Thread: So are we just going to sit back and accept our residential roads being made

    So are we just going to sit back and accept our residential roads being made

    undriveable by 20mph speed limits?

    I'd rather risk my own children being mowed down by someone driving at 30-40mph than face the excrutiating agony of having to crawl along at such a ridiculous speed.

    Well we've sat back and accepted all the other petty infringements on our liberty over the last 70 years of socialism, so I don't see why we'd start objecting now.

    First they decided you can't drive after a few sherbets. Then it was mandatory seat belts. Next thing, a teacher isn't allowed to discipline a child. Fancy a cigarette? You can't, it's banned. State the truth that a man is a man even if he's wearing a frock? Verboten.

    Hell in a handcart, and so on.

    I was a bit annoyed at first, especially getting overtaken by a cyclist but as someone who mainly gets about on foot, and in an era of fear of vehicles mounting pavements, I don't mind it too much now.

    To get over it behind the wheel you just have to chill, dude. Get all zen and stuff. It can be quite calming, I've found, if not in a mad b.astard hurry.

    Oh you can buy a cigarette. You just have to be punished for doing so by paying ridiculous prices and looking at stupid photos in a plain box kept being big metal doors in a shop.

    not long ago you could be 16 and smoke.

    I'd have thought in London you'd be quite happy to be able to get up to 20 mph

    You're fine in residential streets though.
    I find 20 mph a bad speed for my car. that's my excuse.

    The one saving grace around my area is that they've not yet installed any cameras in 20mph zones. In fact, I've not seen cameras anywhere with a 20mph limit. I assumed this was because every **** on the road would be getting about 15 fines a day. Do they exist?
