Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

In a recent interview, transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin appeared to suggest that he wasn’t as keen on increasing motorway speed limits for cars and light vans to 80mph as his predecessor. However, the DfT says it is still considering the move and intends to consult the public on its proposals this year. “The DfT is working on an impact assessment of an 80mph speed limit on sections of the motorway network with variable speed limits, and considering the criteria for where and under what conditions the 80mph speed limit might be applied,” says a spokeswoman. “We are aiming to consult on this later in the year alongside the broader work on a roads strategy.”
