not at all since it was introduced thanks to the government being dicks not increasing it on motorways as the ability of cars increased.
I believe the maximum speed limit is 55 MPH. I haven't been there in several years, so it may have changed since then.
In the 1970's the speed limit was lowered as a national recommendation in the belief that the higher speeds caused excess gasoline consumption.
new Britain has been changed over the past 100 years.Like the speed limit people get into so many accident in the past and in the present so they keep adjusting the speed limit according to what they see in drivers.
hmm, maybe better roads and engine technology.
== == There have been so many crashes in the last 100 years so the speed limit has changed to accomodate this and reduce the crashes on British roads
There have been changes to the speed limits in Britain for several reasons. The amount of cars on the road (which has increased dramatically), the age limit for driving which has changed because cars are cheaper and younger people can afford them and the types of cars that are on the road e.g 4X4, Vans, lorries, Super cars and standard cars. Cars have been developed more and more over the last hundred years which means they can go faster and faster due to better fuel consumption and fuel usage
Speed limits for cars in Great Britain have changed over the last hundred years due to improvements in road infrastructure and technology, advances in vehicle safety features, and government initiatives to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities. Additionally, changes in societal attitudes towards road safety and environmental concerns have also influenced speed limit adjustments.
There use to be no speed limit on motorways in UK, as more and more people bought cars, and cars could go faster and faster. There were growing accidents on the roads, many of which were fatal due to the cars of the time not being built for safety. A growing number of super cars were also being built which could exceed 150 mph and sports car makers were testing them on the motorways of UK. The government was not comfortable with the speeds of these cars, so they introduced a national speed limit of 70 mph in 1965 while they considered their options. A few years later it was concluded that the 70 mph limit had lowered serious accidents, and it was then made permanent.
your kidding me right
The Olympics have changed through the past hundred years majorly by having added new sports to it and allowing women to participate. They have also added the Special Olympics.
Perhaps, the changing(increasing) number of population which most likely results to increase in the demand for transportation and therefore to the change it speed limits to regulate traffic and safety of commuters and drivers.
Always Paris never changed even in the hundred years war
