From the 6th April - wonder what difference it will really make considering so many disregard the existing limits. (Although there is one company around here which is notable for actually adhering to them). |

It will make no difference. Cars will still overtake. The only way this would have been workable was to have a blanket 50mph limit on all single lane roads for all types of traffic, and enforce it. I can say also that I have been overtaken countless times even when doing 60mph in my 110, the fact is that psychologically people do not like being behind a vehicle they can't see past/over, so they want to pass. Why they don't just slow down and keep a distance is beyond my understanding. 2011 110 USW
