Interesting. People see it as their right to go a certain speed. Personally, I see my responsibility on the roads is to not to kill someone or have an accident, so I temper my speed accordingly. I still firmly believe that speed limits do nothing at all - making people aware of what they're doing has the greatest effect. I read somewhere that 75% of all people who took extra driver training after their test didn't have another accident. But I'm buggered if I can remember where I read it now. Probably at one of the courses I attended myself.

50 limits probably won't effect car drivers too much anyway, congestion is spreading....

If you own a motorbike, you might aswell sell it. How could you possibly enjoy going 50mph with average speed cameras on your favourite twisties?

That's some seriously crap journalism from the Times. They have two articles up on the same subject, one of which says ministers are 'looking at' the change and the other one (in the first post) says that the speed limit will be cut and will take effect as early as next year.

There's a good press release from the Association of British Drivers on this:

Am i correct in thinking such a laser could be made from my old PC's disk burner and a high voltage battery?

Considered using a circular saw for a while,not sure on the power required by a speed camera though, dont really fancy cutting through a high power cable.

I'll stick with black bags and gaffa tape for now

“But when you compare that to the fact we are killing 3,000 people a year on our roads, it would be irresponsible not to do something about it. I’m sure that the vast majority of motorists would support the proposals.”

This sort of bullshit makes me laugh.

These average speed cameras are being put up on the stretch of the M5 i travel to work on. The speed limit there right now is 50mph, they are on temporary signs but it is worrying.
So far ive been travelling past them at about 80-90mph and no letter yet.

50mph is bullshit.

Hit a human being with 1-3 tonnes of vehicle at anything over 40mph and that person will not be winning any marathons. End of.

3000 people killed on the roads is a small number as it is.
Take into account the people driving, drunk
Driving emergency service vehicles
The people who drive cars with a 0-1 star N-cap rating
The people distracted before a crash (mobiles, animals, pedestrians, big tits)
Diesel spills
The list goes on...

You end up with a lot less than 3000 people dead due to speed alone. And speed or not, no one is 'OK' with non speed related death in the family.

Looks as though its going to be expensive and boring for the lawful and track days/jail for the rest..well i say lawful i meant those following company policy

[Phoenix]

They recently resigned the country road that runs to where I work from NSL to 50mph, there's absolutely no reason to do it, I traveled it twice a day for the last 2years nearly and never seen one accident, the company runs trucks up and down it all day long so would know if there' accidents along there. There's only one house along the whole 3miles and the vast majority is double whites due to a few hills and corners.

Are we sure we're killing 3000 people ont the roads each year, are the vast majority of them not killing themselves, and if the cars involved had been doing 50 would they all still be alive, total crap.

I'm sick to death of the endless bombardment of adverts on the radio at the moment telling you what to do, the dead kid following you around adverts, the having sex without a condom adverts, the im scared my mummy's going to die of cancer smoking advert, the you wouldn't start a night like this advert, the dvla will hunt you down and eat you advert, the tv licencing authority will tear you a new one if you evade them advert They Live
