Lowering speed from 60mph to 50mph will result in fuel savings which would mean reduced tax benefits. Increase in fines with new cameras probably won't cover it: the golden time for cameras was when they were cheap and people were not experienced.Comment

If someone is running along at 10 mph, and you hit them from behind at 30mph, the speed of Impact (SOI) is 20mph.
Surely if this government were serious about safety, and health, they would be spending their time encouraging more people to run along the pavements instead of walking

Watch out for that secret fuel duty rise in the smallprint, so overall tax take will be the same after the speed limit reduction. Tried and tested ZanuLabour tactic.
They should just let drivers get on with it and make everyone retake their test for even the slightest infringement. Result - huge increase in test fees (ie stealth tax) and public sector job creation (test instructors / examiners). Boomed.Comment
