Another announced that the speed limit on a dual carriage is
60MPH!

It usually is.

It's not.

Read the other posts before replying.

It's still not usually 60mph.

Most single carriageways are 60.

Single carriageways without a lower limit posted are 60mph. Round here
they are generally 50mph or even 40mph - but that's Surrey Highways
for
you.

It's more countrysideish round here, so most don't have lower limits
until you're in a built up area. Or roadworks. We mustn't endanger all
those traffic cones after all.

Here, it's the countryside - narrow lanes, etc, - that have the lower
limits

How odd. I've never seen a lane with a limit on it, and always thought it
crazy that you could go faster on a narrow road with blind bends than in a
built up area on a straight with excellent visibility.

speed limits aren't there to teach you to dive

there're there to stop you annoying the neighbours
