A new right-wing government will raise the national speed limit to 130 kph, the Telegraaf reports on Wednesday.

The paper says the increase, from the current 120 kph, is already included in the draft coalition accord being drawn up by the Christian Democrats, anti-Islam PVV and right wing VVD Liberals.

As if you have wide enough roads or quality cars on them.

About time! Getting from point A to B will take shorter travelling time, since the speed limit applies only to motorways, and consequently reduce number of cars on the road, less frustration and more productivity.
