MODERATORS
It says something that you feel the need to be hyperbolic in saying '15 seconds' when in reality, say 35 instead of 20mph to go a few miles would differ by minutes. And it is only a few minutes, but somehow you couldn't reason with that to make your own self righteous point.
Why are you driving SEVERAL MILES through a 20mph zone?! They are only found in residential areas, on roads that don't go anywhere except someone's home or some kid's school. You spend maybe two minutes on these roads. Pull your head out of your trunk.
Not in Wales, you can do entire journeys on a 20 mph limit since the change.
Actually, lowering the speed limit decreases the time it takes to get to your destination. Lowering the speed limit reduces the need for traffic control measures like traffic lights and will increase your average travel speed.
There's a good video from NotJustBikes that explains this very well: https://youtu.be/JRbnBc-97Ps
