Claims bloke with some unsubstantiated anecdata that he probably just made up.

What a fooking moron. All the actual data demonstrates this to be a good thing. He seems to.think that because some people decide not to drive at the new, lower speed llmit, lower speed limits are bad.

20 mph limits are often OTT in my view

Sounds like someone's not been hit by a car driving at 30mph. Never too late.

The people tying red ribbons to their cars would feel like right twits if they hit someone.

I've been hit by a car going at rather more than 30 in a town centre. It was not entirely optimal and resulted in the imprint of a headlight in the back of one leg for some weeks.

Yes but consider that people would reach their destinations slightly more slowly and that driving 20mph is a bit boring

The 20mph limit is total balls bollock useless pointless in urban carriageways. On side roads it’s not enforced. How these c unts can’t manage such a basic issue how tf can you trust them with the economy???? Fvck the fvck off

It's so hard to know who to trust these days.

If you want people to drive safely, don’t put an airbag in the steering wheel. Put a spike sticking out of it. It’s all a simple matter of incentives

These are legitimate points TBF, but they probably don't outweigh the reduction in fatalities and the generally increased pleasantness of the urban environment.

Steering wheel = free will
Airbag = welfare state
Spike = debtor's prison

I reckon they're of limited utility, but human nature is to go a little bit over, so I'd rather a 20mph where there was some discretion to prosecute (as now) rather than, say, a strictly enforced 30mph (as in some countries).

20mph also produces lower emissions.

The six litre supercharged V8 is never at its best until about 30mph.

I was hit by a car travelling at <20mph as a child and fractured 2 vertebrae narrowly avoiding death so I don't think a 20 limit is OTT
