I'd have a day off work for Fred West as long as I didn't have to observe anything. St. Jude is particularly appropriate though, as he is the patron saint of desperate situations and lost causes.

Aren't a lot of motorways specifically cambered on bends so that you turn most safely at 65-75mph, and going below that is as bad as going above it?

Going below wouldn't hurt when it comes to turning, the danger comes from the difference in speed between slow and fast moving vehicles. It's just frustrating that campaign groups and politicians seem to focus solely on speed at the expense of say, spatial awareness and proper observation.

As a petrolhead, the way to help the environment in my eyes is to remove the need for a car in the first place. If people could afford to live near their workplace rather than having to commute an hour each way because houses cost way too much where all the jobs are, that would take care of a big chunk of it right there.

Blanket reductions in speed limits will do gently caress all.

Not sure an 11 hour school day is very sensible.

How about keep bank holidays and don't have them count towards your time off, keep lunch breaks, and extend the weekend by 2 extra days? While working no extra hours. While also increasing the minimum wage so that such hours are affordable.

(Also, speaking as someone who has regularly had a 2 hour each way commute, the idea of having to do it 6 days a week makes me want to barf. I'd much rather working longer hours on fewer days than more days but less hours each day. If I had to do a 12 hour day in order to do 3 day weeks I absolutely would without hesitation. Longer weekends also means more money in my pocket at the end of the month because those days off are days I'm not having to pay Stagecoach for their lovely bus service.)

I used to do three 14 hour days and then either 4 days off or 3 days off with a 6 hour shift when I used to be a bartender.

Best work/life balance I've ever had.

High speed roads like autobahns and (I'm assuming, but nothing about British build standards would surprise me) motorways are supposed to have a superelevated camber on turns, like so for a right turn:


You're supposed to be going at the right speed for the turn otherwise you'd find yourself drifting out (too fast) or in (too slow).

I have no idea how this works for the motorways around London. You get out and walk?

Presumably this would only work with Pope Innocent X onwards (Popes before him be all Crom-who?) but we might have something here.

Superelevation like that allows for higher speeds but wouldn't have any impact at lower speeds unless it was velodrome-steep. Going slower has other safety benefits, specifically greater perception time and reduced stopping distance.
