The hook nosed poisoned dwarf aka London mayor, together with the Welsh (mis)Government, is to impose 20mph speed limits in many areas previously 30mph zones.
Obviously, this has been the cause of much celebration around the country as, inevitably it will spread to more regions once news of the great benefits breaks. Less emissions, fewer collisions, more freedom for cyclists and pedestrians to roam the streets not looking where they are going.
A new “road safety” (for this read anticar) group has been set up to promote 20mph as the default speed in all built up or semi rural areas. It has 600 members. Meanwhile a petition has been signed by 58000 people who are AGAINST this brilliant idea.
How can this be you ask? Well, firstly, they know it is the thin end of the wedge. Next they will be calling for 15/10/5 mph. After all, less speed = fewer casualties. Of course, take ALL cars off the road and there will be none apart from stupid sods bumping into each other on foot or bikes. No need for road protests either. Nobody would be going anywhere.
Secondly, it’s a cash cow for councils as everybody knows. Easy pickings from that famous charity group known as motorists.
Thirdly, their “facts” aren’t correct. Driving at 20mph means you have to drop gears with higher revs, greater emissions. More noise too unless you are a silent assassin in your EV. And you have your eyes fixed on the speedo instead of looking all round. More dangerous.
The road system in this country is a compromise between getting from one place to another and safety for yourself and everyone else. These zealots are forgetting what the roads are for. Transport. We all know there are bone-headed thugs and nutters who roar through towns at stupid speeds. But if they don’t obey 30mph how will they keep to 20mph?
If I drive through a village which is a 30mph limit I will automatically slow down further if there is a horse, bike or child around. Eldery folk are fair game. I’m sure most drivers do the same. Dropping to 20mph is incredibly frustrating if there are no obstacles. To drive this slow for miles on end isn’t feasible. You adjust to the conditions. Yet that is the world we are looking at in the near future.
I just dont believe that the stats quoted by the nanny state and interfering busy bodies add up.
20mph is yet another stick to beat car drivers with.

If you think 20’s plenty, you’re a cunt.

20×20. That will really get the juices flowing.

I walk faster than 20mph.
But if I hit you in the van at 20mph it’s still going to hurt.
Especially when i reverse.
It’s bollocks.
It doesn’t cut emissions.
Speed things up!
That’ll cut emissions because people can get things done at a effective rate and get home on time.
20mph outside a school?
I can see that.
Maybe a hearse entering the crematorium,
But most roads should be 40-50mph.
16
20mph outside a school, great. Although don’t enforce it at night. Some cunt I know got 3 points on his license driving past a school at 2AM on the way back from the airport.
The speed limit briefly dips to 30 outside the school (on a main road), and of course there’s a speed camera waiting to catch people out. If the little tots are hanging around at 2AM they are deliquents who deserve no protection.

Suckdick Khunt again. Whatever that piece of shit comes up with it spreads like a filthy creeping disease to every city and town in the country. Just like his fellow countrymen in fact.

Suckdick wants zero deaths on the road, but doesn’t seem to do owt about deaths from ghetto acupuncture?
13
That’s cunts ulez expansion is a cash grab.
It won’t make the air cleaner, because you ain’t banning the vehicles.. for a fee you can come in an pollute the city..
It’s like banning smoking in pubs for health concerns then saying if you pay me a fiver I will let you smoke..
I hope that greasy goblin chokes on a kebab..

These 20 zealots are the usual collection of cry baby’s who want to ban anything that’s fun..
I guarantee if these wankers had a modicum of driving ability they wouldn’t be quick to push these speed limits.

