The author of this article sounds like such a bore. All this means is when we are driving 90 we will only be 10 mph over the limit and not 20!!
All motorways should be a minimum of four lanes. Get bloody fed up of the last HGV pulling out to overtake the half dozen infront and tying up lanes one and two for about half an hour. Gearboxes can be altered so that 5th or 6th gear is the most economical at 75mph.
