The ‘The speed limits are too low’ trap
This might be a good point – I’ve often driven on roads that seem to be OK for 40 or 50mph but which are restricted to 30mph. But…
Unless you know the history of a particular area, and are an expert in making sense of such data, how do you know the limit is too low. Where is your evidence?
Being a good driver doesn’t make you psychic – the road cloud be a major accident black spot.
If you are local and you know a limit is unreasonable – gather some data, form a pressure group and fight to get it changed.
There have been cases where the accident rate has been cut when a higher limit has been imposed.
