Killing speed kills planet
If the speed limit is reduced on certain secondary roads from 90kph to 80kph and I drive within that limit, I – plus, no doubt, thousands of others – will be doing our bit extra to destroy our planet, because I drive a diesel-engined automatic vehicle.
When I drive at 85kph my car is in overdrive. Dropping to 80kph will mean I will have to drive in a lower gear, which means higher revs and more pollution.
Why don’t the politicians look at all the options before taking decisions that have not been properly thought out?
