No. I've edged up to 100 before without realising, tends to be on straight and empty roads, but I'll never go out of my comfort zone or drive at a speed where I'll be out of control. I'd probably stick around 85.

I'd guess that if the speed limit does go up, they're going to crack down on speeding a lot more than they currently do. The official leeway puts the current absolute maximum at 77mph but you don't really get prosecuted for anything under 82/83. They won't be willing to let people go over 88mph.
