Greece Will Lower Speed Limits, Raise Penalties for Road Violations
Notorious for ignoring traffic rules, Greeks will soon find themselves subject to drastically reduced speed limits in populated areas under a revised code being devised by the Transport and Infrastructure Ministry.
That was proposed by the newly-established Committee for Road Safety to put the country in accordance with other European Union member states and will see the speed limit cut from 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles) to 30 kilometers (19 miles) with no word how it would be enforced in those areas.

Boris Johnson fails to deny plans to cut back on pensions
Boris Johnson has failed to deny that the government is considering dropping the pensions triple-lock to help pay for the recovery from Covid.
The prime minister was speaking after reports that chancellor Rishi Sunak is considering suspending the measure - under which state pensions rise in line with the highest of prices, average wages or 2.5 per cent - for a year in order to avoid a bumper hike as pay soars in the wake of the pandemic.
And reports today suggested the Treasury are considering cutting the pensions lifetime allowance or tax reliefs or introducing new taxation on employer contributions to bring down the ever-mounting bill.
