I don't know the first thing about cars, but could you not find a speed below 30 that your car will drive smoothly at? 30 is the limit, not a target.

I'm sure they would (and I'm sure they do). That doesn't make it any less of a disgrace that these taxi drivers are doing it. I'm not being prejudiced against taxi drivers, anyone who condones speeding in this manner is a dirtbag.

I'm not sure why you've quoted me seeing as your post does nothing to discredit what I said earlier.

Doing 'a bit' over 30kmph is NOT speeding

In a 30kph zone, yes it is.

I think the first people to admit the speed limit is a joke is the guards. Fair play to this guy.
Didn't they get rid of it in places because it was so slow?

trying to drive smoothly at 30 is a nightmare, I can only assume whoever came up with that brilliant idea is not a motorist.

I can go over 30KMH on my bike, This camera was at the bottom of a hill. Try keeping a car at that speed, it causes mayhem around you with other motorists.

Isn't the speed limit there to get motorists to slow down, rather than just punish them for going over it?

I think the Garadai should get a load of these sigsn made up and just get plain clothes lads to hold them up all over the city.

Job done

Its a ridiculous limit. If the limit was 10kmph would you say the same?
