Should the UK motorway speed limit be raised?

1.2 litre is rapid these days.

So if you want to keep them out of "faster" cars, you would need to lower it under 1.0 at least.

Anything under a 1.2 is like driving a go kart for the yoof of today.

I’ve had more issues with pensioners than on country lanes driving to slow than younger folk driving faster.

I would ban caravans and mobile homes. Utter menaces.

BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Vauxhall and Toyota drivers should have a box fitted to their person which zaps them for each knob move they pull on the roads.

Totalitarianism applied to road use is the only way to keep us all safe my friends.

Always used to be BMW drivers who were the unchallenged douchebags of the roads, but in the last decade or so it appears the Audi drivers have become fiercely competitive in that regard. In fact, I reckon they're top dogs now when it comes to aggressive driving.

There's a not particularly great cross roads near where I live. Visibility isn't great and the lights are not the best, but there is a logic. Very busy urban junction.

It's a regular accident blackspot, at least once every two months. Always a Mercedes involved. Always. Usually trying to blast out before the little green arrow indicates you can go on the lights. And hitting an oncoming car they can't see due to queuing cars in the right turn lane coming the other way (waiting for their green arrow).
