Although of course today most folks drive around on weak-as-pish cooking lager like Tennents, as opposed to the sherry-induced heavy you got from Diggers for example, or good skunk which enhances your concentration as opposed to the opioid tinctures they were all into back yonder. No amount of discussion is going to convince me that the speed limits were there to protect folks like Mags in his Bentley 8 litre, or even Lewis in his Bedford Beagle
because they were oot their tits but rather because of the limits on the technology.
