@simon lewis I know Simon, the powers that be, allow polluters to thrive, then sanctimoniously tell us to drive at greatly reduced speed to save the environment. The hot air that comes out of the Welsh government is more than any cars on the road. It's one big sham. We know who drives this agenda.
Did a quick test on my drive around town for shopping. My car does around 55 mpg at 35 mph, around 32 mpg at 20 mph. So it's polluting more the slower it goes.
The best 20mph speed limit I saw, was where it normally was a 30mph, but when School Children were coming out of School there were flashing lights saying 20mph. When the children had dispersed, the speed reverted to 30mph. Much better approach than a blanket 20mph!!
In my area they are completely closing any back street with a primary school in it for an hour in the morning and afternoon. It's becoming almost impossible to go about our lives. It must be hell for businesses
no Dra ford is a total nob head I'm looking forward to holding up the traffic and emergency services as i have a speed limiter on my car but i wont be going 20 mph i will be going 16 mph as the speed ometers are not correct
Exactly if it were about safety, they'd use permanent average speed check cameras on motorways and dual carriageways considerably more often than the single speed trap cameras. They don't because the average speed check cameras work better from a safety perspective and don't generate anything like the revenue that the single speed trap ones do.
They are leaving people less and less options. But people seem to be more worried about their credit score rather than thier right and freedom. I'm speechless.
It's all about control, nothing more and nothing less. As a truck driver I see the scenario of 50 or 40mph when the motorway or dual carriageway is almost empty. Its definitely a cash cow for the relevant authorities, so why would they lower the speed when the road is running ok.. As for my truck, they are designed to be running the most efficient at 50mph plus, and this is when the engine is running the cleanest, and NOT stuck on the motorway doing 30 or 40 with a sign saying its for the clean air zone. Look at the M1 passing Sheffield, it's been 50mph for years now, and the motorway is mostly raised up as it passes Sheffield. It's all absolute BS and a money making scam. As for 20mph, I understand past schools etc at school times, otherwise they are taking the p*ss, especially in Wales, because Drakeford wants to give every illegal £1600 per month, which is way more than your average Welsh person. The sooner the average person in the UK realises what its all about, the better, so WAKE UP ffs...
And there is no point in fighting in court either, if you try to reason with a judge that the limit was 40mph on an empty motorway with no roadworks they will double your points and fine you double and court costs. no logic to any of it.
I live in the socialist utopia of mad wales and the assembly is a joke, they don t live in reality and are green washed with the destruction of our country... they even passed a law to put tampons in mens toilets 🤡🤣🤣🤣.. the lunatics are running the asylum.
The amount of times I see 50mph on motorway because, pedestrians, accident, broken vehicle, traffic, roadworks, but guess what 99% of the time they don't exist
And reports of animals but also guess what? No animals to be seen apart from the ones undertaking and/or changing lanes without indicating, and even if they do you've barely got time to react.
We now have 50mph stretches of motorway, which completely defeats the object of motorways, why are people not fighting back against this onslaught of tyranny?????
Why do you think they have started the trend to change the motorway speed limits without warning? Why do you think so many cameras are being installed now? To protect the environment? The one and only reason is to swell the council coffers and finance the councillors' salaries. Owners of cars,and really any vehicles,are being systematically hoovered of their cash,to feed an ever greedier system.
Rumour has it that some of these 20 mph zones it will be better for the climate if people get out and push their vehicles? Because eventually if this lunacy continues we'll need qualifications to use a pushchair?
They'll be going back to someone walking ahead of vehicles with a red flag again soon. Its not just about money grabbing from motorists, its part of the wider campaign to force motorists off the roads to comply with the virtue signaling net zero loonies.
I know someone who drives around London a lot & cannot work without a car. He says it is much more stressful nowadays as some boroughs are 30mph, some are 20mph & you're never sure where the boundary's are so you're constantly looking at your speedo, plus on the lookout for road signs, yellow boxes, etc. It's a nightmare to drive & anxiety levels are through the roof! 😰😠

What they want is to get the peasants off the roads by removing petrol and diesel cars replacing them with expensive electric ones. The electric cars will only be available to the ones with 30 thousand or more quid. I am hoping my diesel 14 year old Octavia lasts the next10 years as I cannot afford to get another car.
