Are We Properly Preparing Our Young Drivers?

2 be honest the only figures i would use to see how it would be effected, would be ireland, as here roads are as close as you will get to the isle of mans roads,

 

the fact there is more out of town, might not just be because of linits, the fact theres less traffic might be most of it,

 

Ireland has a national speed limit of 60mph on A roads. If their roads are as close as you can get to IOM roads, why do you think they have 60mph limits and we don't?

Slim the only reason we don't is because its what attracts 1000's of visitors to the island, thats money into the economy and money is worth more than lives obviously!

 

Its slowly going to become a national limit (take a look at ballamoda being a 60mph or richmond hill all the way to fairy bridge being a 50mph zone), on roads straighter than the mountain!, if TT and MGP was stopped the roads would turn to 60mph limits overnight, but currently the island is the "racing capital of the world"....

 

But speed limits won't stop the idiots, it just hits the majority of drivers who perhaps do 70-80mph on the mountain, daily without a problem and treat unrestricted zone as "a speed suitable for conditions" as opposed to "ohh unrestricted, foot down!"..
