I know when I was in my dads car the other day he was sticking to 20mph and got beeped at a dozen times and a couple of people gave him the finger. He seems to have realised that doing 20mph in london isn't really any slower and he gets better on fuel.
@aggi they are using more average speed on motorways and long A roads with few turn offs but in london you just don't get any long enough bits with no traffic lights or anything to make it work well. Have noticed an increase in light jumping+speeding+yellow box all in one cameras, rather nifty that they do all 3 and if people speed up to "make amber" it will flash them for speed instead or if they don't stop it gets that driver who thinks just one more car, which imo gets any of the dangerous ways around that while a speed camera or a light jumping camera alone drivers get to know which they are being watched for and drive to that.
Clockwise-
I think part of the intention for 20 zones is that the cars that do comply will act as rolling roadblocks to keep everyone else's speed down too.
Without trying I can think of half a dozen junctions where, without fail, a car will try to "make amber" and end up going through the pedestrian crossing on the green man. More enforcement would be nice.
A quick google suggests it could be the westway I'm thinking of where they've brought in average speed cameras.

I have not seen any vehicles in London that stick to the 20mph limit.
Is the police still not bothered about people going over 20mph?
