Bring Van Speed Limits in Line with Passenger Cars
We urge the Government to raise Light Goods Vehicle (LGV) speed limits (up to 4t GVW) to match cars. We think 50mph (single carriage) and 60mph (dual carriageway) limits are outdated ignoring modern vehicle safety, efficiency, and today’s economic needs potentially unfairly penalising our workforce.

Increase dual carriage and motorway speed limit to 80mph
We want the Government to increase the speed limit on dual carriage and motorway to 80 MPH.
Remove speed limits on motorways
We think it's about time the motorway speed limit was removed. Cars are safer than they used to be. We believe that driving at high speed is safer as you look at the road ahead far more.
Reduce national speed limits on single carriageways
Reduce the national speed limit on single carriageways usually found in rural areas from 60mph to 30mph.
Ban 20mph speed limits with limited exceptions
We believe anti car sentiment has become rife and 20mph speed limits are becoming commonplace in many towns and villages which just slows traffic and causes more congestion. There should be a national policy so 20mph limits are only used as the exception, e.g outside schools.
Change speeding penalties to 1point for up to 25MPH on a 20MPH road
Drivers are currently penalised 3 points for travelling at up to 24mph in 20mph areas. This action is disproportionate. The current penalty treats these drivers the same as other drivers who speed at excessively dangerous limits.
