The bin men left our bins for two weeks once
they overflowed, stank, and attracted flies and foxes, so this is good news.

80 is fine, cars are faster and safer than they were when the limit was introduced. however maybe it would be pertinent to ensure people had to pass an extra test if they wish to use it. really i'd rather see them HEAVILY penalise middle lane drivers, this would help traffic flow far better.

The laws of physics still apply to new cars though
and the weakest point is always the driver making an error.

So a new car, which is heavier than an old car, has a lot more kinetic energy and is therefore more dangerous when spinning out of control.

Well crumple zones for example divert impact force for both the car and whatever it's hitting.
I think that 80mph on motorways is fine. Road deaths are getting too low anyway, lets get it back to 80s levels.

The world needs more Darwinism

The better option would be to get rid of all the scared and wimpy drivers out there
they are the real dangers
