Proposals to ban Sunday driving and cut motorway speed to 64mph limit to save oil

An organisation working with the UK Government to advise on climate policy has suggested banning Sunday driving in cities and cutting the speed limit on motorways to reduce reliance on oil in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine and high prices.

The ideas are among 10 measures proposed by the International Energy Agency (IEA) to cut global oil demand by 2.7m barrels a day in four months.

The IEA advises member states on energy policy. Its 31 member states include the UK, Ireland, the USA and much of the EU.
