Theyre planning to lower speed limits - Again !

Story Here

On Wednesday they will issue guidance to councils urging blanket speed limits of 50mph, rather than 60mph, on rural single-carriageway A roads with a history of accidents.

The government also says the standard limit should be 20mph around homes and schools.

I sometimes wonder if govt departments ever speak to each other, there already IS a 20mph limit around most schools. On the A78 the road I use most days you are hard pressed to even reach 50 mph, with roadworks and temporary traffic lights every mile or so.

Then you have the dawdlers, I got landed behind one early yesterday morning driving at 35 in a 60 limit. He was also the only driver on the road without his dipped headlights on !.

New Bentley price revealed

The new Bentley Mulsanne will cost from £220,000 when it goes on sale in the UK in summer 2010, the company has announced today.

Production of Bentley's new flagship, whose £220k price tag includes taxes and delivery charges (awfully decent of them to throw those in), will start at Bentley's Crewe HQ in spring 2010. The first customer deliveries will begin a few months later.
