Mate of mine recently did a speed awareness course, 24mph in a 20 zone.

Yes great policy isn't it

Stupid handheld speed camera's are everywhere, Wait till 17th September and everyone is affected, hopefully, there is a big backlash.

I must admit, I thought the total would be going up much faster than it actually is. I've been checking, about 150 signatures a day is the average, which is not that much. Is it that people don't know about the petition, or that they don't care, or perhaps that they don't think it will make any difference what they vote?

I thought it sounded like a daft policy if it was a blanket drop to 20mph from 30mph but it's only on selected roads.

Hardly make any difference.

Apart from to the old knobheads who like to complain about everything.

Presumably the point you are making is that 1966 was the year that the highest number of road fatalities in the UK was recorded and as a result of speed restrictions they are lower by a factor of 5 times?

No it actually it wasn’t ( more that fact that people complained of change even then) but I’m sure the speed limit alone wasn’t the only factor in those record numbers either , more likely drink driving , cars which were much less safer than today and the fact that in 1967 car ownership had increased almost 50% from the start of the 1960’s in addition to the two point seatbelt being introduced.

So in summary, an array of measures were introduced that people complained about that significantly improved road safety?

I’m sure you can make your own conclusions.

There's been a change of plan, according to ITV Wales...

Re: Petition against 20mph blanket speed limit

When I went a speed awareness course, the only thing I learned was where theres no speed limit signs, and street lights are present.,the default speed limit is 30mph.
I presume now the default speed limit is 20 mph.
