The Middle Road another island Autobahn,
thankfully everyone is ok
Every day now more utter shit not paying attention crap driving…at least off the road to keep some of us safe.
Every day when driving along, some numpty B’stard
always comes across the white lines in the centre of
the road.
No Fcuker can drive in a straight line, very concerning.
I suggest a visit to Specsavers for Numpty drivers.
More bad driving on the Iow
Does anyone know the actual speed limit on the
Isle of Wight ?
Jersey have a maximum speed limit of 40mph
within built-up areas speed limits are typically
30mph or 20mph, with 15mph designated for
special green lanes
ROAD SIGNS ARE BEING UPDATED IN 2026
TO FURTHER REDUCE MANY 40MPH SPEED LIMITS
TO 30MPH OR 20MPH FOR SAFETY
WHAT IS THE ISLE OF WIGHT AUTHORITIES DOING TO
MAKE ROADS SAFE!!
F All
Jersey is also a third of the size of the island so a completely redundant point right there. Also you weren’t there, you have absolutely no clue what caused the accident. You automatically assume its down to speed when it can easily come down to someone pulling out at the wrong time or even losing control from a blown tire. But of course, you will continue being a crash scene investigator
I am not a crash scene investigator and wouldn’t claim
to be one.
I have no idea how this accident happened, we can
all have a guess though!
I am just stating in general, what is the speed limit
on the Isle of Wight.
The Isle of Wight may be smaller than Jersey
bet speed is speed wherever you are.
I am just stating that maybe the Isle of Wight
authorities might want to set a maximum speed limit
for the Isle of Wight 40mph is ample, some small
electric vehicles only have a maximum speed of 28mph.
Only motorists who speed would be against a 40mph
speed limit islandwide.
Bring it on and make our roads a safer place for
EVERYONE not for the FEW!!
