In 2013, the transport secretary plans to raise the limit to 80mph.

This is partly because 49% of people break the speed limit as it is now.

It is his fault, end of.



If he were doing 90+ he'd have overtaken the lorry before it happened, next time speed the f#ck up. I hate driving next to lorries and will overtake them as quickly and safely as possible.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Cheers for the sensible replies guys.

Sean, pop down, we'll take a run up the A20. I'll do 60mph in the inside lane, you go in the outside and when you're about 10m away or so I'll throw something very heavy out the side of the car. You can watch it and try and avoid it. Nowhere to go other then the inside lane which will stick you in to the back of my car. Baring in mind it's dark. I'm not Vin Diesel and I don't like the tuna.


Yep reported and trying to get CCTV.


Windscreen coming tomorrow at 85 quid, got wiper arms, bonnet catch and a scuttle n grill, just need a bonnet and hinges.

Regardless of the speed you where travelling at, it is an absolute offence for an unsecured load on a vehicle (i.e there is no excuse). Both the driver and the operator of that vehicle are liable to prosecution for that mate!

To quote the law:
it is an offence under the road traffic act 1988 to use a vehicle or cause permit for it to be used, when the position or distribution of its load means there is a danger of injury to any person. This carries a maximum fine of £5000 together with obligatory licence endorsement and discretionary disqualification.

Big trouble basically!!
