According to an item on todays 6 o'clock news 75% of drivers think that the 60mph maximum limit on single carriageway roads is too fast!

No doubt a high proportion of these drivers think that 70 mph on the motoways is too slow.
Clearly having to negotiate an intersting stretch of road is more than most people can cope with.

Councils are now to be given 5 years to assess the limits on rural roads.
So presumably the various great stretches of road we have in this country will be emasculated further and provide yet more revenue from those ugly yellow boxes.

The item was ilustrated by showing some stretches of road (a village and a farm i think) that clearly require more caution or perhaps a lowering of the limit.

No doubt this is due to the KSI figure not going in the right direction. A stupid statistic if ever there was one, I suspect that there is a great difference between the two states, and does anyone know where serious injury starts?
