I also reckon the number of claims on roads of 30mph or slower would tend to be lower than those on roads with a higher speed limit, so 20% overall? I don't buy that whatsoever. That's not based on any dislike I have for a blanket approach on the 20mph limit but looking at it logically.
that was what was fairly widely reported - car damage claims down by 20% across Wales.
I would imagine that quite a high proportion of minor bumps were on roads that were formerly 30mph
