“We still suspect that implementing the 20mph on the basis of saving lives is a smokescreen for the real reason behind the legislation..."
Anyone know what they think the "real reason" is?
Very likely about the war on car, where car and freedom is being "oppressed" because car people think they're the most oppressed despite the privileges of having city pave way for them to go everywhere they pleased, so they can drive like a drunken goose they are.
But of course cyclist are bad because we don't follow rule.
Car drivers - the ultimate snowflakes.

Do you have any studies that show an increase in ticket quantity in relation to a reduction of speed limit? I would love to read about it.
If it were the United States it would be to funnel more money to police departments via higher tickets.
A person who speeds in a 30mph zone isn't going to stop speeding when the limit is lowered to 20; the ticket will just be more expensive.
They could always just not break the law. A radical solution, I know...
That would be nice. Of course, the law would have to be made with safety in mind, and not money-grubbing.
Isn't that the exact case for these 20mph zones? To make the streets safer.
Why does ticket revenue go to police departments?! That's pretty fucked up.
CONTROL
OF WHAT?
THE SPEED LIMIT TODAY
ME TOMORROW
YOU ARE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE.
think about it
if the government can freely impose a speed limit without being bound by these things called HUMAN RIGHTS, like the right to TRAVEL (not drive), then literally what is standing between them doing that and them dispatching their robotic mind control spiders that will drill into my brain while i sleep and make me dance like THEIR PUPPET
That was a measured escalation.
Fair enough. I thought it was going to be some sort of weird conspiracy theory. Yes, I think the spider rollout is due to start as soon as the 20MPH zone is established outside the Sainsbury's in Chipping Sodbury.

Eh? Can anyone explain in a way that isn't gibberish?
The joke is that the reason is gibberish.

I don't know why, but that's all the dots I can connect
It probably involves Jews.
