I don't neciserilly disagree with lowering speed limits in certain residential areas, but there are other ways of improving road safety instead of obsessing about speed and using draconian methods to enforce speed limits. Every time there is a thread about speed limits you always wade in with stupid...

I'm more in favour of drivers being educated to judge the speed on the situation and not take speed limits as a speed to set themselves at and not go any lower/higher. My area is riddled with stupid 20 Mph zones with bumps everywhere. My alloys will be square before much longer.

Expensive and effective vs cheap and completely ineffective (not to mention unpopular)... I know where I'd spend the money

Same can be said for your 'omgs make everyone do 10mph anywhere' statements. :/

speed bumps and eibach coilovers = not a lot of fun

So, how does that stop me from anchoring up before each "intelligent" hump?
