Rumour of NSL reduction
Discussion
The ABD have received media enquiries over a DfT proposal, framed like this:
'Because of the cost of new speed limit signs under the 2006 review, the Government want to reduce the NSL to 50mph so the black and white signs will do the job every where.'
Coverage is apparently planned for Monday. Just a request for any additional info PHers may have.

To be honest given this Governemnt's desire to throttle the life out of the motorist and squeeze as much money oput of us as it can I'm surprised it hasn't been lowered already. The excuse of emissions and poxy Climate Changed will be used to justify it.'Because of the cost of new speed limit signs under the 2006 review, the Government want to reduce the NSL to 50mph so the black and white signs will do the job every where.'

If it does happen then be very afraid, because the motorway speed limit will be next, and believe me, it ain't gonna go up...
Are they ing kidding? Have they seen the price of petrol recently? And the percentage of that is tax? Or maybe they've had a look at how much road tax on a vehicle has gone up recently?
What a bunch ofing s. 50 limits are pretty much daft all the time. I can't remember when I last saw a 50 and thought it should be that, and not NSL.

The only difference will be an increased risk in being caught at 10% +2 over the proposed new NSL.
Surely this is just to increase Gordon the gofer's tax revenue.
