What also needs to be done is to educate pedestrians and cyclists about the rules of the road and some common sense !
Yesterday whilst driving home and down a 30 mph lane to my house, I encountered an adult cyclist cycling towards me on the wrong side of the road .. the brainless moron made absolutely NO attempt to move over to the correct side and guess who had to move to avoid him !! Now under the new rules of the road if I had hit him, as the bigger vehicle, I would have been at fault !!
And no, we don't need cars that do over 100 and 0-60 in 4 seconds ..

I hope Welsh cyclists remember to give 1.5M clearance when they overtake us car drivers!

Have to smile at these, and boy does it feel slow at times. Found myself humming the Who song's lines 'creepy crawly' - no idea where that came from?

Wales, lovely place, what is the government there doing, what will be the impact on tourism, will there be more road rage, what will be the impact on the economy….
Last time I went to France it was 30kph with speed humps all through the villages, no interest in going back, won’t look to book a holiday to Wales again now, don’t drive into London if I can avoid it, such a shame the U.K. seems to be taking backwards steps when we used to innovate and drive change for the better.

The petition launched on Monday is getting close to numbers that reflect the voting in Wales!! It has gone up by 250 since I started to write this message!!!
https://petitions.senedd.wales/petition ... 6E_xXSUp-c
"almost at the 440,000 people mark of people who voted for Labour in the last Senedd election and not far off the 559,000 people who voted for devolution in the first place".

It's infectious,we had cyclists here in Adelaide South Australia demanding 30 kph limit in the city.
Experience is what you have immediately after you need it.
