Quite right.
Also, you aren't allowed to drive at night without lights, so all cars should disable themselves at dusk.
And you aren't allowed to sound a horn at night in a built-up area after 11pm, so all horns should be removed from all cars.
And you aren't allowed to lie about income tax, so nobody should receive any income.
And you aren't allowed to shoplift, so all shops should be closed down.
And you aren't allowed to install a CU without notifying, so no CU should be sold without the vendor seeing the LABC notice.
And you aren't allowed to stab people, so no knifes should be sold to anyone. Ever.
And you aren't allowed to work on a qas appliance if you're not an RGI, so all gas appliances should be scrapped.
But there's no law against being a martyr to stupidity.

Hey Softus. Go and sleep it off mate.
Smaller engines that are speed limited would use less fuel. The more fuel we use - the sooner the massive price hikes will return. It's like having your central heating on and leaving the windows open - it's just a waste of energy.
You don't have an industrial size freezer in your house, or a commercial sized washing machine. Do you dig your garden with a JCB? Or have an escalator to go upstairs? Then why do you need a car with a 3 litre engine that uses fuel like a silly yank?

You're not wrong, but it isn't that simple with vehicle engines.
There's a relationship between engine size, power output, and fuel efficiency.
Generally, the more power expended, the more fuel used, but there are situations where power is needed, e.g. haulage, and Getting Out Of Trouble.
Of course, the latter wouldn't be as necessary if all vehicle top speeds were reduced, but I don't know how you'd go about confiscating all the powerful cars that exist in the country.
Morbikes, FYI, are not big fuel guzzlers, relative to the speed they do. Mine would easily achieve 40mpg at a constant speed of 120mph, for example. More when gentle and/or going slower.
I'll thank you to leave my silly yanks out of this.
However, the car I use for lugging stuff around is quite heavy on fuel, but if it were less powerful then I wouldn't keep up with the 1.1 Fiestas, and going slower than other traffic is a safety problem.
And we stop far quicker and cause 9x less damage in an accident than a car as well, of course

But if you wish to transport 4 other people from a to b and back, lets say a round trip of ten miles. You would need to make 4 trips travelling 40 miles, whereas a car could do it in one trip, i.e. ten miles and a lot faster.
Er, it's actually 35 miles in total.
He's not you know....I said "and back"
Take the first person from a to b and back - 10 miles. ditto for the second third and fourth, equals 40 miles.
If you wanted them all to be at point b at the same time before bringing them back, you would need to do 70 miles I reckon.
Your last trip with #4 will only be five miles, otherwise the other four will be there and you will be back at the start. Which presumably would not be the intention, unless you were trying to isolate the other half of at least one of them for a bout of owzyerfavver
