For all of you who are not aware, the UK government currently has proposals to reduce the national speed limit from 60mph to 50mph on single carriageway rural roads.
The proposal to lower the speed limit has been put forward on the grounds of safety, and is seen by some sections of government as a cheap way of reducing road accidents.
This is because it can be achieved at little cost by simply redefining the black diagonal on white circle sign on single carriageways to mean 50mph instead of 60mph.
However, the Association of British Drivers (ABD) set up a petition against the proposals on Downing Street's website.
If you do not wish this to happen please sign up to the petition:
