Speeding Poles

From 31st December a new law comes into force which will allow Polish motorists to drive 10km/h faster on motorways and express ways.  The new limits mean that on motorways drivers can speed up to 140 km/h, with express ways obtaining a speed limit of 120 km/h.

However, the new law also envisages that when clocking speeding motorists, police have to take into account driver error of 10 km/h, meaning drivers across Poland can in reality race up to 150 km/h on motorways and 130 km/h on express ways.

The limits will become the highest in the European Union- although German motorways technically have no speed limit, with a “recommended” limit of 130 km/h.

And in England speed limits haven't been looked at in decades.  Go Britain...
