Re: 20mph online petition
I've just read the actual petition, and it has to be the most poorly written load of nonsense I've ever seen on there, it reads like something from the Wales online comments section, with random BLOCK CAPITALS and somehow stating that this is the end of socialism in Wales.
I'm actually embarrassed for anyone associated with this.

20mph?? Stop lockdowns now!!
And put a stop to everything NCB doesn't do, as long as he can knock down who he likes

if you can't safely read road signs, or keep your car at 20mph and keep your attention on the road then perhaps you should go back to your driving instructor and ask for a few more lessons
There is an excess of street furniture at times though. In Holland they stripped a lot of it out except essentials in some places and let people use common sense. It seemed to work very well.

yes I'm all for a removal of street furniture, especially speed bumps, far too many of them around.
would be nice if they occasionally fixed some potholes as well

If a car had one gear you might have a point, but it doesn't, so it's nonsense.
For example - suppose I drive for 5 miles at a constant 30mph. One day I drive the whole 5 miles in 4th gear, the next I drive it in 1st. According to your comment, I'd use the same amount of fuel both times.
Cars use gears. The energy used by the engine results in revs per second. 2000 revs per second uses the same amount of fuel regardless of gear.

pretty much all cars can manage to do 20mph in 3rd or 4th gear though, no need to drop to 2nd

There will be a backlash against these squealers soon. Far more important things to get in a lather about but they can barely squeak about them. Pathetic.

The audacity of the Welsh, especially Labour Welsh, to make decisions about their own country that ‘they’ can’t stop. Shocking.

Don't bother with 4th. It's 1st, 2nd, 5th for me 🙂

lots of evidence to show that collisions at 20mph are a lot less dangerous than those at 30, not to Mention the fact that they happen much less frequently
If I am hit by a bus at 20mph I'm dead.
Your post is a crock of shit.

No one will need to worry about gears when they move on to the next stage of the plan
Full employment in Wales.
Every car will have to have someone walking in front carrying a flag as they travel round at 12 MPH
It’s been done before
These lot down the Bay aren’t as daft as you think

Re: 20mph online petition
Not that long ago I branded Drakeford a despicable man....and my post got removed....
Since then I think a lot worse has been said about him....
My further comment is that he needs to be sectioned....he has no touch with reality.
I look forward to this being removed......

Brilliant remember it's one signature per email address, I'll check if my XL Bully Satan (he's so soft and loves kids) wants to vote on his email, while he still can :thumbup:

12 mph is a pretty brisk walk, it'll do wonders for the nation's quads

The Brynglass tunnel speed limit increased to 20 miles per hour from 100 meters per hour.

Re: 20mph online petition
All the jibes being aimed at the Labour Party yet the vote on the matter in the assembly saw the three main parties in favour. For what it’s worth I think it should be reviewed and the system rejigged, taking certain major roads out of the 20mph zone. One thing though, that Tory leader, who was photographed with ‘20’s Plenty’ signs, you’d take it from that he agreed with the changes, has now changed his tune and sees it as a vote catcher. Says a lot more about him than Mark Drakeford.

I think there are very few roads that need changing, and they'll probably get sorted out over the coming year

Reverse gear for you at 20mph it's been great for weeks good old Mark :hehe:
Still, you got there in the end with a bit of common sense, just one lefty left :thumbup:

:hehe: I fear for the state of your car if you're doing 20 in 4th.
Go back to your physics teacher.
