The 20MPH punishments 08:34 - Aug 3 with 140655 views | SullutaCreturned | Well the punishment for breaking the limit, https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/police-confirm-how-punish-drivers- Given how many idiots are on the roads, the delivery drivers under pressure and the actual difficutly in staying below 20 (it is difficult, I do it every week when I go to Cardiff and it's harder than you'd think, specially going downhill) there will be a lot of speeding going on. The Senedd expect the fire brigade to become a road safety unit, how stupid is that? The fire brigade have their job and it's hard enough for them to do that the way the Senedd behaves. Then there's the pollution problem, all those cars tootling around in second gear will fill the streets with pollution, it'll rise and rise and the few accidents stopped by this madness will be replaced tenfold and more in the years to come by serious health issues, those with asthma can look out, better buy your respirators now. I wonder if cancers will also increase? By the time we have all gone electric, assuming we all do, thousands of lives will be blighted by illness. | | | | |

This was the problem, the guidleines don't seem to have been followed very well, they changed a lot of roads that didn't need changing. Lifelong says it's the law and they have a duty to enforce it BUT they can also change the law and make it better! | | | |

I wonder if those who voted from the Falklands will be attending the debate? Long way to travel. | | | |

Do you think that Welsh soldiers currently based on the Falkland islands should not be allowed to sign the petition. | | | |

And as that is obviously stupid maybe it was removed from the petition numbers. They can do that you know, delete obvious fake entries. | | | |

The 20MPH punishments on 17:31 - Apr 25 by Boundy | Yes indeed although do they scrutinise to that detail, they ignore most petitions any way. |
A computer program can flag up anything suspicious, a lot of emails from one IP address would qualify. Put another way, we know there were a lot of entries that weren't really entitled to be included, were they allowed to stand or were they deleted? Does anybody know? | | | |

The 20MPH punishments on 07:00 - May 3 with 707 views | Dr_Winston | I am liking the narrative that despite basically everyone (other than a strange few) I've ever discussed the 20mph rule with thinking that it's an idiotic idea, the petition with half a million signatures on it is apparently worthless because of a few thousand votes that came from outside Wales. | |

What I find very strange is that some drivers, despite over 4000 people a year being injured on our roads, regard our roads as being extremely safe. When you look at the stats UK wide almost 140,000 people a year are injured on the roads with about 1800 being killed 80 of which being children. Never mind though some people reckon that 4 members of the public every 5 years are killed by cows every year in the UK, a fair comparison I suppose. | | | |

Have you compared these figures against the journeys made, the duration, and distances travelled, if you did I think you'll find that our roads are safe and safer that a lot of other countries . Every day you wake up you are at risk of something happening to you , you have control of some of those risks the majority you don't . | |

Go tell that to the families of those 80 children, who’s lives have been devastated for the remainder of their lives. | | | |

ALL are roads are “ safe” ,that is ,until the clowns in their boxes of steel come along supine in their belief that they are “ good “ drivers. Even after 70 pages,nobody really seems to grasp what is most aposite when it comes to ro@d safety. The reason we are seeing exchanges as we are is the very reason why people get slaughtered on the roads. Every driver is an expert ,every driver blameless . | |

These people seem to think that all danger can be eliminated from life, and all you have to do is inconvenience millions of people based on statistically negligible risks. | |

There is some truth in most of that . I am off to deepest Wales next week so I might come back with views not dissimilar to yours . | |
