Well said smile


Drivers must think.
Blindly following road signs reduces the need to think and in my view takes away responsibility from drivers.

I stick to 20 and 30 mph limits everywhere, 100% No deviation at all.
I stick to 40 mph limits in urban areas, mostly.
Observing speed limits is what cruse control is for.....

I have a problem understanding why country roads where previously the national limit applied now have 40mph and 50mph limits. Wiltshire Council has reduced speed limits on miles of roads. An examination of public data here in Wiltshire showed that in all cases where the limits have been reduced there is no history of accidents. So why are they there?

All they serve to do is frustrate and encourage lack of respect for limits that matter.

They exist like EU regulations to be conformed to for the benefit of the lowest common denominator, possibly France as far as EU goes.
