Wales becomes Trumpton

I often get to do 10mph or less on m1 and m25.

Through London it's often difficult to achieve 20mph.

That's as a motorist not a cyclist.

On my local roads 20mph is probably the best average .
.
It's great to complain about lower speed limits, but in the real world they are often unachievable limits.

It must badly affect those that want to do 40 or more

I don't live in areas like that , 30mph is slow enough around these parts

I'm not angry, it neither affects not bothers me in itself.

I don't buy the "safety" angle though, not in reality anyway.
In that the issue isn't people doing 30, who are now doing 20: it's the people who were doing 40 (and upwards), who clearly didn't give one for the limit anyway.

Chill Brig, it’s not all about you.

I was talking about those that are affected.

Like I said, I'm not affected by this, nor bothered per se.

It does however bother me that changes can be and are made, with flimsy, non-existent, or even made-up "evidence".

You and I might not be affected by the Welsh speed limits, but there might be a change that does affect you).

(My business is currently being shafted by this right now, all on false premises by a group of people with delusions of grandeur. The costs of which will have to be passed onto the customer).

It’s fairly clear that the person being interviewed is claiming that labour have admitted the £9bn cost and it was not something invented by me.

you mean Welsh Tory Andrew RT Davies was claiming that "Labour have admitted it"

The 20 limit in Wales is shafting you? How?

No, I specifically said the 30 to 20 doesn't affect me, but another change does. One based on nothing more than a group of advisers' wet dreams and ego trips.
That the customer will pay for, yet get nothing extra to show for it.
 
Every once in a while a government/council etc over step themselves and people revolt.

Anyone remember richard brunstrom? The CPO of north wales? He got so excited about speeding and being a politician that he forgot to do the rest of his job. Bye bye. Enjoy retirement. Drakeford will probably feel the squeeze soon enough.

It's being quietly rolled out in Cornwall, about 4 towns so far I think. Only discovered about it after driving through Camelford, which is usually slow anyway.
My town is one of the next batch so we'll see how it goes.

Is there an exemption for white vans?
