You should have made a complaint. Professional drivers should operate to a higher standard than the average amateur. Escalate it, in writing, not email. Yes it is. It earns them nothing.

Go on then - show us how average impact speeds when vehicles are freely travelling at 30 or 40mph are no higher than when they're doing 20mph.

Why do you say that when it is untrue? There is a correlation between speed and accident rates. But even if there wasn't... Even if the number of accidents was unrelated to speed, any accident is going to be more serious if speeds are higher.

Mrs S & Mrs M are women. We are not.

Would it though? Why do you need to bury the cable? But you have a building with power in it, with short line of sight to the house, and short line of sight to the gate. Must be a way to link the two inside the building?

Have it all on the surface all of the way and it won't need an RCD of any sort :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

It's starting to look as if the refuseniks, having tried cherry-picking data to "prove" that they're right to dismiss 20mph limits, and been caught out and thus failed dismally, are now starting to dismiss all data,

Then a 20mph limit there wouldn't be a problem for anybody, so why oppose it?

You talked elsewhere about some people being daft enough to believe the results of air quality monitoring exercises. Looks like here you're assuming that everybody is going to be daft enough to not spot that you're dismissing reductions on 20mph roads because those speed limit changes have not...

Reductio ad absurdum.

Maybe it shouldn't be. Maybe UK-wide the default speed limit for restricted roads should become 20mph. That would be a big help for all the drivers who say that they don't have the mental capacity to cope with having 20mph and 30mph limits. And lets not make the mistake of thinking that...

Better not to have to share the roads with drivers so -----ng useless that they can't pay enough attention to what they're doing.

You might like to think about how many people are daft enough to believe that objections from people like you and Mottie are not driven by political ideology instead of facts and truths.

Using a term like that displays such a high level of bias and antipathy that nothing you say about him or his policies can be taken seriously ULEZ expansion August 2023. Proper year-long monitoring study began September 2023. Results not available only part-way through the study when the...

Excessive acceleration and braking will still produce more particulate pollution from tyres and brake pads, and will still increase road wear.

Let me see if I can help you to understand the post of mine which you quoted. So the "doing what" will be "try[ing] to focus on the more serious issue as a rule of thumb". Do you see it now? The energy consumed by accelerating a car is proportional to the square of the speed gained. So...

So in other words 20mph limits have very little effect on journey times, and so anybody complaining that they make journeys take too long is talking complete bllx- it's just a false claim they've seized on to try to disguise the real reasons for their opposition. Shall we look at some of the...

My parents' house (1930s) still had some old wooden boxes left for light switches. The switch plates had little toothed lugs which pivoted outward as you tightened the mounting screws and they dug into the sides of the box. Wish I'd kept an example.