Terrible arguments from these two - The only argument we should be having is our freedom to travel unrestricted in a free country, and after paying the road fund license, mot and insurance, the only other charge should be for parking. STOP the ULEZ restriction on our Freedoms. They do not have my permission to take My Data without my consent.
if is a real concern of local authorities then any fines collected should be given to local charities or the NHS ,i wonder just how concerned those local authorities would be then
This is the same of the countless National 60mph zones that were converted to 50mph.... Its bonkers! These councils clearly dont want cars. The speed should be fit for the area. Nothing wrong with 30mph or 40mph.
Not only is it tediously slow, but i refuses to believe that sticking at 20 saves emissions. If drivers are sticking at 20, the vast majority of people will be in 2nd gear, as 3rd is on the cusp of making the majority of people’s vehicles struggle at this speed. In my cars atleast, this means that they’re sitting just over 2k rpms. At 30, in 4th or even 5th gear in my other car, the revs are barely above 1k. Yes, that’s minor, but surely if every vehicle driving in these zones over the course of years are sitting at double rpms than they usually would, then this is going to cause more emissions? I may be completely wrong, and I apologise if I am, but this makes very little sense to me. Even my 8 speed automatic keeps in 2nd if decided to comply with these zones.
I was driving up the M1 a few years back, I was driving past Luton going north bound. There was cones everywhere but no workman working on the motorway, it was midnight and hardly no cars, the speed signs on the gantry were constantly changing between 50 & 60 for no apparent reason. A few weeks later I received a speeding ticket, I’ve never been done for speeding since I got my licence back in 1985 because I’ve always do my best to be within the law.
@@leexgx I do remember what happened, it was flashing 50 then the next one flashed 60, then the next one went back to 50 but I stayed on 60. If it stated 50 all the way through without going up down up down that would of been so much easier and I would of been happy doing 50. It was crazy at midnight there was no traffic around hardly, there was no need to keep changing the speed and not one single workman on the road.
The accidents happen because pedestrians are not paying any attention on what is happening around them because they are so engrossed with mobile phones.
Its the long game, annoy you off the roads, they don't care about your engine,quite the opposite ,they're wishing it buggers your engine ---- E10 petrol anyone? Your car goes off the road, maybe you won't buy another ?------- They win..........
Similar thing happened to me on a German autobahn. They went from unlimited/no-limit zone to 100 within the blink of an eye. Car cannot stop from 230kph to 100kph so quickly going down hill. I saw a flash but never heard anything. And it was on a rental.
Shortly you will have to have a man with a red flag walking in front of every car to warn people you are coming. 1865 act (the "Red Flag Act"), which required all road locomotives, which included automobiles, to travel at a maximum of 4 mph in the country and 2 mph in the city.
20mph speed camera's a cash cow for sure. Lets put some penalties and fines in place for the criminal activities of our politicians, I would like to be on the receiving end of that fund.
I drove down to Kent from Manchester on the bank holiday weekend and I never got above 60. I spent 90% stop and start. Don't even get me started on the poor state of our roads and pot holes. The trip took me 6.5 hours in total.
It is ONLY a CASH COW. The government is looking into PPM, adding 70p to £1.50 A MILE, depending on how little in road tax your paying. If your paying zero road tax because your vehicle a green emissions one, you would be paying the maximum £1.50 per mile.
I was on the M25 late night, nothing else on the road, all lanes open and empty. Then every other overhead i passed closed a lane and dropped the speed limit. Eventually i was driving on the second to right lane, at 50mph, with 3 lanes to my left with a red cross, and cars in the outer of 5 lines flying past at 90mph. Then the next overhead opened all the lanes and the process started again. Most confusing driving ive ever done.
As cars are getting more efficent and tech'ed , and driver training is advancing, the speed limits are decreasing, what does that tell you? ----- Yup, war on the motorist, trying to destroy it for the common man,(person).
Ulez always was a cash grab too, not just the 20mph zones. Did you think for a second that if everyone bought a "green" car, that they would not repurpose the ulez cameras into a congestion charge instead ?
Talking to a truck driver years ago, he pointed out you could go out with a licence in the morning and come back with 12 points . A couple of speed infractions , a dodgy tyre,a dickey light....... They're out 8-9 hours a day, we just travel to and fro work, ----- their job is to travel.
This may have been forgotten by many but Ken Livingstone was also a scam artist with a fondness for exploiting the London motorist. He was exposed for deliberately skewing the sequencing of traffic lights in certain parts of London, to actually create more congestion in order to fulfill his agenda for road charging, with the excuse that it was to reduce congestion at peak times!! Seems that Ghengis Khan has just updated the scam to be even more ambitious!
