hate crime,

Hate crime = thought crime.

 

[Scouse]

I say cyclists should be under licence to be there too.

That's because you're a bitter old man.

1 death a year on average caused by cyclists.

2000 deaths, many multiples of that injuries, many more that from pollution and all of the environmental devestation of the automobile industry.

It's just bitter asshattery of some members of the public - in the same way that many would like to give vegans a kicking. (Mainly because a number of vegans are holier than thou, so we get to hate them all).

Motorways to trial 60mph limits to cut pollution

The speed limit will be reduced in Witton, Rotherham, Eccles and Oldbury.

www.bbc.co.uk

dont need speed lowered. Need it raised haha

What if you’ve got an electric car?

Then yr a wanker

The big problem with reducing motorway speeds to 60 to fight pollution is that the biggest polluters are the trucks, that can't go above 60 anyway. It's going to reduce nothing... It might even make things worse in some areas if it starts to cause more tailbacks. I agree that something needs to be done, I'm just not convinced that's the right step to take.

Yeah, I don't understand how driving for longer helps reduce pollution.

 

[Embattle]

It doesn't really work that way:

Do lower speed limits on motorways reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions?

Introducing lower speed limits on motorways is expected to cut both fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. The exact benefit depends on a number of factors, however, including both technological effects such as the fall in energy consumed when decreasing speed, and non-technological factors...

[Raven]

Motorways should have the top speed increased to 90 on the outside lane.

 

[Gwadien]

The de-gentrification of trains should be a priority.

 

[DaGaffer]

All the emissions damage is taking place in urban driving; messing around with motorway limits will do fuck all.

Incentivizing people out of diesels, and quickly, would be a far more effective strategy.

Then how does it work because my car is far more fuel efficient on a motorway than any other type of diving

 

[Gwadien]

I always thought accelerating quickly was the worst thing, but cruising at any speed is OK.

It takes more fuel to keep at 70 than keep at 60 because of friction and air resistance. But you are right acceleration to get there will burn more fuel.

 

[Embattle]

There are many variables involved with the ideal speed for the best mpg, in general however if everything was equal it wouldn't happen at 70 mph but even worse is people tend to read 70 mph as 80 mph.

That link literally says:

Interestingly, the most fuel-efficient roads in the country are not quiet extra-urban dual carriageways or 20mph city streets, they are motorways. This is where you can leave the car in top gear and gently cruise along, using minimal fuel.

So we're still targeting the wrong thing. Roads need to be better designed to improve traffic flow.

 

[Embattle]

I'm not saying there aren't other aspects to improving MPG and pollution but I'm also not not going to deny that 70 mph in majority of cars isn't the most fuel efficient speed either.

 

[Moriath]

Iirc most cars are most fuel efficient cruising at around 56 mph. But even at 70 or 80 its still better than constant break accelerate of urban driving.

personally on the motorways i usually cruise around 84 or something.

A new offence of causing serious injury by careless driving is also being proposed under new legislation.

I saw an article yesterday how murderers that are children will get life sentences in the future.

Now this.

Good?

You know, the law is there for a reason. If you break it and kill somebody - guess what - Prison.

I think some crimes should face the death penalty but you know, ethics are a thing.. (The major crimes)
