crazymac:
I don't drive more than 50 on the roads round here, but that is not the point!!!

WHY do they think this is a good idea?? and WHY do I have to pay for more legislation that annoys me??

Wunch of Bankers :afro:

EDIT: Just read some of the links, and its the usual knee jerk reaction to a situation.

They reckon that New research by the Department for Transport has found that reducing the speed limit could save 200-250 lives a year and also reduce carbon emissions

So that by reducing the limit suddely the idiots that cause these crashes are going to slow down?? You canbet that they were no where near the speed limit when they caused these accidents in the 1st place!!!

But they go on to say this

Ministers plan to use average speed cameras, which monitor speeds over distances of up to six miles, to help enforce the new limit. The cameras have already been installed at 43 locations. The Home Office is expected to approve their wider use later this year

And so we come to the REAL reason!!
