As a start, 70 mph limiter would be easy to fit and would cure the high speed merchants.
During my company's presence at the Southampton Boat Show, I commuted along the A31. I guess that at 70 mph I passed 0.01% of others on the road. The remainder passed me at differential speeds up to 30-40 mph. Why are these speeds necessary?
The impact on the German car industry would be interesting!
