In this article on the review of speed limits
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5254926.stm> there is a quote from
Edmund King, of the RAC Foundation
| who said consistency was needed: "We do have some limits on A-roads,
| where there isn't pedestrian or cycle access, where the limit is
| 40mph, whereas in other cases they would be 60mph."
Does anybody have any idea whether he is making a valid point, or is
he just another member of the Mr. Toad lobby who believe that cyclists
are second class road users who have no right to share the tarmac with
motorists.
