This new (old its been mentioned before) 50/20mph speed limit think
How can we fight against it? Im fed up of this Government and its stupid short sighted make us look good safety crap. Its been shown by themselves that speeding is not a cause of accidents!!! So how is it that this is seriously been considered and the way its being talked about will certainly come in?
What can we do to make sure it doesnt happen? Discuss. Below are links to ways which we might make a difference; Questionnaire on the new road safety proposal. http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/open/roadsafetyconsultation/consultationresponse Obviously tell them the speed thing on rural roads is rubbish and that cracking down on speed is also useless but drinking, drug etc is what they should be sorting!!! Petition http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/noNSLreduction/ E-mail these with your thoughts; http://www.dft.gov.uk/roadsafetyconsultation Your MP select your MP on the right, please feel free to use the below example; Quote:

Personlly I believe that the blame lays solely at the hands of motorists (including bikers) completely ignoring speed limits and highway codes, showing no respect for their own and other vehicles/surroundings/hazards etc. Until these people can be educated somehwo to accept that they cannot continue showing such disregard, the authorities will continue to clamp down harder and harder spoiling it for the rest of us/sensible ones. just my 2penneth worth |

Interesting readin comments on the times online I just hope the Government does what it should and listens to the people. Its a joke all this. If they really want to make a change they need to look at crappy road layouts. Of course spending money on anything but camera's to make money is not likely to happen...
Labour, the Government for the people. My ar$e. |

If they REALLY REALLY wanted to make roads safer they'd make houses only allowed 1 car to reduce traffic on the roads. I've just come back from Fueterventura and over there the roads are amazing, hardly any cars and **** all to drive into.
But they wont do that because roads users create such a massive income for the gov. They need that money to fund the porn channel subscriptions in their second homes. |
