In towns and villages I think the speed limit needs to be as low as 20 MPH, but I enjoy driving fast when its safe to do so some roads make me so mad, knowing they’re safe and I feel the speed limit can be higher

vroom vroom!! Laughing

Are you serious Alan. How will it be any safer cutting speed limit on that road (above) from 60 to a 50MPH? Evil or Very Mad

The faster you can go, the quicker you can over take the slower car, and get back in your own lane.
Its not the roads that are dangerous it’s the people using them! thumbs up
