The proposal is for speed restrictions on certain single carriageway roads.

In my experience the main problems with driving on such roads are :-

People wanting to overtake at all costs whether visibility or road conditions are suitable, or not.

The fact that many HGV vehicles are restricted to 40mph on such roads, which encourages the point above..

I would be in favour of restricting cars to 50mph on some roads, if the trucks were allowed to go at the same speed (conditions allowing) & a reasonable average speed could be maintained 'in convoy' ???
