The researchers identify other health-related reasons for keeping the current limit, including the increase of gas emissions, air pollution and a potential rise in obesity due to more people taking advantage of shorter car journeys.
Money well spent on that research then - a journey is not shorter if you travel faster FFS!!
The only thing that could be considered to be shorter is the overall duration of a journey, which if you think about it can only be BETTER for obesity as you wont be sat on your fat arse so long.
Pointless even 'researching' this anyway - everyone already drives at 80mph + now.
Idiots.
Quite how Tropical Medicine is somehow relevant to motorway speed limits I really dont know.
