I can cruise as low as 13mph
20mph residential speed limit (replacing 30mph)

My car, my wife's car and my previous car were all a one and done button to set cruise.
I'd forgotten about this until I took my bike over the border last week. Trying to maintain 20mph on a motorbike is definitely a pain in the arse and did require much more glancing at the Speedo than I was particularly comfortable with.

Oddly enough I drove through a 20mph area yesterday and found it effortless. 20mph was 1k rpm in 4th, not an issue
It's car dependent. My wifes car is really not happy in 4th at an indicated 20mph as it's basically idle speed. 3rd is doable but it's still only about 1100 RPM & the slightest touch of the throttle sees the speed creep up to 25ish.
Realistically, if you want to hold 20mph, it's 2nd gear.
I was replying to the previous post simply stating that his experience will not be universal.

Obviously cause he has a big engine car than can sit at 1k rpm unlike a 3 cylinder
Obviously, hence why I stated "It's car dependent"......

So it's been a while since the 20mph came in. Over 9/10 drivers in my area still drive at 30. So I've hardly seen any impact.
Car is much better at 30 than 20.
20 is higher revs and a gear down.
30 is 1800 and 20 is about 2200 rpm
Doesn't take much change in throttle around 20 for the gear changing up and down either.

Pointless post then ?
It's a discussion about 20mph limits & how much of a pain in the **** they are isn't it? Her car isn't really happy at 20mph full stop unless you want to drive everywhere at 2K RPM in 2nd.
Are people not allowed opinions that you disagree with?
You seem to care, you keep replying.

I’ll ask the kids skull about how much of a pain it is hitting them in 4th rather than 3rd ?

As mentioned above it can be car/vehicle dependant - some of the work vans have a huge amount of low range - you really need to rev em out to get up to speed any time soon but will sit happily at 20 in the middle of the appropriate gear, other vehicles not so much.

If you can't drive at 20 in a 20 you shouldn't be ******* driving!
Clearly everyone can, the question is, should the limit even be 20?
