That part of the Parkway is not suitable for average speed cameras.  They are usually placed at one mile intervals and given that the stretch from the Handsworth junction to the Motorway is less than two miles long and people will be braking for J31 about half a mile out from the roundabout you would probably see very few drivers averaging over 55 mph on that stretch.  Apart from teenage boys, most drivers drive at speed over long distances. They don’t usually go flat out for less than a mile before having to brake for a junction or a roundabout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

We were specifically talking about times when there was no good reason to drive slowly though weren't we. You are impeding traffic if you're travelling at 50 on the motorway in light or moderate traffic with no inclement weather. 2 hours ago, PRESLEY said: Everybody cant drive at 70mph at the same time.

Pettytom   1 #107 Posted July 9, 2019 7 hours ago, Cyclone said: That's because it's clearly just a nonsense phrase. High acceleration impacts or bits of car making holes in your body kill you. Blunt force trauma or exsanguination. Speed doesn't do a damn thing. Nor does speed alone determine the likelihood of having an accident, or motorways would be the most dangerous roads in the country, and yet they aren't. Inappropriate speed increases the risk of an accident, and you drive at an inappropriate speed on several types of road. Actually, it is rapid deceleration that kills. Basic physics really.  More basic physics: the higher the speed the higher the potential for rapid deceleration. Therefore, speed does kill.

Cyclone   10 #108 Posted July 10, 2019 No such thing as deceleration, being pedantic, it's just acceleration with a particular vector. Potential doesn't do anything, that's why it's a potential. QED speed doesn't kill. If you want more proof, think about how fast we're rotating on the surface of the earth, think about how fast we orbit the sun, think about how fast the sun is moving within the galaxy. Speed is not harmful in any way. 9 hours ago, PRESLEY said: 321, your back in the room. Is this an admission that you can't explain...
