As there is a power-law relationship between collisions, injury and speed it is well established that generally fewer collisions occur as speed decreases. There is a assive reduction in serious and fatal injuries with reduction in speed with the power being 3 and 4 respectively for those injuries. There is a large increase in collisions in congested and slow traffic but serious and fatal injuries...well there are almost none.
which is mind-numbingly simplistic, as is the over-simplistic solution of slowing things down to the lowest common denominator of stupid kool, drivers.
As a result, millions of safe drivers like me are now forced to do
where once was a

where once we could do

where once we could do
etc. etc.
And the stupid thing is us safe drivers wouldn't go faster than is safe for the conditions anyway BUT the idiot kool drivers will still drive unsafely.
You don't get that the idiots will still continue to be idiots culpable of adding to the KSI while the SAFE will continue to pick up fines.
Please don't tar me with the same brush as dangerous drivers just because I may go over a dumb posted,
newly modified, limit! It is a technical infringement and political agenda, not a dangerous lifestyle. I've lost count of the number of times I have followed, (not always immediately behind), police vehicles which are not 'on a shout' along such roads.
