Remove speed cameras from motorways to improve safety and fairness
We want the Government to remove speed cameras from motorways in England. There is strong evidence that they distract drivers, cause sudden braking and confusion when limits change, and increase accident risk. The focus should be on education and clear, consistent speed limits instead.

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.
Mandate use of motorway cameras and technology to catch lane hoggers
The Government must ensure that cameras, sensors etc on motorways are used effectively to catch lane hoggers in the same way they are used to catch people who speed.
Introduce penalties for motorway middle lane hoggers & decriminalise undertaking
Stricter rules for middle lane hoggers (driver awareness courses, fines and points for repeat offenders). Zero punishment or penalties for undertaking on the motorway if there’s a middle lane hogger.
Reinstate the hard shoulder on all smart motorways.
Since smart motorways have done away with the hard shoulder, people have lost their lives in collisions resulting from being stranded with nowhere to go. Safety bays are no use if your car suddenly cuts out or has a tyre blow out.
