Variable Motorway Speed Limits
Quote:
I take it this way: Saving money on fuel = greedy and an annoying inconvenience (the speed) Protecting the environment = noble and acceptable. Both the same thing as you say but worded differently gives a different view

Re: Variable Motorway Speed Limits
So no-one can really claim it was done for one reason or another.

Re: Variable Motorway Speed Limits
Don't be fooled by any crap any big company comes out with regarding their environmental responsibilities etc, they are driven purely on profit, bottom line, if it cost more money/fuel to limit their wagons at 50mph, they wouldn't do it, environment friendly or not.
It's just used as a marketing tool, but if it's expensive they won't take any notice of the environment. |

Re: Variable Motorway Speed Limits
Profit or image, where image leads to profit. Sometimes you can do the right thing for entirely selfish reasons.

They're the ones who need arresting. Not those doing 80.
