UK: Calls for ban on Sunday driving and motorway speed limits as oil prices rise

Fuel and oil prices are rising rapidly

Newsroom March 23 08:02

A ban on Sunday driving and reducing the motorway speed limit are among suggestions being put forward by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The IEA has set out 10 measures that could help cut global oil demand by 2.7 million barrels per day in just four months.

It calls for a reduction in speed limits on motorways by 6mph to 64mph.

It also suggests car-free Sundays in big cities.
