Wales becomes Trumpton

[motorbiking]

Is this a variable limit set at different times of the day according to the traffic safety conditions? Nope. It’s a blanket speed limit change to all restricted roads. Only 3% escaped.

Even more stupid for breaking the limit imposed.

He mourned Boris for months. Probably still sobbing.

Trial it and see how it works?

 

[motorbiking]

They did. It didn’t. But they ignored everyone and did it anyway.

I heard that they are putting signs up in Wales asking cyclists to allow at least 1.5 metres clearance when passing cars.

"You can practically run faster than drive at 20mph - you see push bikes go past you!"

A month on from the controversial 20mph speed limit change, how do people in Wales feel?

I think you may have a point. They need to reign those idiots in as well.

Cyclists are exempt from all / arguably almost all speed limits.

Has anyone been given a ticket in wales for between 20 and 30 ?

we have had this blanket 20 here in the scottish borders for 2 or 3 years now, I don't believe one single ticket has been issued. (police refuse to give a sensible nswer to a FOC) which I think confirms the answer is zero

It's supposed to be self enforcing - The few who stick to 20, hold up the masses trying to do more..

 

[motorbiking]

Not in Wales - they changed the law.

Apparently enforcement has now started. 10% + 2mph, though currently they are adopting a 10% + 4mph threshold, perhaps to avoid banning and fining half of Wales.

So 3pts and a fine for doing 26mph.

 

[securespark]

Seems more than fair.

My Mum got a fine for doing 31mph in Hants.

Seems fairly generous to me!
