Doctors call for reduction of 50 mph speed limit. freemedicaljournols.com/Doctors consulting The government as there has been a sharp increase in EPISTAXIS (nose bleed) due to some drivers not being able to coupe with the increased speed.the idear is to cut the speed to 40 mph,it would then be increased by 1 mph over the next 5 years.some of the bigger company’s have said that they would participate in order to train there drivers to drive at the speed of 50 mph on A roads and up to 56 on motorways.they also said there would not be any pay cuts due to finishing the planed route early,and having to do another. One doctor said it was unfair the gov just increased the speed limit with out formal training. They are laying out guide lines for a new driver assessment and will be calling back all company driver passports that have been issued
Is it April the 1st? 
A load of ■■■■■■■■.
Yesterday I followed a milk tanker along the A52 that was doing 38. So must have been about 35 on his tacho/speedo. He couldn’t argue he was driving to conditions. A wide sweeping section of road. Just dawdling.
Also the other day on A16 past Cowbit. Artic doing 37-38. Some clearly never got the memo.

No, but I’ve moved it to where it belongs. 
Actually whilst cocooned in your vehicle your speed is the same as if you where standing still, try throwing a ball up in the air whilst driving and it won’t disappear on to your bunk (unless you throw like a girl), course if you climb on the cab roof and do it that’s a different matter, (please don’t try this as it’s frowned upon in elf and safety circles).
It’s only when external forces come into play that your speed becomes relative.
Please don’t call me on this as I haven’t a clue what I’m on about, but seems legit.

its not all about you you know
I’ve not suffered any nosebleeds since the limit was raised but I put that down to my prior training for a space mission.
