The more I write and read about law and lore, the more they seem the same.

In general terms: passing a law against something is no more effective, by itself, than casting a spell against something.

Just as they are where a similar policy has been employed in Wales.
Child casualties almost halved, child deaths down by 3/4…

All the other stats don’t really matter
Study on London 20 mph limits shows:
- collisions ⬇️ 35%
- casualties ⬇️ 36%
- fatal/serious injuries ⬇️ 34%
- child casualties ⬇️ 46%
- child deaths ⬇️ 75%
- walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists killed/seriously injured ⬇️ 28%

What’s that you say? Driving a ton of metal slower means you are less likely to hit other people or other things, and if you do hit them less likely to cause injuries to yourselves or others. And this is popular? Well I never.

Welsh Tories and Reform may like to reflect🤷
Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?
Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minority
