The current 70mph limit, established decades ago, is being challenged as no longer suitable for modern vehicles and road conditions. Rupert Lowe, leader of Restore Britain and MP for Great Yarmouth, argues that the 70mph speed limit is unnecessarily restrictive. “It is holding back enterprise and costing hardworking taxpayers valuable time on the roads,” Lowe said.
