Wales has implemented a controversial 20mph speed limit, with drivers facing fines and points for exceeding 20mph. However, Welsh motorists will only be punished at 26mph due to a relaxation in enforcement threshold. First Minister Mark Drakeford stated that 'genuinely confused' drivers exceeding the limit won't be fined. This has sparked frustration among drivers, with some criticizing the new limit as 'baffling' and 'stupid.' The Welsh Government is accused of 'marking own homework' over the 20mph limit review, prompting a review by one of the policy's architects.
