Of the 19 answers above this one, 6 people got it wrong (those who said 60mph, or God forbid, 50mph!).
That means that 33% of car owners genuinely don't know what the National Speed Limit is - assuming those 6 people are actually drivers, of course.
Is it any wonder there is so much congestion on the roads, with a third of all car owners vacantly bimbling along, with no idea of the speed limit??
In case anyone is still unsure, the National Speed Limit for cars and motorcycles is:
Single carriageway - 60mph
Dual carriageway - 70mph
Motorway - 70mph
(See below for proof)

The national speed limit on an unrestricted duel carriageway is 70mph. I wonder how many people realise when you pass your test and you sign the form at the end you are agreeing to keep up to date with all and every new driving regulation and should read the highway code regularly

Where there is no street lighting, the default limit is 60 mph for single-carriageway and 70 mph for dual carriageway roads. This is referred to as the "National Speed Limit" (NSL), and entry to these zones is marked by the familiar "derestriction" sign with a diagonal black stripe on a white background. Repeater signs are not normally used but are not specifically prohibited.

It's 70 mph for cars on unrestricted dual carriageways & motorways.
READ THE HIGHWAY CODE!!!
There are a LOT of people who really have no clue...and they probably all have licences...

If you are driving a car & not towing anything it is 70 mph. If you are towing a caravan or trailer, driving a bus not exceeding 12m or goods vehicle not exceeding 7.5 tonnes then the limit is 60 mph. If you are driving a goods vehicle exceeding 7.5 tonnes the speed limit is 50 mph.
