20 MPH not a legally enforceable speed limit
A radio was talking about speed limits and the fact that 20 MPH is not a legally enforceable speed limit and effectively means even someone drive over 30 mph is not committing an offence. So in effect, the police would have to find a different offence.
When it is agreed a limit should be 20mph be should become a legally enforceable speed limit.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
20mph speed limits are legally enforceable, so no change in the law is required.
