Yes, but, no but. I'm scratching my head again.......True story - I was on a Speed Awareness course today ( ) and the topic of 20mph limits was brought up.
According to the chap standing at the front with a laser pointer, they're being introduced to "incentivise people to cycle / walk, which ultimately makes everyone healthier and looks after the planet because people won't be driving"
PS. They really don't like it when you start off one of those courses with a "I'm aware I was speeding, I know why I was speeding, does that mean we're done here?" (it used to be a 50mph limit, I saw the camera, checked the car sat nav AND Google Maps, both said it was a 50, so I went through it at 50. Only it was a 40 and I'd missed the limit change sign, so it zapped me at 46. I went back the next day in daylight to check how the hell I'd managed to miss the signs.).
So I ride to Scotland, about 15 miles away to start riding through the 20 mph zone......so far.......at that point I should drop Er'Indoors off and make her walk through the village/town, explaining it's good for er.
Once she has completed the exercise I can jump on my bike, ride to the other end and collect er. Ride 10 miles and repeat. They are knobbers ain't they.
P. S. DON'T SPEED, or if you do don't get caught.
