So drive at 50 when it's clear and at 35 when it's raining, icy, etc. no need to increase the limit. It won't be you causing an accident, it will be the impatience of the driver behind you Edited by phisch21 - 07 June 2012 at 1:06pm |

That's what I do. What I am saying is that speed limits have no such descretion and are generally too low for perfect conditions.
The speed limit from the Target to Polish War Memorial is 50mph. Any reason why? No houses, no pedestrians and the same road becomes 70mph just after.
If the speed limits are too low, of course people are going to break them.

Seriously, take a driving lesson or attend a speed awareness course where you can discuss your compelling ideas on road safety. |

50mph heading into town due to the road narrowing to two lanes then a third lane merging, then narrowing back to two I imagine. 50mph heading out of town - no idea, maybe because it has to be the same limit in both directions? or perhaps as it is a busy stretch of road a lot of the time and hence care needs to be taken with traffic merging from the left (and idiots who have to get straigh into the middle lane |

A slower speed also helps traffic flow

I know someone who went on a speed awareness course. They were told have fast you can travel on the M25 before the camera is activated.
Remember, 83% of drivers admit to going over the limit. |

83% of drivers admit to breaking the limit, 17% of drivers are liars!
Ive done advanced driving courses almost to the level of traffic pursuit officers. Never done a speed awareness course but ive heard that they talk about crashes at 130mph which is a bit odd considering the only people that go on those are people who have gone within 12 mph of the limit i believe?

Dave-R. Speed awareness courses do not talk about 130mph crashes.
