Wales becomes Trumpton

[motorbiking]

Seems more than fair.

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

in a 30mph limit?

 

[securespark]

Yes!

 

[motorbiking]

Should have pleaded not guilty and made them prove she was speeding. Type approval is limited to 10% accuracy. Hence a magistrate could have a reasonable doubt she was speeding. Despite their weaknesses magistrates wont be impressed with a 31 in a 30.

 

[Munroast]

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.

should also get their cars crushed.... and if above 30 they stay in their car.

Even Victoria Police thinks 30km/h speed limits are 'ridiculous'

A Victorian council is expanding a 30km/h trial – and the notoriously speed-averse Police chief commissioner thinks it's a 'ridiculous' idea.

This doesn't make much sense...

Buses should be exempt from Welsh 20mph law, report says

The report says making buses quicker than taking the car will attract more passengers.

The speed limit is either there for safety or not.

If its safety, allowing a large, heavy vehicle with less ability to brake quickly to be exempt makes no sense.

It would appear that the new limits are causing chaos, for professional drivers who can't risk a fine every day. I noticed in the news a few magistrates had resigned too for stating they were not willing to convict drivers exceeding the new 20 limit by a few mph.

 

[Brigadier]

One of the rationales for the 20mph limit was that it would make sod-all difference to travel times anyway.

Which they're now rowing back from.


Which is a polite way of saying "it's made up bowlogs"

 

[Brigadier]

Make 'em frequent (no matter where you are, or are going).

Anything else is just shafting everyone.

 

[fillyboy]

Drakeford leaves in a blaze of unpopularity.

 

[motorbiking]

apparently they can't balance the books..

But you' never believe it.

Wales 20mph speed limit: Road's eight changes in two miles

The 1.8 mile stretch of road includes a 30mph section that is only 520ft long.

www.bbc.co.uk

a speed limit of 160 meters. ridiculous.

 

[noseall]

But then I guess thats why 450,000 are against it

And that's where it stalled. And now more outrage from the right wingers and their shítty rags as motorists begin being fined for choosing to ignore the speed limit.

The "speed awareness" contractors will be very busy £££

...every cloud eh.

In case those like MBK that didn't know - your speed is indicated by those fluctuating numbers on the dash.

You should apply, they like people with no qualifications or experience in post learner driver training. I wonder if they have back filled the magistrates who quit over refusing to issue penalties to those prosecuted.

Most will accept their FPN's. The others that chose to ignore the speed limit will have to wait like everyone else. Post Brexit - Tory Britain for ya.
