Do lower speed limits result in lower speeds?

Not always. In Halstead speeds increased when we changed the limit from 40mph to 30mph. In Quorn vehicle speeds came down when we raised the speed limit from 30mph to 40mph.

Don't get me started lol, we'll be onto Londonderry & Southern Ireland next

No amount of new traffic laws are going to make much difference, its all about training & attitude.

As my yanky mates often say, "stand back, take time to smell the flowers"

Best Wishes

i do agree it is about attitude. but today

i had to get home as there had been an accident 1 yr old slid down the stairs 3 yr old left gate open and yer an just dived through it, she was hysterical and i had to get home quickly, i do go over the limit but when i notice i drop back. but today not a chance in hell was i slowing down when i could see, it was a case of if i got pp ok but my childs welfare was more important, it may seem like a lame excuse but when its your kids then you go into autopolit.
