This is what you accept when you object to 20mph speed limits. This is what you shrug and say "yeah, that's fine, happy to accept this rate of death" over.

@rosamundi For people who use sane, standard, IS units, 20 MPH ā‰ˆ 32 km/h.

Removing 30 km/h zones to please stupid car drivers who rather kill people to "gain" a ridiculous, insignificant amount of time (that will be spend at red lights/stop sign anywayā€¦), than "be late", is utterly stupidā€¦

@devnull @rosamundi I thought that UK had finally adopted the SI (I stands for INTERNATIONAL) units.

Well, the sickosā€™ country (aka the USA) had signed the Metre Convention in 1875, and they still use the moronic, illogical and non-standard old UK imperial unitsā€¦