I was in a TFL meeting and with the 20mph Zones and charge per mile and time in the zone. The Sadiq Khan, TFL and others will earn the money of this. Your Smart Phone and Smart online connected vehicle with not be your friend. With ULEZ Vector type cameras. Slow you done and with new cars with built in speed limiter from July-22. My Business like others the 20mph has up our overheads as the work done in the day just can’t be done in the same hours.
Great idea until your having a cardiac arrest. The responder is now going to take 40% longer to reach you. Thats the difference between life and death. It will literately cost lives.
They'll soon bring out cameras that will flash you if you're under the limit! Their stupidity and greed knows no bounds. Anything to deter the motorist. In the near distopian future all private transport will be banned and the only transport will be state run. You will have cameras pointing at you and issuing penalty charges for swearing or stating anything that contravenes the official narrative. Freedom of speech and thought will be outlawed. The only opinion will be govt opinion. Those who oppose the govt will be sent to FEMA camps where they will be tortured until they submit to authority or lobotomized until they do. Read George Orwell's 1984!
All about money and nothing to do with saving the environment The slower a vehicle goes the lower the gear needed the higher the amount of emisions the vehicle emits Granted 20 is most likely safer say outside a school but the saving the planet shite is a total lie
I just heard 'wants to scrap 20mph and ULEZ'. I stopped the video to make sure whoever this is, knows he has my vote and my kid's vote and my wife's vote and the vote of every single Londoner that I have come to know during the 40 years I have lived and worked here... Get it done.
We have a 20mph average speed in plymouth but at the end converts to speed camera. It has trapped literally thousands ( over 6000 in 9 months)! It is a cash cow.
If going slower creates more emmisions then this is probably the reason behind the 20mph speed limit. The mayor of london probably knows that what he says about the air quality is wrong, so he enforces a 20 mph speed limit to create more pollution to prove his claims.
GUESS WHO INVENTED THE 20MPH LIMIT? THE WHO, 'THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION.' NEVER BEFORE HAVE MORE KIDS BEEN KNOCKED DOWN BY THIS DECEIVING SPEED THEY PLAY CHICKEN! YET U CAN DO 50MPH ON A COUNTRY WINDING ROAD, DO THEY WANT US DEAD?????
I don’t mind if they fined people but giving people points for being over the speed limit by 4mph. We have now 2 million people who have more than 6 points. The only people who have benefitted from this has been insurance companies charging extortionate amounts for cover. Shame
20 mph blanket speed restriction for Wales could potentially wreck the tourist industry there! I often travel into wales it’s such a beautiful country but this would potentially ruin my day trip - pooling around with other drivers on my bumper expecting me to go faster and the imminent threat of a speeding fine once I’m off the main routes. Seems like a decision that’s not been thought through at all and on many roads there’s absolutely no need for it! I agree in danger spots repeated RTC’s schools hospitals and such that there’s a valid case for it. However a blanket mandate across the entire country?!
Car gear boxes are not designed for a 20mph speed and either over rev or preform under the peak torque spot which wastes so much fuel , and who can concentrate at 20mph without looking at the squirrels and pigeons and what rubbish is blowing around
I saw a video on here a couple of nights ago which stated that the Shadow Transport Secretary had put in a suggestion to the Cabinet Transport Secretary to introduce a 10 mph zones. So is this something to look forward to?
We have had a 20mph limit on the street where I live for years, very few drivers take notice of it and some downright ignore it and do well in excess of the 30 limit never mind the 20. We have NEVER had any speed enforcement to check. There is a school and most of the residents are elderly including myself. So what’s the point?
The whole policing of the roads is out of date in regards to speeding complete cash grab. They must prop up the economy with all these fines and courses. I'm a hgv driver and have been driving since 2006 the problem is a terrible standard of driving not speeding. This last Friday(beginning of the bank holiday) sore the worst driving I've ever seen. They do nothing to actively catch bad drivers just drive around in unmarked cars goading people to speed then pulling them. This country is absolutely backwards we need proper government that live and think in the real world!
I'm driving in London going to work , driving with 20 miles per hour which is double pollution, more time take to work place and traffic increases madnes. This 20 miles per hour is not working.I don't know this politician are stupid or what. The air pollution it is increased because of reducing speed limit.
We've had 20mph zones in Hull, in some residential areas and around schools, for over 20 years. They save lives. But reading the comments here, safety is not even on some people's lists.
