I did a driver awareness course recently and the host informed us that England and Wales would all have a 20mph urban limit within 3years. Looks like she may well be right...

I'm in support of it. If you want to drive quickly bugger off out of town.

I look forward to all the '40 everywhere' drivers getting banned for doing twice the speed limit

I guess its a population density thing, as cars have got safer with better tyres, more powerful brakes, ABS etc?

They seemed to have all slowed down to 30 round here. It really is not all that bad but then i am not trying to navigate from one side of a city to another.
