A lot of London is 20mph now. It is seriously enforced by the Met police too. Fooked if I know how they are resourcing it with all the other problems in London and a lack of KSi stats to back it up too apprently?
I fell foul of it last year, copping a 42 in a 20 nicking which cost me £800 and 6 points! Anyway, i'll answer to myself for that one, but, as i'm so paranoid about getting any more points, i stick to it religiously and TBH I find myself driving under 30mph when local now.
I’ve had 2 tickets when driving in Hackney for work and I’m really careful since.
We’ve moved further out and are on the border of 2 boroughs where I have about 200 ms then it’s 20 to 30 to 40
I then go onto the A12 50 mph for about 5 minutes and I’m back in Hackney and
blanket 20 limits.

Thats madness! How the hell do you keep checking that and your surroundings etc, but I guess fairly typical of Londons stupidity! Another thing is bikes in some bus lanes, but not in others. Not very welcoming for visitors.

Tbh it’s great - I’m hardly ever in a 20 now unless I head into town.
The Hackney bit doesn’t take long and I’ve got cheap/free bus travel as I’m an oldun when I use public transport
The car at work is a leaf so it’s easy to drive at 20
Rob Clark, head of motor underwriting at esure, said: “We can see a clear drop in vehicle damage claims in Wales since the 20mph speed restriction was introduced in September 2023. During a time when we usually see these claims rise, they dropped and have continued to do so in the first quarter of 2024. The restriction is clearly having an impact.”