Good news though:
https://www.gbnews.com/lifestyle/uk-drivers-speeding-20mph-zone-unenforceable
Anyone who genuinely wants 20 mph speed limits is a Guardian-reading, Tom Daley-fancying, bicycling cunt od epic proportions.
We all know the type. Hypocrites and mental spastics.
On Friday, I was going through a village, no houses around that bit and got stuck behind some prick doing 18.
Yes, fucking 18. So I overtook him and swerved dangerously in front of him, horn and middle finger on the go and I didn’t give a flying fuck what he or anyone else thought.
20 mph
15 minute cities
ESG
Credit system/UBI
It’s all linked but people are too (willingly) blind to see it.
26
Oh so it was you TTCE who nearly forced me off the road, tooted his horn and gave me the finger as I was dawdling through Watton Inbred last Friday.
You bloody road hog you.
10
You ovetook a car doing 18mph?
Couldn’t have been driving the Allegro then?
6
It’s not just 20mph. Roads that used to be 60mph are now 40 or 50, roads that were 40 are now 30. Going out for a motorbike blast on a Sunday used to be a ritual – now it’s just frustrating. Combine that with stupid cycling cunts out in their hundreds, it makes my piss boil.
18
Ho ho, doesn’t stop me, LC.
I’ve always ridden 1 litre bikes way too fast because I’m a selfish and irresponsible wanker and won’t/can’t change now.
13
I also ignore stupid speed limits. A deserted country road with good visibility – 60mph is too slow. Built up road in a town going past a school at kicking out time – 30mph probably too fast. It’s just common sense. I like to tell that to the pricks in Teslas who think my little back-road with kids and dogs is a race-track.
10
At election times, we need voters who can read the “manifesto”. I suspect not many do.Where I come from, a Labour candidate ( even if a donkey ) is elected. Its in the genes!
When you consider that Labour has done fuck all for the North East except fuck it over, there must be something fundamentally wrong with the system. In Kebabistab ( our former Capital ) it is a given that Khan, his dog shit or something of a similar colour will be elected. I would bet many Camels that will happen !

Problem is most of Londons population can’t speak English let along read it. An example a mini cab driver in court had an interpreter, the judge asked the driver how long he had been in England. Answer via interpreter over 25 years. From my own experience of working in the migrant hotspots of dear old Londonstabistan I would say they have no reason to learn English all government forms come in Hundreds of languages and civil service , councils and benefits bend over backward to ensure the desire not to learn English is no hinderance to accesssing the public purse.
19
It infuriates me that if some cunt, who can’t be arsed to learn English, needs an interpreter one will be supplied. Free. Us white cunts will willingly pay for it, it seems. Try that shit in any other country. Can’t speak the language? Fuck off, then.
14
Total bollocks. Yes slow down by schools and crossing for old folks.
These cunts won’t be happy until cars are banned.
14
Fine nomination. As you say people adjust naturally to the conditions, they don’t want to keep looking at the speedo every few seconds.
I guess the 20’s plenty crowd don’t drive, or when they do they’re the ones causing tailbacks and accidents.
12
The only vehicle I find preposterous is the speeding motorbike. Not only are they dangerous when out and about, its the obtrusive noises you hear from miles around when sat quietly at home. They are the wasp that are unnecessary and share no purpose, only to the selfish users of the contraption.
10
we’re not all the same. As I said above, speeding on a deserted country road with good visibility is no problem. Agree about loud pipes. They just piss off the general public when we should be getting them on side.

And let’s not forget the rare two-stroke to irritate you further, SS.
My ancient 750 not only makes loads of obnoxious noisy crackles, but it also belches a lovely blue exhaust cloud.
10
Long live the two stroke. A two-stroke at full chat is music, not noise. And the smell – takes me right back to my youth with my RD250 running Bel Ray.

