LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
It seems that the Government is considering lowering the national road speed limit on single carriageways from 60mph to 50mph. This is long overdue but it clearly does not go far enough.
Due to their management of our economy, adequate cheap labour will soon be available in order to ensure that every vehicle is preceded by a person carrying a red flag. The resultant speed reduction to walking pace would be a major contribution to road safety and were it to save even one child, it would be worth it.
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas
