    The law is the law, so there's little ground for complaint if you're in the wrong. However, it does annoy me that just reducing limits left, right and centre is assumed to somehow equate to improving safety. I'd rather ride my bike down a road with cars travelling at 40mph and the driver's paying attention than at 30 and not paying attention.

    Why would the drivers be paying attention at 40 and not 30:confused:

    I'm pointing out the difference between speed and paying attention and why one doesn't imply the other.
