Richard,

I have some sympathy with your views, but I don't really see why classic car owners (and I'm assuming you mean 25 year old cars rather than 2!) should be treated differently to any other car owners really. I was surprised when Ken Clarke introduced the policy originally, even though I benefited from it at the time.

I'm also not convinced by the "everyone ignores it anyway" excuse for speeding either. There's probably room for increasing some speed limits (and reducing others), but ignoring limits just because you think it's OK is a bad idea IMHO.

Anyway, like I said earlier, fairly trivial points in the grand scheme of things...

Pete
