  1. We have one village high street nearby that has a 20mph limit for about a mile. It is almost impossible to not exceed that unless I keep my car in second gear, which is not good for the gearbox at all as it wants me to change up and the indicator for gear change on the dashboard flashes constantly.
    Having to drive at that speed all day in a big city is going to be good news for mechanics and car dealers!
    Cheers, Pete.
