To be quite honest, most "country roads" around me are so narrow and winding, its near impossible to reach 60.
Common sence applies
Speed limit NOT Speed Target

Its only going to be blackspot areas.

Are there really that many people out there who can't figure out what feels safe and what doesn't? FFS.

There are 30 roads near me that you could quite comfortably do 60 down, wide road, can see far ahead and open junctions.

However there are some 30 roads where doing 30 feels really unsafe due to the narrowness, double-parked cars etc.

We don't need nannying... If idiots get themselves killed then it's just natural selection.

I like to investigate the single track country roads around my area. They're bendy, twisty and bumpy. And are 60mph limits. Ive never hit over 45 on them as you just cant see enough. When i get to the bends its a drop to max 30 and at most 3rd gear. Its just not safe to go faster. More car drivers need to realise that the speed limits dont have to be met all the time. I get car drivers right behind me even if im doing 40 in a 40. Then they overtake me and sit at 35 in front of me -_-.

I could foresee this leading to more over exuberant dodgy overtakes as people get frustrated by people actully sticking to 40. I reckon overtakes cause more fatal accidents than just doing 60 rather than 40 down a country road and randomly losing control in a ball of flames.

I dont believe this BS! Cant they see that THE SPEED LIMIT IS TOO FUCKING SLOW AS IT IS!! THEY SHOULD INCREASE IT, NOT LOWER IT! Who the hell enjoys driving 60mph ffs! Driving slow breeds frustration. Frustrated drivers are not safe drivers. People that come up with speed limits are stupid cunts. People that enforce them are bell ends.

As long as its applied to the correct areas and actually policed, good.

There are some areas that just retarded having a 60 limit. Most people cant get above 40 on them, but theres always a handfull of cocks that are convinced they are racing gods, aim for 60, and come right across the center of the road on near blind corners.

I would love to agree with the 'driving correct to the conditions' arguement, but until someone manages to convince the 50% of road drivers that think they are awesome, that the are infact feckless idiots with no road skills, speed limits will have to hang around.

i kinda welcome the change.

dont need to be going along at 60 down roads like that

It will be policed about as much as current speed limits are policed, if not less. What makes you think otherwise?

A far quicker, easier, cheaper and more effective way of drastically reducing road casualty statistics would be to ban motorcycling. Now that would be easily policed.
