How about the Home Office? Are dedicated (in as much as they are nowdays) Trafpol at risk? Will we see the end of police driving BMWs?
No more VOSA inspections?
More roadworks (due to less preventative maintenance)? More road deaths due to less enforecement?
Where will it end?

Well, for a start, they can stop wasting money on millions of 50mph speed-limits along rural roads; each requiring repeater signs, embedded posts which must cost a huge amount, and which serve not the slightest purpose because very few drivers go faster than 40mph.
Same for 20mph in urban areas.
Then there are all those stupid flashing smiley signs, which usually break-down within a few months, and require expensive maintenance.
It's one thing installing all these things, but looking after them doubles or trebles the initial cost.
Meanwhile, we have crumbing roads, worn out markings and roads full of pot-holes.
For a long time, there has been financial mismanagement, caused by throwing money at problems instead of solving them.
