Speed limits
Should we Increase the speed limit ?
As it causes more accident and uses more fuel.
Try hitting something with your car at 10 mph. It sure makes a mess of the car !
Driving at 60 instead of 80 gets you there 10 mins later and saves a bucket load of fuel.
Restricting speed to 20 mph when there is no obvious hazard seems daft too.
It's OK when schools are out or pensioners are crossing but not at other times?
Reminds me of a story.
An Oak tree growing in the middle of a B road.
Demands were made to have it removed as a hazard.
Facts showed that no one had ever hit it.
We all know who would have come off worst
Presumably its still there?
