    you've missed the point. and your comment about physics is a little wide of the mark. In a text book you are correct, but we don't live in a world of constant acceleration rates and constant velocities. We live in a world where speeding up and slowing down burns considerably more fuel that travelling at a constant speed.

      I was commenting on the spraff that you write, which is generally poorly thought on nonsense.

        It makes no sense to change road speeds for that reason, yet they've just done it?

        If they get away with this it will be let's think of the next stupidest thing we can and implement it, we can do what we want.
        You need to relax , deep breaths and have a long lie down in a dark room as you are posting utter shite now.

          ok, well you also do more speeding up and slowing down at 30 than you do at 20

              that'll be a really efficient use of the engine.

                Why would I do that? I enjoy reading your posts, its good comedy reading on a dull day like today.

                  Crashes into us
                  To die by your side
                  Is such a heavenly way to die
                  can you please refrain from posting lyrics from that utter fascist pr1ck

                      That's why they did it?

                      Slow Wales down because more damage is done at more than 20mph, exactly its a flawed argument.

                          Think of the very cautious drivers at junctions and how not being able to go above 20mph will impact there ability to keep the traffic flowing.

                            People will get hit crossing the roads as well assuming they'll have plenty of time and miss judge because 80% won't be obeying the limit most of the time, it's just added another layer of confusion and frustration to the roads.

                              surely it'll be a slower motion version of 30. So the cautious drivers should love that

                                knowing you cannot exceed 20mph means you can't accelerate as fast as you did previously. This adds to the time taken for the cautious drivers as the gap between cars that they require will become even larger.

                                RJK conveniently ignored by earlier comment. Being hit by bus or lorry at 20mph and you're dead. Are we slowing these vehicles down to 5 mph or is the safety aspect just a smokescreeen?
