little evidence 20mph speed-limit-cuts-casualties

[Butcher's Coat]

Our street got put down to 20 m.p.h. - the council put notices all along the road on lamposts to inform everyone.
They then marked big fuck off 20's onto the tarmac.
Plenty of round signs with red borders too.
YET people still bomb around the place well above the new limit!!
f***ing idiots. Hopefully no bairn will get run over like.

Could happen at 20 mph too

That situation boils down to the parents

It could happen at 20 and if it does they've got a chance of survival. If they're hit at 30 they'll almost certainly die.
