AggieDave 6 #3 November 20, 2006 It'll be interesting to see how that turns out. I'm also curious to know about the amount of traffic they have in those cities as well. Sounds like it comes down to people being curtious to each other on the road to make that work. Not sure how well that would work in the US, atleast right now.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StreetScooby 5 #6 November 20, 2006 No, speed limits still apply. Plus, the UK makes liberal use of those machines that take pictures of speeders.We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #7 November 20, 2006 it's very interesting. I wonder how a similar policy affecting other areas of life would work. for example, if some of the extra rules of our society were removed, would the government-coerced order be replaced voluntarily by the citizens becoming more responsible. considerate & civic-minded?

If we get rid of the speed limits AND the cameras all will be good. No question mark on that one.I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