Driving around my village/small town at 20mph or less is the only way to survive now the “season” is in full swing. Our little roads are filled with camper vans the size of frigates, caravans that would easily house a months worth of dinghy riders and large groups of people wandering around in an aimless fashion before descending on one of the two small stores and clearing the place out before I get a chance to buy my dinner.. it would be true to say the whole area could be made 20mph and no local would be bothered Off season then it’s fuck everything as long as you avoid the 60 yard strip of frozen cow shit, mud 6 inches deep, branches, trees, dead sheep and the fanatic cyclist wearing dark clothing with no lights as a sea fog roofs in. 20 mph for housing estates OK maybe everywhere else fuck off.
4
Persons knocked down by vehicles traveling at 20 mph, have a better chance of survival and likely to spend the rest of their lives bedridden and in wheelchairs if they’re lucky. Who would want that ? I would prefer to be killed at 30 to 40mph, rather than suffer.
4
Most accidents are caused by stupid cunts not paying attention to what they are doing. Doesn’t matter if speed limit is 30 or 20 – they still drive like wankers. Uber drivers, food delivery cunts, pakis etc..
17
I was on a big A road with two cyclists in single file in front. Plenty of space to overtake on my side of road but as I went to pull out the 2nd cunt pulled alongside the first (possibly on purpose) causing me to brake hard behind them. This is what causes RTCs.
9
Of course these speed limits only apply to other people not the cunts pushing for them.
Don’t apply to the cunts in lycra who have a god given right to ignore all rules of the road.
13
Agree – they would be better off getting cunting cyclists to stop riding on pavements, stop electric scooters and those ridiculous “e bikes” that are actually electric motocrossers doing 40mph. Pricks
10
I defend the cyclists who were here before the motorists. Its the others on newfangled contraptions who are causing more accidents. It can only be good thing when the police are the perpetrators.
2
so, it’s ok for cyclists to ride on pavements? (I’m not talking about kiddies her, but adults).
4
I was just sticking to the roads on my own steam.
1
This is all part of the ongoing war against the motorist by the eco movement.
Fuck them, and the cycle lobby in particular.
Morning all.
15
Hordes of the cunts round here on a weekend. We’re just too close to London. Loads of asians as well for some reason. Thought they were more at home in a fucked up Prius than a bicycle.
5
Look at those fuckers in the photo. They just ooze middle class smugness and superiority. They’re here just to lecture you and tell you what an uncaring cunt you are. I bet they are all remoaners and vegans. Guaranteed.
12
It wouldn’t be difficult to eradicate most if not all traffic accidents, all they need to do is impose a speed limit of 10mph. Only trouble is, no fucker would get anywhere. Can’t have it both ways.
2
Aye.
Probably own a five bed detached, drive a Range Rover and have 5 kids.
Carbon footprint bigger than a small country but they can lecture cunts with no kids or car, for example.
If you believe all this carbon footprint bollocks (I don’t) then having more humans is the most devastating factor.
Next time one of these pricks pipes up in my presence, I will say I might consider not using a plastic bag or buying an electric car, if she kills all her fucking ugly cunt kids first and puts a cork in her cunt.

Probably photographed in Hampstead too.

Hobby horse of mine:
In a country of 68M people (and rising rapidly) fewer than 3000 deaths per year on the road is completely insignificant.
When you knock off the accidents caused by:
cars full of pissed up teenagers hitting a tree at 3am
blue light vehicles twatting a granny
Duchess of Wessex’ outrider running over a prole
Cyclists undertaking a lorry and getting minced through the railings
Twats doing 90 no matter what the speed limit
People driving into fords when the water’s 8′ deep
Motorcyclists either being total twats or not being seen by other total twats
People committing suicide off a motorway bridge (yep!)
the number of deaths per year caused by accidents which happen at 5mph over the speed limit is close to zero.
The ONS lists accidents where excessive speed or breaking the speed limit is a contributory factor at about 300.
Over 600 people a year die by falling down the stairs.
The whole “roads are dangerous” schtick is absolute bollocks, perpetrated by utter cunts.
7
Very good point, 3000 out of 68+ million, tiny figure
Problem is the U.K. government works on the principle “ The needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many”. Been their mantra for years.
Useless cunts.

Anyone committing suicide by leaping from a motorway bridge is a disgusting selfish bastard.

If Londoners have any sense, they’ll vote for Susan Hall at the next mayoral election, and get rid Khan.
If not, then fuck ’em, they’ll get another four years of that lying cunt and his ULEZ and it’ll serve them right.
6
Too many sambeaus, paggis, wokeys and ‘postal voters’ in the smoke.
They will vote Suckdiq back in, sadly.

London was full of dickheads when I lived and worked there in the nineties (1994-1995 because of hospital stays and 1999-2000 through work).
That it has ended up with a Muslim leftoid as a mayor is no great surprise. The place has always felt as welcoming as a grizzly with a headache.

“…You adjust to the conditions….”
Of course you do. There’s technically a 30mph limit on the suburban road where I live but when the school on the corner is turning out with mothers, excitable kids and toddlers either side I wouldn’t dream of doing anything over 10… But that’s the point of this. It’s fuck all to do with safety but it IS another piece of mission creep, It’s just another incremental vector by which they can remove the capacity to think for oneself.
