Have we all seen the comments of a certain ex police commissioner reported yesterday that suggested speed limits should be related to the driver and conditions rather than the road itself?
He used the example of an f1 driver having no speed limits at all.
This came up between four of us last night in a pool hall and soon embroiled a dozen or so strangers too. It was very interesting who agreed with it and who didn't. And it didn't follow the pattern I might have expected.
My main interest is how they decide who is capable of deciding how fast the road is, where do you draw the line? Advanced drivers? Emergency drivers? Police class one? Driving examiners/instructors?
It was a real eye opener.
By the way, it was a really stupid off the cuff suggestion that he has since apologised for so this is just something I thought people might have opinions on.
