Obviously not...the speed limit alone is a deterrent for most people.

The MP has a difficult time enforcing the current laws on the books. Most importantly the 150 foot rule and DUI!

So the pro speed limit crowd references the poll over and over, and the anti speed limit crowd references the speed study. Flaws in both polls have been exposed and debated here in the recent months.
We've taken a poll here which yielded a vastly different result than the one in Manchester....
The speed limit study (no matter how you add/subtract/divide/multiply) shows that under 1% of the sample study were exceeding the propsed limits.
In conclusion, I ask you - what problem is the speed limit addressing?
