Besides, doing 80mph isn't significantly over the 70mph limit and thats the speed limit proposal. Doing 120mph is downright taking the piss and doing almost double the speed limit. Its completely different. If you use your common sense and keep aware of whats going on around you when you're driving at high speeds (within reason) then you'll be fine.
If you say so .....

Let me know what you think when you've driven for another 5 years .....
