    Makes sense all round. This should be introduced nationally.

    Reminds me of this Simpsons quote

    “55? That’s ridiculous! Sure, it’ll save a few lives, but millions will be late!”

    20 is just SO SLOW.i find myself more distracted at 20 because it’s so so so slow and I start looking around.

    But you can’t argue with the stats. If it saves lives that’s good. We’re already one of the safest nations for driving, and this will make it moreso.

      It’s a bit of a pain in my diesel which I end up revving higher in a lower gear (especially on hills). But this won’t be a problem when we eventually replace it with an electric car.

    Seems like there is broad support for this, though I find it personally annoying as my car really wants to be above 20 in 3rd gear.
