I don't know about others, but I for one find myself often at odds with speed limits now that large swathes of London are 20mph as opposed to my stock assumption of 30mph as a lower bound excluding maybe schools.
There are signposts. I should always be aware of them. I am often not, many years of habit + very infrequent city driving these days tend towards mistakes. I am slightly more aware now - but I anticipate several years before i've internalised the new rules fully
- mrow84 8y agoI have had similar experiences, though I rarely drive in London. However, I would hope that you would accept that, if you were caught speeding, it would be a fair cop, given the clarity of the signage, the rules, etc.? The acceptance of the rule of law really seems to be central to this whole speed camera issue. If you accept that your actions are subject to the law then you will also accept the consequences of any transgressions you make, intentional or otherwise; the mechanism of enforcement is simply irrelevant. An individual may want to be excused from consequence for a particular law, on the basis that they disagree with them (e.g. speeding), but that isn't how the law works, and necessarily so.
