She’s probably correct, it’s a standard of driving issue as much as anything. There’s some absolutely grim driving going on around the place, so those people won’t give a fuck about the speed limits anyway.
Ya it’s not typically the ones following the rules who cause accidents it’s the ones who ignore the rules of the road that do.
This will only see to inconvenience drivers, slow traffic causing longer traffic jams and generally inconveniencing everyone.
Why don’t they just enforce existing laws instead of attacking the citizens?
Oh right speeding tickets a would make a nice piggy bank for them which is made easier the lower you set the limit…
At least for urban centre, my home town had found one of the best way to enforce speed:
Pair a traffic light with a speed sensor, if you exceed the limit by x the light turns red. You get a ticket from camera only if you break the red light, which is quite an expensive ticket.
The result is that practically now one speed, because you’d do anything to avoid a red traffic light.
And the thing is timed well, you have plenty of time to stop as the speed sensor is far back
Big difference between crashing at 60 vs 80, lower speed gives more time to react too. Rules are there for a reason, and if people don’t follow them, they’ll learn the hard way, either through fines or insurance refusing to cover their own mistakes. Nothing teaches better than losing money.
