Silly speed limits

Then do acknowledge that you are one of the 10%ish who don't. Pardon me for making the buttumption, but hey, I was 90% certain you did. I did use the word 'chances.'

And many people really couldn't give a damnation when they do it, it seems. Or they don't notice at all.

But presumably recognition goes out the window on long slip roads.

If you were like almost everyone else, then your statement could have been construed as 'Your evil to do 80mph, but I'm within my rights to do 35mph' which would appear to be the opinion of a surprising number of people.

I was meaning difference of +10mph, not 10mph (ie 80mph).

Er, yes, it does! It depends on conditions, weather, traffic and shape of the road, all of which should be easily determinable from some distance away. Or is your behaviour on the road not subject to those variables?

To deilver you from one M clbutt road to another road. Missing your point though. If you mean the junction-merge at the end, then yes, you need to worry about that. But the word 'long' kinda implied some distance between yourself and it!

It's the 'It's Illegal' bandwagon is so irritating though. When you were a kid, did your dad say 'that's illegal' when you copied a tape? No. Why? Because it's irrelevant. Ditto with this situation. As such I got the impression you were in some way offended by driving at 80mph on a slip road (which may or may not be safe, depending on circumstances described elsewhere). That offends me (buttuming you're part of the 90% crowd.)

Also, imo, yes, the speed limit on Mways should be raised. And for crying out loud, would someone devise a serious driving test, as opposed to the farce we have atm?
