High or low, doesn’t matter, post then hear.

I think this might be a contender. As fast as you like, 120mph if you feel like it through a village past parked cars and peoples drives.

Except it's 60 mph, it's also a limit not a target.

Indeed. Hyperbole aside don't forget to 'post then hear.'

Have you been driving around thinking that the national speed limit sign means you can drive as fast as you like? WTF?

No it’s not. That limit isn’t a limit. It’s a completely derestricted road.

Legally you can go as fast as you vehicle will let you.

Hence, why it’s an inappropriate limit (should be a 40)

You know that sign doesn't indicate 'no speed limit', don't you? So I'm not sure suggesting 'as fast as you like, 120mph if you feel like it' is relevant as you'd be well over the legal speed limit.

To be fair, there are some inappropriate limits about but the discussion could soon rival 'where's your least favourite roundabout' on the excitement scale.

You people know there is a world outside England right?

There is no speed limit on that road.

Hence it being inappropriate

Do you people outside England use your tiny brains to make an educated decision? You know you don't have to drive at 120 mph, right?

But the point is that legally you could, and that’s stupid.

Maybe it indicates that people outside the UK can use common sense and don’t need rules for everything?

Maybe that’s why I was able to attend a Christmas function with 300 other people last night and have 22 people coming for Christmas dinner.

But you are required to drive at a speed which is appropopriate and safe. If you chose to do 120mph there, you'd be breaking the law.

So according to the posted limits, it's 30mph going into the village (standard) and NSL exiting the village (standard). Are you suggesting the road exiting the village has an illegal NSL sign erected because it's not actually NSL?

I told you there was no speed limit in the first post.

The “complete cock” is anyone who assumed the OP was wrong and that it was an international law.

the UK national speed limit sign in IOM means de-restricted.

OP is saying that the de-restricted speed limit is inappropriate as you have to pass houses/cars.

May be you should have a read of this before making up any more fantasies.

Can the mods rename this thread to "Most inappropriate attitude from an OP" please?
