Speed Limit On Sheffield Parkway Set To Be Cut?

Depending if there is a high volume of traffic on the motorway you somtimes have to go at 50 in the slow lane, less buisier then I go at 60.  I have never been penalised for this and never will be.  Dont tell me how to drive  Ive  been driving 45years no accidents and  no police pulling me over.  So shuvv  your version of  impeding traffic where the sun doesn't shine.

We were specifically talking about times when there was no good reason to drive slowly though weren't we.  You are impeding traffic if you're travelling at 50 on the motorway in light or moderate traffic with no inclement weather.

Everybody  cant drive at 70mph at the same time. Grow up. .  

You've got some really odd ideas haven't you.  Perhaps you can explain why all the cars on the motorway in light traffic can't be doing 70?

Mate got pulled other week for not going fast enough on m62.  Cop asked him if he had a problem with car ,mate replied I’m trying to get max mpg ,cop replied get a move on

That part of the Parkway is not suitable for average speed cameras.

 

They are usually placed at one mile intervals and given that the stretch from the Handsworth junction to the Motorway is less than two miles long and people will be braking for J31 about half a mile out from the roundabout you would probably see very few drivers averaging over 55 mph on that stretch.

 

Apart from teenage boys, most drivers drive at speed over long distances. They don’t usually go flat out for less than a mile before having to brake for a junction or a roundabout.

It's a long enough stretch to reach and stay at 70mph.

The insults can cease. If you wish to attack an argument fine, attacking the poster isn't. Continue with this and you will find your accounts suspended.

That's because it's clearly just a nonsense phrase.  High acceleration impacts or bits of car making holes in your body kill you.  Blunt force trauma or exsanguination.  Speed doesn't do a damn thing.

Nor does speed alone determine the likelihood of having an accident, or motorways would be the most dangerous roads in the country, and yet they aren't.

Inappropriate speed increases the risk of an accident, and you drive at an inappropriate speed on several types of road.

Actually, it is rapid deceleration that kills. Basic physics really. 

 

More basic physics: the higher the speed the higher the potential for rapid deceleration. Therefore, speed does kill.

[Cyclone]

No such thing as deceleration, being pedantic, it's just acceleration with a particular vector.

Potential doesn't do anything, that's why it's a potential.  QED speed doesn't kill.

If you want more proof, think about how fast we're rotating on the surface of the earth, think about how fast we orbit the sun, think about how fast the sun is moving within the galaxy.  Speed is not harmful in any way.

Is this an admission that you can't explain...

I’m fairly sure that you understand basic physics. I’m also fairly sure that you will have some pedantic reason for denying reality.

 

So, let’s just leave it this way. If you aren’t travelling quickly, stopping quickly won’t hurt. On the other hand, if you are travelling quickly, stoping quickly might well hurt or even kill. The quicker you go and the quicker you stop, the more dangerous things become.

 

 

[Cyclone]

Denying reality...  Which bit did you believe was inaccurate in what I said?

 

If you aren't travelling quickly, then you can't stop quickly, I didn't say otherwise.  No, the quicker you go is irrelevant, as you've already acknowledged, it's acceleration that's dangerous, not speed.  And when we talk about roads, it's inappropriate speed that is dangerous and that includes driving too slowly.
