55mph Speed Limit

[presta]

With a Green Party document reportedly proposing 55mph speed limits for motorways, 69% of Britons would be opposed to such a move.
Even green voters don't like it:

We need to consider adopting an EU approach where the speed limit is staggered. Big heavy vehicles limited to lower speeds and the outer slow lanes while cars can travel at 60-80mph in the inner faster lanes depending on the road type. We found driving in Europe so much easier and more fluid than in the UK, apart from joining roads which were a little problematic but largely because the drivers seat was no in the right location.
