Be patient with those doing 20 Rwanda is not a safe country
I KNEW that it had to happen sooner or later. I have received a letter from GoSafe for exceeding the legal speed limit of 20mph (at 26mph).
Thankfully this is a warning letter and not a prosecution so I must be grateful for that. I am concerned, however, that I find the introduction of the 20mph speed limit has caused me much confusion.
