[QUOTE="Tnecniv Edipar, post: 10507, member: 418"] signed. The UK national speed limit applies to main roads other than motorways and derestricted dual carriageways. Originally the speed limit in the UK was reduced due to the Suez fuel crisis but the reduction was not removed after the fuel crisis ended !! The UK has a ridiculous policy for road safety , just slow everything to a crawl until even if you did hit anything it would not result in injury or damage !! I expect before much longer that the men with red flags will be back !! One thing we do need , badly , is a jaywalking law. Some pedestrians seem to think that they can jeopardise their own and others lives at will just because the law defaults to them in an accident. Then we have cyclists adopting the same attitude. Or take the moped speed limit , which government brain donor decided that restricting these infuriating devices to 30 mph was a good idea ??!! Whoever it was , have you ever considered disproportionate speed ? Mix a 30 mph speed restricted vehicle with 50 or 60 mph highway traffic and what do you get , A HAZARD !! The best bit of stupidity though is the recent amended Motorcycle driving test ! It includes a hazard avoidance swerve test that is actually resulting in injury causing accidents to the test candidates !! Roll on the revolution !! [/QUOTE]
