Speed limit to be lowered to 20mph in Wales

[Rjk]

The police will presumably give people a while to get used to the new speed limit, then initially start pulling people over and telling them not to speed before they start to fine people.

It's really not that hard to get used to it, and as long as they can be a bit sensible about keeping them main through roads at 30 then it will have a minimal impact on most people.

As I said earlier, I drive across North Cardiff several times a week, and it's a minor inconvenience.

If this reduction saves lives then how many lives would it have to save before it becomes worth the hassle? For me personally if it saves one kids life then of course I can cope with some journeys taking a few minutes longer.
Is there anyone who doesn't think that is worthwhile?

Given there is still a risk of dying if you hit someone at 20mph, the logical step is to ban driving altogether. That way, we can reduce the risk of killing anyone to nil. If life preservation is the reason then we should go the whole hog rather than the half arsed measure conjured up by Drakeford.

Don't give them any ideas, we saw how enthusiastic they were with the lockdowns!

It is a hassle I think, mainly because I find it difficult to remember to go 20. Even more so when there is no traffic about. I stick to it religiously by roath park as I know there is a speed camera there, but I’ve always got a car right up my arse the whole way
