This way we would not move at snail speed, hit bumps all over the place and be in fear of daring to get 4th gear in

Yep, it's all BS.True-Blue said:The 20 mph speed limit is nuts, I have to drive to Barbican in London from the M4 every three weeks and big stretches of 30mph are now 20mph. You really need the reflexes of a Ninja with all the bloody cyclists overtaking you and cutting in, that’s in addition to the electric bikes and scooters… it’s a nightmare
On another point, I’m not condoning phone use in the car at all, but with these new cameras CarPlay and whatever the android equivalent is are the way forward.
Having said that, I don’t understand how having to flick through several menus on a big screen just to adjust the heating (in an electric car) is somehow safer than accepting or rejecting a call on a phone attached to a phone mount on the dash.
How is messing with a permanently fixed tablet deemed ‘safe’…
Watch out, here comes ‘1984’

Not any more! I think that the summer trade will drop off due to this once word gets around re fines etc and we will be lumbered with even more f'ing grockles in Devon and Cornwall

Don't worry there are plenty of 20mph zones in Cornwall too. :wink:
