I'll not be happy until all Edinburgh progresses to this

I don't know what's worse, the rule itself or the patronising way it's being presented to us.
We're being reassured that "this is for the greater good" and "life is better at 20" by the same people who assured us that there were absolutely no potholes on Edinburghs roads a few months ago.
:agree: Did you see the stupid mascot they had out on the streets?Quote:

Impossible to get beyond 3rd gear, so fuel consumption will suffer and presumably emissions will rise. And I'm driving an illegal emissions Skoda anyway that hasn't been recalled as yet so me very bad 😈

How would you even prove this without taking a video of your own speedometer followed by car speeding away and breaking the law doing so?
Absolute lunacy.
Any party that proposes to scrap this or even just scale it back will get my vote in the next council elections.Quote:

Personally, I've found the people who carry this out to be complete NIMBY's with Napoleon syndrome, HOWEVER, if every motorist that is recorded speeding receives a letter from the local community and perhaps slows down a bit next time, that is surely better than 3pts & a fine, or worse,,,,, TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES!
