH roads can't be driven at 60, but you'll still have the incompetent ones who will try. So why not reduce the speed?

Cars have become a lot safer, yes, but they still can't deal with a combined collision of 120mph or above very well.

I have passed my driving test, but I cannot afford a car, but even if I got one, I wouldn't want to risk going 60mph down a country lane. I value my life more than that, but obviously the 'boy racer' types don't, nor do they respect anyone else's. Imagine what it would feel like to be hit by a car, or even a cars wing mirror at 60-70mph?
