BUT

It does raise a question.

The speed limit on a motorway is 70mph set in 1950 odd? Modern cars come with ABS/VDC much improved tyre technology etc. to name but a few.

If i set off to drive down to Maidenhead early on a Sunday morning (6am) for work and the weather is fine. Can I hand on heart say i obey the speed limit, erm, no course not

Surely there has to be a thought of hmm, perhaps we could look at variable speed limits.

However, residential areas I completely agree with....
Could do ,8pm to 6am could be 80-90 mph or unrestricted on some motorways ,i've travelled the M1 through the night and it is usually quite empty and well set up for variable speed limits
