I DON’T wish to come across as insensitive and the recent death on the A50 is indeed tragic, so it’s not surprising that there should be calls for a reduced speed limit.
However, while I freely admit that I am no expert in this area, I doubt very much that I would be substantially better off being hit by a car travelling at 50mph than by one doing 60mph.
The issue with many such accidents isn’t one of speed but of bad driving and it’s highly likely that bad drivers will ignore the speed limit regardless of what it is.
