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.

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.
Bus speeding in residential area with 30 mph limit
A bus service regularly travels at speeds considerably exceeding the 30 mph speed limit in a residential zone.
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.
Reduce national speed limits on single carriageways
Reduce the national speed limit on single carriageways usually found in rural areas from 60mph to 30mph.
Introduce a progressive system of penalties for speeding offences in 20mph zones
We call on the Government to amend sentencing laws and reduce the minimum penalties for speeding in 20mph zones, so that a first offence between 20-25 mph only results in 1 point, a second leads to 2 points, and a third leads to 3 points.
