The needless reduction in speed limits is one that annoys me.. since councils were given the power to set limits its been reduce this, reduce that... usually for no good reason.I have a main road near me with only woods on either side, its a nice wide straight road as well, yet courtesy of the council its now a 20mph zone with bumps. Grr!

I concur!! There's a lovely dual-carriageway not far from us, passing through no residential area or near any schools- clearly designed for 60+ mph driving, and it has a 40mph speed limit. Why bother building expensive, fast roads, and then put stupid speed limits that no-one obeys on them? Not to mention a long stretch of the A1 in Lincolnshire which has been reduced to 50mph, with lots of speed cameras, as an "accident reduction scheme"! The cynic in me suspects it's just yet another way of increasing speeding fine revenue.

Lets not forget the A40 Westway.... formerly known as the A40(M)... once national speed limit, now 30mph in places. Utterly, uttely stupid.

The dual carriageway from Dundee to Arbroath is like that. The speed limit goes up and down like a whore's drawers and you are never very sure what the limit is where you are.

With respect though how much is true and how much is scaremongering? I read that bit about manafacturers not selling parts to non-franchised garages but being honest it doesn't ring true. Local garages are openly saying in adverts they can service new cars without effecting warranty as it's aginst some EU law to stop them.
