Call it a mass over generalisation, but I would say that the roads in Britain are a damn sight more dangerous than the roads in the US. As I said, it could be a mass generalisation, but the majority of roads in the US appear to be largely very striaght and wide, the only roads like that in the UK are the motorways, were accident rates are generally low anyway.
Raising the speed limits on such roads will not have much effect I will agree, but I just can't see it working here.
In addition, if they raised the limits and less people would caught speeding, they wuold make less revenue on the cameras. And why would they do that eh?
I cannot realistically see any speed limits being raised in Britain in the near future. Everything is dropping to 40mph rural and 20mph urban now.
Peroanlly I think they are largely wrong and I drive according to the conditions. Lucky I have a speed camera proof car then!
