because our country has been infiltrated and they are destroying not just the UK but the world generally. They become stake holders in the lie. petro dollar is collapsing so is the American empire. They want off oil because most of its in the middle east and its mission creep. watch fuel prices go up. climate change is linked to the lie also

What’s not said is that the proposals out for consultation are also to allow HGV over 7.5 tonnes be limited to 50 mph on A roads as opposed to the present 40 mph. This picks up from experience in England where the increase for HGV limits has not had a detrimental effect. Trials on the A9 have also showed a safety benefit and reduced risky overtaking.

Be interesting to see the outcome. I suppose a blanket reduction for cars on A roads is cheaper than targeted reductions in higher risk areas.

A 50 limit for cars will extend already long journey times as Scotland has a lot of single-carriageway roads to which this will apply - much of which has been upgraded as the traffic levels don't justify dualling.

I think it'll cause more accidents as cars will be unable to overtake HGVs without speeding, causing more driver frustration and/or suicidal overtakes.

So they are thinking of reducing speed from 60 to 50 on major roads. Why don't they just fix the roads.

What has the condition of the roads got to do with legal speed limits? If the roads are that bad they will keep speeds down anyway without the need for reducing the legal limits.

If everyone is sticking to the same legal limit there's no reason to overtake.
