Letter: Don't pander to speed freaks

OPPONENTS of a higher speed limit should remember that the 70mph limit was not introduced for the purposes of road safety but in response to the Opec oil crises.Of far greater danger on motorways is the inability of motorists to slow down at a hazard due to the proverbial articulated lorry15ft behind one's back bumper. Where are the police then?
