UK Weighs 50 mph Speed Limit Amid Diesel Price Surge

Rising diesel prices, driven by the US-Iran conflict, have sparked debate over a contingency plan from the UK's National Emergency Plan for Fuel that could impose a temporary 50 mph speed limit to cut consumption.

The Royal Automobile Club called the surge 'uncharted territory,' with family car fill-ups now averaging £110. Government officials insist no restrictions are in place, emphasizing the fuel supply's resilience, while online voices question energy policies and mock reverting to 'Victorian-era' speeds.
