Ms Truss told Nick Ferrari at the twelfth, and final, leadership hustings on Wednesday, that she was “prepared to look at” introducing a German-style system of motorways with no speed limits.
She also pledged to ban smart motorways, telling Conservative party members that where they have been found to be unsafe, we need “to review them and stop them as soon as possible”. “I do believe the smart motorway experiment hasn’t worked," she told LBC presenter Nick Ferrari, live at tonight's hustings at Wembley Arena.In Germany, most autobahns have no speed limit, but drivers face increased liability if they are involved in a crash while travelling at very high speeds.
Ms Truss said she would work to end smart motorways, which have been paused in the UK because of safety concerns.
What a stupid and wreckless thing to say
Media again causing mayhem listen to what she has said
That should kill a few more people off. I am sure that is her plan so she doesn't have to help so many people
That’s be great
Yes let's make congestion worse. Humans are not capable of controlling themselves. She is a scary unthinking lady.
It's only a few hundred more dead people a year.... they probably see it as a perverse saving of sorts 🤦♂️
What the fuck does this mean?
Brilliant, we can all fuck off quicker.
I'll have to listen again to my recording of the twelfth husting with Liz Truss and Nick Ferrari and the suggestion that she would scrap speed limits on motorways as I can't remember hearing any such suggestion.
She lies about anything.
