And that's precisely why we say that 30km/h should be the urban/village default where motors share with people, with higher exceptions being set where evidentially justified.

We would be happy to critique the response you received.

Well they have far wider aspirations and responsibilities than police. Where there's a will, there can be a way.

Actually the Chief Constable can delegate such powers to a local authority. See www.20splenty.org/how_las_can_...

You are correct.

Its also a huge con trick because any increase of default would require approval of UK Sec of State to increase casualties by 33%. No way could that happen.
