Most states in the US just increased from 75mph to 80mph, we don't care about emissions

Drove down one last year. It was great. Two perfect lanes, completely straight for about 40 miles and quite literally no other cars for half an hour or so. Tell me where you can get a motorway like that in the UK.

Also a 1.0 eco mobile (Company car), Seat Leon 1.0 EcoTsi. (and yes it did 216km/h on GPS, 225km/h on dash, takes a whole century to get there, and I have to drive in 5 as in 6th gear it won't go faster than 203 km/h on the meter)

Also 100 mph in a new Fiesta is no problem, feels much safer than in my 1993 Corolla (which still does 120mph) which sounds like it's about to fall apart at that speed...
Ford transit is a **** to get up to 100mph yes, though downhill slipstream after some fast car, might be doable
Regardless, 90 mph at least is no problem for any car on the market I think? Some underpowered vans might struggle, but I don't really see the problem with more variation in speed. Simply respect the rules/right of way and keep to the left unless overtaking, and there's no problem.

That's because the jazz is designed for doddering oops that never go above 25 mph
well the Jazz handles 70mph in the New Forest easily..........but is a total nightmare at 90mph on a motorway, she is far too light and is buffeted by crosswinds..............i cant even begin to tell you how frightening she is......she wont track straight, she veers suddenly from left to right......the engine is as strong as a rock; it'll handle 90mph easily........ it's her light rear end and the high centre of mavity, SHE'S SO UNSTABLE at speed.............

Fixed that for you
I disagree, if public transport were easier/cheaper/quicker than driving then of course it would be an option, however commuting into a city centre during office hours aside, the vast majority of the time it is none of the above.
For short journeys, it's almost always quicker (and infinitely more convenient) to drive (or even walk/ride a bike).
For long journeys, the train may be a bit quicker, but unless there's just one of you travelling and you book far in advance, the cost will be many multiples of what it would cost in fuel/wear and tear if you drove.
It would cost me almost 3 times as much to take the train, and take an extra hour each way.
It would also cost me a lot more in childcare due to needing a childminder before and after school because of the extra travel time.
And before you say "well you should have considered that when you moved", I did. We bought our house where we did because it was a couple of miles from work - 10 mins on the bike. However life changes, and I ended moving job. Are you suggesting people should spend thousands moving house every time they get a new job?
