20mph online petition

Re: 20mph online petition

It is “up to “ according to the speed awareness course that a friend attended last year

I am not disagreeing with the definition of a speed limit, I am saying that many drivers will drive to or just above the limit for the road that they are on. Very few speed cameras are set at exactly 30mph, they are usually set at 33 or above to allow for margin of error in the accuracy of the speedo on the car. Drivers take this into account when setting their road speed.

Re: 20mph online petition

The speed limit driving over the Rhygos is 40 mph and that’s the speed I stay at. Even though it’s about six in the morning when I make my journey, I get overtaken by four or fives cars every time even though I’m close to breaking the speed limit myself. Unbelievably, I was overtaken while driving 20 mph in a 20 mph zone which had a speed camera last Monday.

I did beep and do the

Re: 20mph online petition

There was a March in Cardiff today. Apparently 200 turned up.

Really needed it to be in the 1000s.

For some bizarre reason they were outside the museum.

Needs far better organisation, did anyone even know about it? Wait until everyone’s points start to mount up in a few months, then have a proper one….start in town finish some random street in Pontcanna….

Do points impact upon car insurance? I've never had any 😇

Re: 20mph online petition

I can only reiterate what I’ve previously written. When they changed the limits to 30kmh where I lived in Poland, the result introduced more danger, with people overtaking slower traffic. It only improved when speed bumps were introduced.

Re: 20mph online petition

Most people cant be arsed - and just ignore the limit - from what I have seen this week. And the time I do see car doing 20 there is a queue behind it.

Re: 20mph online petition

So this unnecessary change of speed limit is a good use of public money is it sludge?

This is more important than social care the NHS or any other services in Wales is it?

No I think the 20 mph policy is utter bollocks

You’ve never had car insurance? You must have saved yourself a fortune.

You're right. If it has any effect, and there's a while before an election so people may well have forgotten by then, then it's more likely to result in a reduced turnout. People won't vote tory but they will abstain.

Or maybe vote indy. I used to live in Blaenau Gwent which is in the Guinness Book of Records for the biggest majority in any UK election. Labour blotted its copy book a few years ago and an independent MP and AM were elected.

Others will no doubt disagree but Welsh Labour have a habit of introducing ill thought out policies so there's every chance they'll **** up again before the next election.

The labour party represent so many people yet they are shambolic locally and UK wide

We need a fresh start , I have to force myself to vote for them at times

Re: 20mph online petition

Yesterday there was a serious crash in Swansea and two youngsters were seriously injured. According to Walesonline, one young driver has been charged with dangerous driving. It seems that many accidents where someone is seriously injured has involved dangerous driving. Most accidents where young people are seriously injured involve young drivers.

Let's face it - 20mph speed limits aren't going to stop idiot driving like it or youngsters taking risks their inexperience cannot evaluate.