It's ok in crowded area as it was but introduced it now most of cities. Bare in mind people need to go work,shopping . Unnecessary speed reduction to 20 mph is annoying.
20mph coming in..and yet where are the green cross code,crossing the road adverts ? if its about saving lives,why have the tv adverts been missing 40 years ? there are generations like mine age40-70 years old,still thinking look left look right ect as it was built in,during our childhood..now we have 2 generations who have not had that
If its really public safety, then councils and schools would still be teaching children cross the road. Possible grown-ups too without a smart phone suck in their face! Bring back an updated version of the Green Cross Man!!!

Has any one tried driving at 20mph? Just sends you off to sleep at the wheel. No 'stimulus' to keep you alert.
I was on the M25 late night, nothing else on the road, all lanes open and empty. Then every other overhead i passed closed a lane and dropped the speed limit. Eventually i was driving on the second to right lane, at 50mph, with 3 lanes to my left with a red cross, and cars in the outer of 5 lines flying past at 90mph. Then the next overhead opened all the lanes and the process started again.
Most confusing driving ive ever done.
As cars are getting more efficent and tech'ed , and driver training is advancing, the speed limits are decreasing, what does that tell you? ----- Yup, war on the motorist, trying to destroy it for the common man,(person).
shocking. anyway, more F-16s, please...🙄😂
Ulez always was a cash grab too, not just the 20mph zones.
Did you think for a second that if everyone bought a "green" car, that they would not repurpose the ulez cameras into a congestion charge instead ?
When are they going to acknowledge, that not every motorist is driving a mile or two round local area's. Some have to cover hundreds of miles.
Talking to a truck driver years ago, he pointed out you could go out with a licence in the morning and come back with 12 points . A couple of speed infractions , a dodgy tyre,a dickey light....... They're out 8-9 hours a day, we just travel to and fro work, ----- their job is to travel.
Top gear ran a race across London. Using a car🚘a bicycle,a 🚲a boat🛥️,and public transport 🚌 the race was won by stig using public transport 🙋
drive at 5mph in 20mph zones, cause more chaos
soon drivers will just remove number plates in these areas
This may have been forgotten by many but Ken Livingstone was also a scam artist with a fondness for exploiting the London motorist. He was exposed for deliberately skewing the sequencing of traffic lights in certain parts of London, to actually create more congestion in order to fulfill his agenda for road charging, with the excuse that it was to reduce congestion at peak times!!
Seems that Ghengis Khan has just updated the scam to be even more ambitious!
I've always fancied an Austin 7, looks like now's the time to buy one.
I was in a TFL meeting and with the 20mph Zones and charge per mile and time in the zone.
The Sadiq Khan, TFL and others will earn the money of this.
Your Smart Phone and Smart online connected vehicle with not be your friend.
With ULEZ Vector type cameras.
Slow you done and with new cars with built in speed limiter from July-22.
My Business like others the 20mph has up our overheads as the work done in the day just can’t be done in the same hours.
Great idea until your having a cardiac arrest.
The responder is now going to take 40% longer to reach you.
Thats the difference between life and death.
It will literately cost lives.
They'll soon bring out cameras that will flash you if you're under the limit! Their stupidity and greed knows no bounds. Anything to deter the motorist. In the near distopian future all private transport will be banned and the only transport will be state run. You will have cameras pointing at you and issuing penalty charges for swearing or stating anything that contravenes the official narrative. Freedom of speech and thought will be outlawed. The only opinion will be govt opinion. Those who oppose the govt will be sent to FEMA camps where they will be tortured until they submit to authority or lobotomized until they do. Read George Orwell's 1984!
All about money and nothing to do with saving the environment
The slower a vehicle goes the lower the gear needed the higher the amount of emisions the vehicle emits
Granted 20 is most likely safer say outside a school but the saving the planet shite is a total lie
Can they pay me the money I will lose because I'm getting to work late
I spend more time looking at my speedometer and potholes l than the road ahead now. 😅
My vote 🗳 goes to you mate
JIM DAVIDSON GOT DONE TOO. from 1 of the most profitadle cash Cows
Children are educated at school about roads safety .the cars of today have better brakes visibility plastic fronts ect lot more safer 🤔
Been down the M6 in a 50 zone that should be 70 and then the sign says “speed limit in place to reduce emissions”… this was at about 2am…
Only in London near Merylebone you have camera set at 20mph, then 30pmh and another one at 20mph to confuse you and to catch you.
