Utterly pointless. risk mitigation, they know you arent going at 10mph but at the same time if you skid off and smash your car up you'll be greeted with a shrug of the shoulders and a "we did tell you" its the foundation of health and safety 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its bad enough when you come off the freeway after doing 110ks and have to slow down to 50ks, and thats not even for road works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is slowing down to 20mph on a dual carriageway, new road surface or not. Ah well now, "resurfacing" can mean many things. Tarmac etc etc which I agree would be ridiculous to do 10 or 20mph on. But what you've pictured above is 'loose chippings' and you do need to go slowly on those as you can easily smash oncoming windscreens if you're going a decent speed. There's little worse than some word removed coming towards you on loose chippings at 50mph and peppering the paintwork of your car with stones. I've had a cracked windscreen from one before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse than that, over here there's a section of road linking our N3 (national road, 1 level below motorway) to our M50 (yes a motorway) and this section is 30km/h. Yes that's 18mph with no road works. It's not just stupid, it's dangerous because if you were to actually DO 18mph on that section you'd cause a **** accident. It goes from N3 @ 80km/h to 30km/h to M50 @ 100km/h. Now everyone knows how to use that bit of road, but what pisses me off is that there's nothing stopping piggy some day from just rocking up with a hair dryer and doing people for speeding in what is a completely unworkable speed limit.

You can choose whether to link the alarm volume to the phone ringer volume, or not to do that. Quote Set the alarm's volume Tap Settings > Sounds & Haptics. Under Ringers And Alerts, drag the slider left or right. As you drag, an alert will play, so you can hear how the volume changes. Using the Volume buttons on the side of your iPhone won't change the alarm's volume unless you turn on Change with Buttons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
