"ARWadsworth" gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying:

Tameside council website says

Speed limits are in place for a very good reason - to inform
motorists of the safest maximum speed for a stretch of road.

What a load of ********.

Most of my commute is on roads where a fraction of the limit is too fast
- even in ideal road and traffic conditions. On some stretches, barely a
quarter of the limit is as fast as is appropriate.

Equally, on other stretches of road, the limit is far lower than an
otherwise safe and appropriate speed would be.
