See http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/36984. Around here, we have lots of places with a 30mph speed limit and speed bumps every few yards. They need to make their minds up; is the limit 10mph or 30mph So I understand, councils can put speed bumps down as they like and I feel their use is excessive. I accept there are nutters out there, who drive with no regard for anyone else (A local farmer tells me that some yobbs are now deliberately running sheep down ) but why should all of us have to suffer because of them

I know what you mean about the double standards... On the one hand we're meant to drive progressively, forward-thinking to avoid heavy acceleration/deceleration to maintain good fuel economy & reduce harmful emissions; on the other, if you do that everywhere there's bumps you're going to get a ticket for obstructing traffic and/or "without due care" despite that being the very reason you're crawling - to maintain due care of the vehicle!

I find most bumps to be wastes of tarmac, as I can either straddle them in the big car or ignore them in the hydragas cars!

Signed it for you Martin.

Me too

Thanks folks.....now if we get one hundred thousand, can we expect common sense in the House of Commons I heard this morning that Cardiff Council are now removing speed bumps On that basis, Blaenau Gwent should start removing them in about 2050.
