Lower Speed Limits = More Speeding

[Dingfod]

Speeding is up 800% since Irish government lowered the speed limit by 10 mph. And they're surprised?

Duh!

The study has reportedly found that the number of motorists breaking the speed limit on regional roads has increased from an estimated 8% in 2003 to an estimated 63% in 2005.

This would appear to indicate that many drivers are ignoring the new lower speed limit of 80kph (50mph) introduced last year.
