Is the fun about to be taken away?

There is a long way to go before it is actually passed as law. My reading is that the ruling party has agreed to a ban but the various law making houses haven't.

Political lobbying may make sure it doesnt go though

Does it really matter? :p

As long as they don't electronically limit how fast your car can go, the fun will always be there :D

Was just about to post the same.

Apparently France and Belgium also have limits, anyone know if there`s any truth to this ?..........Or is it all a sham to try and slow Doc Matt and Raj down. :D

As soon as I cross the border, I don't speak french or german so obviously I don't understand road signs etc :D

Even if I lose my British license, I always carry my Malaysian international license as spare :D

I agree with Nick.

On a bike trip down to Bordeaux last year, we ignored every speed limit in France. FFS the main toll roads were dead, it would have been rude (and monotonous) not to... :D

Unless they've upped their speed limits to 160+ :confused: :p :D ;)

Same here... I'll start chatting in Punjabi (of course that's only if they can keep up with me and Matt)...:p
