The answer will be an indefatigable YES.

What they should be asking is about how fast people drive through other peoples villages
That doesn't appear to really matter with many as long as their own back yard is OK!

[Bing o]

what about the people driving too slowly outside of villages?

[Peter Ward]

The trouble is, people DO drive too fast through my village. I wish they didn't. It's noisy, unfriendly, and indicates a lack of sensitivity to the needs of residents.

But really that's not the point is it? If there were fewer stupid political 30 limits then drivers might respect the proper ones. If every suburban dual carriageway is 30 and rural road a 50, speed limits become irrelevant wherever there is no speed camera. Indeed, where there is no speed camera there is by definition no danger because we know that cameras are placed in accident blackspots. Isn't it strange how messages get distorted through the government's own spin?
