I just tweeted some clown who said 20 mph was a good thing because it reduced the risk of accidents - I said fair enough, let's reduce the max speed to 5 mph then

This 20mph limit might well swell the confers at Cardiff bay

I don’t understand how the speed limit could affect the size of trees in Cardiff

It's a money tree

You won't save fuel as driving at 20mph you need to be in a lower gear,hence more pollution as you will be using more fuel.

Re: Speed limit to be lowered to 20mph in Wales

Had my first experience of the 20 today. Magor to Portskewett.

I stuck to 20 in all the 20 spots which is about 75% of the five mile journey. I had three cars overtake me and one w4nker sign off a brand new 22 plate Range Rover driver

On the return journey I had two vans overtake me but no w4nker signs

My truck struggled to stay at 20 and my fuel average was 4.6mpg. I later did a 4 mile stretch of road and stuck to the 30mph limit. I averaged 7.7.

I'll be honest, I found it an absolute ball ache.

Two stretches of road could have 20mph speed limits abandoned, less than three months after they were introduced.

Why do they get to say they don't like it put it back to thirty?

It's the same for everyone either it's 20 for everyone or 30 for everyone?

it makes sense to put it back to 30 if it's on a through road, but keep 20 on side roads and housing estates.
hopefully they'll arrive there eventually

I have my driving assessment tomorrow after having my right leg amputated. I actually use my prosthetic to drive and the biggest problem I've got is actually keeping the car at 20mph.My driving assessor thinks it's stupid as does my driving instructor who giggles and admits she can never keep to the speed limit yet muggins yer will fail if I can't keep the car to 20 as that will be seen as not keeping control of the car. Makes my blood boil.

Since the aim is to reduce accidents and cut pollution, can we expect Drakeford to petition Westminster for a smaller Barnett settlement since hospitals will be used less and we'll no be spending as much on fuel duty and VAT?

I went through that stretch again today

I've driven through Llandaff North and Whitchurch up to the roundabout, and frequently haven't gone above 17/18mph. Much in the same way that cautious drivers go a couple of MPH below 30 in case they exceed the limit, they now are going a couple of MPH below the 20 limit.
