It has cost £33 millon pounds! Spend that on NHS cancer screening, childrens early years stuff, the list goes on. Now how many lives will you save?? Wales is small in pop, so that is a big amount of money. They should have spent less and rolled out – expanded 20MPH zones as they have been doing so historicaly.It looks like the return on the £33 million is pretty good though (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/sep/15/wales-is-bringing-in-a-20mph-speed-limit-why-and-what-will-happen):
Opponents say the scheme will cost the Welsh economy £4.5bn. Is that true?The figure comes from a Welsh government report, which makes it awkward for Labour. The cost is for a 30-year period and the government now says it may not be accurate as it takes into account the impact of every single journey – even if it is just a trip to, say, the local park. It prefers to highlight the cost of introducing 20mph – £32m. It says the policy could save the NHS £92m every year so the initial outlay will swiftly be covered.
Financially, that makes it look like a no-brainer.

Wow, 2.9mph drop in average speed, I hope it was worth it? As now Wesh labour has handed the keys to the Senedd to whoever can make political headway on this “wedge issue”, it’s a gift to both Plaid, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems. This is a vanity project that will morph into a poison chalice, and it isn’t just Welsh Labour who will pay the price for this, but all who live in Wales. Partially if the party led by RT Davies gain the most traction on this issue.2.9mph drop seems quite effective to me. As I live in England, I don’t have a strong opinion on this change, though anything that reins in out-of-control drivers generally gets a thumbs up from me. The crucial point though, apart from the so-called political wedging is how many lives will it save? Let’s not forget one of the main reasons that this has been seen as necessary.

That’s lucky that it only hit someone in a car as it could have been very nasty to a pedestrian etc. I hope she recovers quickly from that
I think it’s been gnawed away from within, possibly sapped by too many (not very well hidden) nuts.
I really hope the site issues they have been having over the last few days isn’t down to a code change to push adverts to subscribers!I doubt it as I’ve got my browser to ignore as many ads as possible, so that wouldn’t be slowing me down (haven’t noticed new ads appearing either).
hawkinspeter will no doubt correct me if this story is in the wrong column (squirrel with a mortar board on or something). Little does he know that I can’t remember why I decided on CCIB…

Whether he was being truthful
Whether he was being truthful or not, he shouldn’t be allowed to drive again.
If you black out and as a result of that, other people lose their lives, then you cannot be proven to be a safe driver and should never drive again.
“Ah, medical episode, mind how you go sir”. This whole “it was a medical episode” is starting to wear a bit thin for me.PS This was back in June – good luck if you need hospital this week.
Well the driver was found unconscious, so I’m inclined to believe it was a medical episode.
However, drivers should have their licences revoked if they suffer a medical episode until it’s either diagnosed and rectified or they have a minimum time (a year or three) without any symptoms before they are allowed to drive again.
From World BollardsThose bell-shaped bollards don’t mess about, do they?
The last para makes no sense“Please be advised that, in order to access the Royal Mail car park, the route must be clear for you to drive straight in as waiting on either the road or pavement would place you in contravention of the restrictions.”
This would equally apply to anyone wanting to drive over a dropped kerb to their house and waiting for peds to clear the way.
Are they seriously suggesting drivers should go up and down until there are no peds ?
They do seem to be

It’s well known as one of the top animes, though despite having had a copy for ages, I’ve just never got around to it.(Just had a quick look and the version I’ve got is a lowly 480p version whereas a 1080p version is available)
