Strictly speaking there isn't a 'fast' lane on motorways, although there are 'overtaking' lanes

Stating the obvious probably, but

(1) round my local (rural) neck of the woods, all cars are driven at 40mph in the 60 limits, and then 40mph in 30s, and then 40mph past the local school 20 zone. Except a straight downhill bit which is a 40 due to a blind crest and lots of people getting killed, where of course they all do 65 and pass each other.

(2) The limits aren't really policed any more by many forces, including ours, since they've fired all the traffic officers to allow them to pay civilian staff to ensure the police are filling out every form in quadruplicate instead of catching crims. You only ever see them on the largest A-roads, a/k/a motorway lite.

So a 50 limit wouldn't make a blind bit of difference, other than encouraging the hysterical forces of BRAKE.
