I'm a firm believer that, on certain roads and at certains times of the day/night, there should be a minimum speed limit and that the maximum speed limits should be increased.

For example, motorways/dual-carriageways. Why should I be restricted to 70Mph at 2 O'clock in the morning on a long straight bit of road when there's nobod else about?
Similarly, single carriage-way bypasses. Where I live there are a number of long, open roads. Well-lit and clear of all pedestrians etc. Why should I, in the wee hours of the morning, be forced to sit behind some muppet who doesn't want to travel above 30Mph in a National Speed Limit zone? I can't overtake because the lines down the middle are solid, I can't go any faster because the guy in front says that I can't.
