| I've often said that we should drive as if we're a bonnet ornament, meaning that we'd be far safer drivers if we took ourselves out of our little pods and said hello to the real dangers. As for the 30 mph limit, what happens when you get yor wish and the speed limit is lowered to 30 everywhere and y... |

| Basingwerk, Are you now saying that if we all drove at 10 mph or under we'd have 100% accident free roads? Surely you can see that this is not the case?
