Mr Davies notes that between 1994 and 2004 the power of new cars went up by 28%, making them a lot heavier, and so increasing the amount of CO2 they put out, even though no country raised its speed limit to allow cars to use this increased power.

The reason they are heavier is because of all the extra safety stuff they have now! Thing is, how many car's can't go over 100 these days; ignoring supermini's with lawnmower engines in?
My almighty (1.6
) Astra does it no problem, and it not exactly a fast car in a straight line.
Politicians live in their own little world, how can you enforce the same speed limit on the same road for a big lorry and a performance car with big brakes and fat tires
