Do we do away entirely with speed limits and leave it to the individual
to judge?
Not quite - but maybe we should have speed limits based on scientific
judgement.
Limits should also be variable given certain conditions, as they often are
on the motorway. Why is the out of town road "near a school" a 30 at 2am?
Offences, apparently:
The report doesn't mention the accident rates - though across a one week
period its hardly a fair judgement.
Always mentioned is the reduction rate of accidents. Is this the camera
being put in place or the warning of a dangerous site, that reduces
accidents?
Out of interest, what upper limit would you place on that road?
Maybe we should consider how the isle of man handles national limits?
There is no direct speeding offence (on national limit roads) but you can
be stopped for driving in a reckless manner.
Works over there.
