Just seen government proposing 40 mph on country roads - where I live we already have new 50mph signs just about everywhere

At this rate I might as well get a push bike

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Could always get one of these and still have the LR brand

And plenty more speeding fine opportunities too!

It is unfortunate that drivers today do not match their speed to road/driving conditions which means that gov have to step in and nanny us. .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember
Volvo V70 P2 2006 2.4 Petrol 170bhp Estate SE
MG Midget Mk1 1962

Previous: L322 Range Rover TDV8 3.6 2008; L322 Range Rover TD6 3.0 2002; P38A Range Rover V8 1999

Are you kidding? More like it's a shame the government persist in seeing motorists as a cash cow, and using speeding fines as a way to relieve us of cash!

all to do with road safety. They turned off all the speed cameras for a while in Oxfordshire where I left, then I believe the turned them on pretty quick under pressure from central government, before anybody could realise that traffic casualties had fallen since the cameras were switched off!  Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

Fitting these instead of airbags would help!

 

I stick to the speed limit however stupid I think it is hence my clean licence

However I am constantly put at risk by idiots overtaking me - usually in the new 20, 40 and 50 limits because they are frustrated by them

I bought my son a Lr bike - I have spent more on repairs than I paid for it - at least anything Lr is consistent  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

A brilliant move and 40 yrs overdue.
Just been tailgated at 40mph in pouring rain down a winding narrow country lane for 5 miles by what passes for an intellecutal around here in rural kent - a RangeRover driver.
It won't stop people like him, but might just put the law on the right side of sensible for a change.

I can just imagine what sort of person wrote that comment, really gets on my nerves

Fav comment so far

This legislation will ruin my livelihood.
I rely on being able to drive at speed through country lanes and backstreets to earn a living.

Who is going to employ a getaway driver limited to 40mph???
