Is this a good idea or a tory con seeing as they never give owt away to the masses without an ulterior motive :(. Also is this a UK policy or just south and west of the border.

Thank for the reminder.
I've not been south of Inverness for 5 years, and i've only been there 3 times.
What a sad life I live.

80mph? If the limit rose with technology of cars it would be 150mph. Kind of pointless now I think. I use motorways a lot and in the last 5 years the traffic has slowed considerably. We won't have any fuel soon and we'll all be driving milk floats anyway.

And Tonky, you are a paranoid nutter! :cool:
