Welsh 20mph limit: 100 fewer killed or seriously hurt in first year

Ex-minister says it shows policy was the most successful road safety initiative in modern times.

So that is 100 people having dinner tonight who would be dead.
Cause for celebtation. It needs tweaking in places but I class that as a big win.

Say Tommy, will you commit to never driving? It will be a victory and save lives!!!

I have visited there for work and hunting. My son was up in Oregon for a while. Been to Northern California down in San Jose areas multiple. OK to visit I wouldn’t live there I wouldn’t visit San Francisco anymore shit hole now.

Nor would you ride a motorcycle in ANY of those places without a helmet since the 80s.

Its great logic that is saving lives and reducing accidents.
20% less fatalities and 26% less accidents.
This isnt america where no efforts are made to improve lives.
Our neighbours in England are now adopting our initiative.
But all you can do is bray like a jackass.

You can do everything slow when you're not contributing anything to the world.

Why dont you just shoot people.? Its cheaper in the long run.

How does that work where you live Tommy?

No actually, I have admitted that this article is correct.


. . . but the point is not if lives are saved, it is about whether folks have freedom and liberty.


If you lock the whole population down under martial law, make all booze and any food that is unhealthy illegal, and take away folks freedom to drive, you can save even more LIVES!

I don't think you can find anybody who posts on this American forum who knows much about the Welsh laws.

having lived in the UK and travelled often to Wales I would suggest one or two. lol There's also a libtard ex-car designer with ford domiciled in the UK who would have intimate knowledge of the Laws relating to cars in the UK and thus Wales. I did find their parking signs very confusing; one would say Parking between certain hours but you had to exclude certain times during the day that weren't mentioned...or something like that. Cost a few quid but such is life.

Thread summary:

100 lives were saved. The conservatives here instantly went apeshit with hatred.

Conservatism is a death cult, and they want everyone to know it. They consider every unnecessary death to be a burnt offering to their dark lord Moloch, and they seek to maximize such burnt offerings.

I still love Motorcycles but the only ones I owned were for my Daughter to use as a Motocross racer. I never wore a helmet but she always wore hers to race in. Off road she also wore her helmet. She recently informed she disposed of all the racing motorcycles I bought for her since her racing days ended before 1990. Her husband also drove her to races including one at the Loretta Lynn racetrack in TN. There she got injured during the race.

I flew over England and landed and took off at Scotland. I recall the night we flew over London and the pilot told us all where were as we flew to Frankfurt, Germany. When I first got to Germany, their signs were a bit strange to me also.

How can less Welsh people being killed be classed as a celebration??

 

[Leo123]

Great logic!


Thus. . . ban all cars, buses etc. and reduce all deaths to zero!

We all know Limeys can't drive worth spit.

The roads are in miles and yards. Speedometers have both on your dashboard. Rail and horseracing is in miles, furlongs etc..

I knew you were dumb but:

three were fatalities,

"
Government officials have urged caution in attributing the fall in casualties to the 20mph limit.

The Welsh government's chief statistician said in a blog last year that at least three year's worth of collision data would be required for a meaningful comparison to be made.

Casualty figures have also been on a downward trend for sometime - the Welsh government said they have "declined steadily over the last decade"."
