car crash we passed today

Caught on my dashcam this afternoon on the way to the hospital




when will they ever learn, this road is marked up as 60mph when 20mph is really the fastest one can go down it

I actually hate going along that road, all twists and blind bends. That is just a small section of it and the go like the want to meet their maker, absolutely crazy speeds. wouldn't surprise me if he even tried to overtake

Re: car crash we passed today

It will be posted at 60 because that is the national speed limit for single carriageways in the UK.

Re: car crash we passed today

Here you go:


'Speed limits are generally 30mph in urban areas, 60mph on main single-carriageway roads and 70mph on dual carriageways and motorways'.


I agree, it is inviting trouble on a country lane like that though.
You'd never stop in time if a couple of cyclists or horse riders were around the next bend.

Re: car crash we passed today

That road looks like a three lane motorway compared to some of the roads here in Devon. I agree, the National speed limit is way out of date and needs to b changed. 30/40 on country roads and 80 on certain stretches of motorway.

Re: car crash we passed today

I live in a country area and the way a lot of the idiots drive around here never ceased to amaze me and it seems to be getting worse too...

I had a Mercedes saloon flash his lights at me to speed up as we came into our village last week, so I dropped my speed to about 20 mph and let him sit there until I turned off. Good job I don't have a tow bar or he'd have been hooked on it he was that close...

Re: car crash we passed today

We get a car crash locally about once a week and it's nearly always young drivers who think they are at Le Mans but unfortunately, can't handle the car as well as they would like to think. No one ever stops them though.
