Ministers say they are on course to meet current road casualty targets

Proposals to bring down speed limits in areas of Britain where there is a higher risk of accidents have been announced by the government.

 

Reductions from 30mph to 20mph in urban locations and 60mph to 50mph in the countryside are being considered.

Yes I agree, there is a time and place for 'racing about' ...... but come on 20mph is a bit ridiculous!!! Some roads that are currently 30mph are stupid enough as it is!!!!! :headvswal

They've recently dropped a long stretch of road from 60 to 50 around here. Very annoying.

 

Fact is, 2 parts of that road a long, clear, safe straits which you can easily overtake, and most people do 80+ anyway. It won't change how quick people drive, they'll just fine you more for doing it.

 

I insure 3 vehicles and they have to be on seperate policys its a joke. Admiral multicar offer a small discount for doing 2 of them through them but they won't insure my van, which is through gladiator using norwich union, however direct from norwich union wanted an extra £300.

 

This country has gone mad.
