Ah yes, that.
Being billed all over the news as a casualty of the weather - something I'm sure anyone familiar with that road will raise their eyebrows over.
It's the main dual carriageway into and out of Plymouth city centre. It used to be a 70, then a 60, then a 50 and most recently a 40 - every year somebody drives down it in the middle of the night at an absolutely ridiculous speed and then crashes, usually taking out a petrol station or a few street lights and normally themselves as well.
The council respond by saying how much speed kills and lowering the speed limit - again - because of course if you do 120 in a 50 you'd do 40 if it was a 40.
Obviously its unfair to speculate on what happened but does that really look like the mess you get when you hit standing water at 40mph?
Or does it look like what you might expect if some chap who thinks he's invincible in the wet because he has a 4WD Impreza Turbo goes bombing down the dual carriageway at... well, you make your mind up what speed. The road in question will have been virtually deserted at 2.45am and the area by the allotments is pretty straight.
I'll be more than a little miffed if we get ANOTHER limit reduction after this. That road is already tediously slow as Dolph will agree.