All for the war effort…the WW3 effort the U.K. and America are making in ukraine
Who can drive a car in 4th gear at twenty miles an hour?
Wouldn't be surprised if the cameras get damaged it's pathetic.
I just heard 'wants to scrap 20mph and ULEZ'. I stopped the video to make sure whoever this is, knows he has my vote and my kid's vote and my wife's vote and the vote of every single Londoner that I have come to know during the 40 years I have lived and worked here... Get it done.
Outside schools etc I understand but on normal roads what's the point where do you stop next it will be 10mph
We have a 20mph average speed in plymouth but at the end converts to speed camera.
It has trapped literally thousands ( over 6000 in 9 months)!
It is a cash cow.
If going slower creates more emmisions then this is probably the reason behind the 20mph speed limit. The mayor of london probably knows that what he says about the air quality is wrong, so he enforces a 20 mph speed limit to create more pollution to prove his claims.
GUESS WHO INVENTED THE 20MPH LIMIT?
THE WHO, 'THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION.'
NEVER BEFORE HAVE MORE KIDS BEEN KNOCKED DOWN BY THIS DECEIVING SPEED THEY PLAY CHICKEN! YET U CAN DO 50MPH ON A COUNTRY WINDING ROAD, DO THEY WANT US DEAD?????
I don’t mind if they fined people but giving people points for being over the speed limit by 4mph. We have now 2 million people who have more than 6 points. The only people who have benefitted from this has been insurance companies charging extortionate amounts for cover. Shame
Make them pay its usually tory mps any way.
20 mph blanket speed restriction for Wales could potentially wreck the tourist industry there!
I often travel into wales it’s such a beautiful country but this would potentially ruin my day trip - pooling around with other drivers on my bumper expecting me to go faster and the imminent threat of a speeding fine once I’m off the main routes.
Seems like a decision that’s not been thought through at all and on many roads there’s absolutely no need for it!
I agree in danger spots repeated RTC’s schools hospitals and such that there’s a valid case for it. However a blanket mandate across the entire country?!
If the cameras are attacked it will cost more to fix them than the fines coming in . Same goes for Ulez and the cams on variable speed limits
Car gear boxes are not designed for a 20mph speed and either over rev or preform under the peak torque spot which wastes so much fuel , and who can concentrate at 20mph without looking at the squirrels and pigeons and what rubbish is blowing around
I saw a video on here a couple of nights ago which stated that the Shadow Transport Secretary had put in a suggestion to the Cabinet Transport Secretary to introduce a 10 mph zones. So is this something to look forward to?
We have had a 20mph limit on the street where I live for years, very few drivers take notice of it and some downright ignore it and do well in excess of the 30 limit never mind the 20. We have NEVER had any speed enforcement to check. There is a school and most of the residents are elderly including myself. So what’s the point?
20km is absolutely not practical 99% Londoners drive above 20km anyway
The whole policing of the roads is out of date in regards to speeding complete cash grab. They must prop up the economy with all these fines and courses. I'm a hgv driver and have been driving since 2006 the problem is a terrible standard of driving not speeding. This last Friday(beginning of the bank holiday) sore the worst driving I've ever seen. They do nothing to actively catch bad drivers just drive around in unmarked cars goading people to speed then pulling them. This country is absolutely backwards we need proper government that live and think in the real world!
I'm driving in London going to work , driving with 20 miles per hour which is double pollution, more time take to work place and traffic increases madnes. This 20 miles per hour is not working.I don't know this politician are stupid or what. The air pollution it is increased because of reducing speed limit.
The whole CC is a TOTAL SCAM
We've had 20mph zones in Hull, in some residential areas and around schools, for over 20 years. They save lives. But reading the comments here, safety is not even on some people's lists.
It's ok in crowded area as it was but introduced it now most of cities. Bare in mind people need to go work,shopping . Unnecessary speed reduction to 20 mph is annoying.
@@BholaSingh-vv6ej It's ok in residential areas and around schools. We like to keep our kids and the elderly safe.
20mph coming in..and yet where are the green cross code,crossing the road adverts ? if its about saving lives,why have the tv adverts been missing 40 years ? there are generations like mine age40-70 years old,still thinking look left look right ect as it was built in,during our childhood..now we have 2 generations who have not had that
If its really public safety, then councils and schools would still be teaching children cross the road. Possible grown-ups too without a smart phone suck in their face! Bring back an updated version of the Green Cross Man!!!
What is his party name??
