A13: Why the new speed limit?
Marc Brett wrote in message . ..
journey (assuming you treat the speed limit as a target and hit it perfectly). That's an extra FOUR MINUTES on your commute. What's the problem in setting your alarm clock 4 minutes earlier in the morning and just sticking to the speed limit? You'll save wear-and tear on your car by not braking for GATSOs, You could use that old argument to slow cars down to any speed you choose. People seem to forget however that the whole purpose of cars is to get you from A to B as quick as possible. If that wasn't the case you might as well just turn the clock back 200 years and walk. IMO speed limits should be as high as is safe on the given stretch of road. If this means 150mph on a straight section of motorway or 20mph outside a school so be it. Also if you are late for other reasons 4 minutes could be the difference between having an easy day or getting a formal warning from your boss. B2003 |
