They don’t want it to work…..they want it to not work…..that’s the point of it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 21,441 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Seeing more and more 20mph zones, I was in Norfolk last week and went through quite a few on our travels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pardus 1,569 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I fully back 20mph zones past schools, in fact, all school routes should have speed cameras or speed bumps. But, we could claw that back easily and up the national speed limit on the motorway, we could have a safe limit of 80-90mph. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doing 80-90 mph wins you absolutely nothing on British motorways, they are just too busy. All it does is massively increase you and everyone else’s chance of you creating a fatal accident…..for your journey, all it means is about 5 minutes, that’s a fact. If you can maintain a mile a minute on the motorways then that’s what you are aiming for, it’s safe, it’s the quickest way from A to B and it saves you a fortune in juice. 20 in towns is a scam, in London I think the average is about 13mph ?? …….20 is an almost impossible speed to maintain, you’ll be under or you’ll be over and they know it which is why they know it will generate most fines. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, I've just worked all over England, Wales & Scotland for over 20 years but I haven't done much motorway driving lol. Your point doesn't make sense, you drive accordingly to the conditions, if a road is chock a block with traffic you won't be doing 70mph either. But, on many of my work commutes I've been stuck on the motorway limited to 70mph when the conditions are perfectly safe for 80-90mph. Work it out, that extra 10 or 20mph on a 3-4 hour journey saves more than 5 mins. Edited June 20 by Pardus Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No doubt it's getting worse year upon year with more cars on the road, but trust me, you ain't always stuck in traffic trundling along at 50mph. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But that's beside the point, you drive accordingly to the conditions, if the road is full of traffic then you won't be hitting a constant 70mph either, but when the conditions permit, 70mph is way too slow IMO.
