The 'furrows' in the mo-way surface are handy if your wheels fit, a little like a railway, vehicle tends to run 'down' a camber, so will always be straightened up automatically .... conical section wheels, or why railway stock
generally does not use the wheel flanges to stay on track
I believe governing all cars to 60 max would eventually be an enjoyable exercise. A fair bit of stress would be removed at a stroke ... No loonies gaining a place on the bypass at 100 in 50 limit !!
I remember the 50 limit being introduced way back in the 60's, various factions up in arms lots of bluster etc... little or no mo-ways then, idiot overtaking happening everywhere. After the 50 limits installed, people began talking of the pleasure of driving, with traffic moving in a steady state situation.
Where is the sense in personal transport having no limit to its potential speed bar the depth of a pocket ? Even that doesn't count today, I can go out and buy a second hand 150mph car for less than £10k
zero to someone potentially looking at the lid seconds quicker than most cars on the road, no 'part P' to ensure competent servicing or even any servicing at all ... To sit in traffic jams, then vent ones frustion on the go pedal ? Human nature !!
If the Stats on speed cams are correct, but the overall death rate has increased, it is just possible that the apparent danger spots now with cam have just shifted elsewhere ... perhaps the original danger spot was actually the best of a bad road for overtaking ... stick a cam there, then there remains only the 'worse' spots .. hence overall deaths do not go down.
Get those governors on, then powers that be could play with the speed rate settings at MOT or service times, if deemed necessary.
Of course I am forgetting the motor industry here ... I reckon they had their times in the 60-70's, Look where we are now after feeding the car frenzy in the good old bad old days .. do we learn ?
