This is the same sort of sensationalist lies we get with the "speed kills" brainwashing campaign - seems to have worked on you though! ;-)


How can you say it seems to have worked on me when I put the OTT bit? And speed does kill, it's just the numbers that can be argued over.

Um...


You're right to question that. What they actually mean is, "Britain's annual 3,100 road death toll would be cut by two-thirds to around 1,000 a year if all residential areas had 20mph limits that were genuinely enforced."

Ta. Thought so! I really am very surprised at the PACTS! This does their credibility no good at all!


What credibility ? Giffords credibility ? who with ?
