Forums Forums Wirral Information Law And Your Rights Lowering the speed limit - the debate continues!

I drive from Tranmere to Seacombe about 3 times a week and witness atrocious walking, red light runners on pedestrian crossings, crossing the road without looking, running out between cars, running on the road after balls, pushing prams out between cars. Can't believe the amount of shit walkers i witness.

I drive from Bebington to Liscard and back about 10 times a week and the number of idiots on the road, either driving, walking, riding or cycling never ceases to amaze me. No reduction in speed limit will make up for common sense or some brain-dead peoples perception of their own importance.

I remember that even when we were little, long before my late bro & me were first being taught to drive, my father hammered it into our heads that when you are driving a car, you are in charge of a lethal weapon - and you had better treat it like one!

Even after all these years, it has stuck.

It is so very true I wish more people would realize it...

You crack me up Bert!

Square wheels on cars!!! That'll slow everyone down!!

I read somewhere that a bike training is woirried as there is now nowhere a learner can exceed 50mph in North Wirral, so in theory can pass the driving test never having driven at 60+mph and then can legally drive at upto 70mph on the motorway. That will be a bigger killer if anything.

Changing speed limits is targeting the sensible (ish) drivers who occasionally do 45 in a 40 zone and it will as said earlier not stop idiots who choose to drive at double the speed limit as often these people dont have a licence, insurance, mot or tax so dont care whether they get caught or not.

When taking the driving test you are not meant to drive at the limit for the road, you are meant to drive taking the road surface, danger, area and many other things into consideration, that is common sense and I believe that probably 98% of drivers do this then 2% dont give a damn.

silly

I got a major fail for speeding on my test 2 mins into the test lol
