Change to speed limits - 60mph > 50mph
 

If any of you haven't already seen this i'm sure it will make your day...

Quite frankly to say i was seething would be an understatement.

Oh that's just great! So we will spend more time on the road because of it so giving us more chances to cull a few more people!

What a nanny state we are. We ought to raise the speed limit through the areas which are densely populated with immigrants! That'll even things up more!

Well flipping fantastic:mad:

I was saying over on the ZR site, 10 years driving and i've never been one to stick to speed limits yet only 2 times (that i can remember) have i had a bump. Both times were <10mph (1 - guy reversed into me going into an entry; 2 - caught car on the side of house reversing) too!

IMO speed does not kill. Driver stupidity and taking stupid decisions does. The number of times i have seen drivers passing on blind crests, blind corners, etc even in the last 6 months is ridiculous. And it's not always young drivers that do it... van drivers are worst of the lot.

well how many people will drive the new limit i have problems driving the limit at the moment

They should increase the Motorway limit to 80...

Everyone... Because of the Average Speed Cameras

If you don't then you get points and a fine. Simple as.

Hmm, I would have thought if you get hit by a car going 50mph (or have a collision, hit a tree or what have you) then youre just as likely to have serious/fatal injuries as if you were doing 60mph...

Oh well, gives an easy opportunity for the next prime minister to get elected, s/he just has to promise to undo this farse!

Hopefully they wont put these cameras in my area though, or if they do I'll just start taking back roads to avoid one of the two cameras in each set!

Would you not say that comment is at best xenophobic and at the worst racist? I'm married to an immigrant and find that kind of opinion best left in your head.
