I have never been allowed to drive for medical reasons, but am intrigued as to what drivers think of this idea.

It will ease the congested roads, but what are people supposed to do in an emergency?

The speed limit whilst going past roadworks is to also be increased.

The police are unhappy because they have nowhere to pull over dangerous drivers:

It does rather seem that safety is being compromised in order to accommodate the amount of cars now on the road and could undermine the current efforts to cut car pollution.

What do those who do drive think to this idea?
