Thumbs down National Speed limit to 50mph?

It seems that its April fools day every day here in the UK

Check this link out, the government seems to be planning a move to reduce single carriage way roads to 50 MPH.

Road speed limit cut to 50mph

Isn't it time we stopped bowing to the bad drivers and started educating them rather than penalising all the drivers?

I think it might be time for an e-petition...

There is only one obvious reason the government are planning on this stupid idea.

Purely to make more money of us.
