Speed limits are in place for safety, it's not up to us to alter them. My point is that we need more time to cope and to stop so many drivers speeding. More running time = less rushing around.

The more time spent rushing, the more bumps and issues for drivers. This is a very serious and real issue, which is experienced when someone ends up being hurt, or worse.

I honestly don't believe what I'm seeing you say and advocating speeding or driving "with a heavy foot". It's disappointing to say the least that this has to be explained.

In the case of the X21 I was talking about drivers actually driving the speed limit, it's probably because they don't know the roads as well as the Crook drivers, but some of them drive infuriatingly slow. 

As for the 20 zone in Whickham, I don't believe that it needs to be a 20 zone all the way through, some parts definitely, but the majority of it should still be a 30.

I wasn't advocating speeding, just that I'm indifferent whether people speed or not, and I used the term "with a heavy foot" to juxtapose the next point about drivers dawdling, not to take literally.
I actually really dislike going fast, I much prefer fast acceleration to raw speed
