The road safety minister has been quoted saying that raising the limit to 80mph on motorways is still firmly on the government’s current agenda. There is set to be three trails of the change in raising the speed limit in certain areas across the country, if the results are successful the change could be rolled out across the country. He also said that the trails are likely to take place in 2014 and said “my message, though, is that it [speed limit increase] has not been lost. Our philosophy is that we should have the right speed on the right road”.
The talk of a speed increase has come as many feel it would be more beneficial to both traffic and safety, the question that’s arising is why is such a change taking such a long time? The government constantly changes the speed in rural areas mostly in the form of reduction but they claim it’s a much more complex process to increase the speed as it’s a more dangerous thing to do, however this contradicts what they are saying about 80mph being less dangerous than say 50mph.
They realise that many people at the current speed limit still drive at 80mph despite the limit being 70 however they worry that if the limit was to increase to 80mph if people would drive at 90mph which could be a danger. This has seen controversy with many split opinions on whether the change is a good or bad thing for the safety of drivers some believe it would be more dangerous and worse for the environment but then some believe it’s a safer alternative than blanket rising which could cause several deaths and countless accidents, what’s your opinion on the subject? Will an increase be good or bad? We are yet to see.

When renting a car you could be doing your bit for the environment or at least research seems to suggest so. When people come to hire cars it promotes more sustainable travel habits, its claimed that renting enables people to own fewer cars or just avoid car ownership all together as it can be a most cost effective way if you aren’t a regular car user, when you have your own car you tend to use it less efficiently and make trips that you could avoid or seek an alternative transport eg public transport or walking to the shop where if you had a car then you would use it.
