Quote from: AustinPowers on March 25, 2024, 03:34:45 PMSpeed is obviously a factor in accidents , but so is not driving appropriately to the weather conditions, using a mobile etc
But the amount of people who do not stick to under 30 or 40 in a built up area is unbelievable. And that's all ages of drivers , not just youngsters.
I would always do my utmost to adhere to 30/40 zones , but I've lost count of the number of times people have overtaken me while in a zone , maybe with a school, housing estate, children around in plain sight
Would be guilty of pushing it to the outer limits of the speed laws. I've got better over the years though the older I get, as you say taking chances in built up areas and where kids are about is not on.
