iamBullivant20mph speed limits save lives. Research from London:
"Child casualties dropped by 46%, and children killed by 75%"
20mph = Fewer maimed and dead children.
Difficult to argue with that.

@bullivant the 20mph limit, in the Scottish Highlands, is viewed as a "war on motorists" 🙄🙄
Raymond Russell@mactunag @bullivant
Everything is viewed as war on motorists.
Part of the problem is that there is a heavy tax burden on motorists, which I agree with. Road networks are expensive to maintain and financial encouragement not to drive unless really necessary is no bad thing.
However certain motorists view paying for roads as a license (sic) to do what ever the hell they want cos they own it. Any reasonable infringement becomes a tabloid "War on Motorists" story.

@raymierussell @mactunag Yeap. And rail and bus (outside cities) is driving more people onto the roads. It's mad.
@raymierussell agree with the point on taxation = license to drive as they wish. It's frustrating =/
