Conditions are bullshit when a child runs out into the road right in front of you.
If you hit the child at 40 because you thought 'oh the conditions are great today', do you think they child has a better chance of survival than when you hit it at 20?
They are there for a reason, not as a guide for when you think you can drive better one day than another.

At the end of the day, we only have ourselves to blame. They are there as an attempt to stop speeding.
If we didnt speed in the first place we wouldnt have them.
You shouldnt need to speed anyway, you're in a car or on a bike, you're gonna get somewhere faster at 10mph using transportation than you are walking and without getting knackered. Maybe thats another problem. Get rid of cars, we would'nt have so many fat bastards around.

Jimbondp you clearly have a 50cc mo ped. Try not getting caught on a 1000cc everything is a fuzzy blur apart from the road ahead!

This is immature but you sound like a compleat wanker!

If I saw that parked up there I'd be very tempted to park my van right behind it (so they couldnae see out)

Also I have my doubts whether the trailer meets the standards of the roads vehicle lighting regulations, 1989, regarging numberplate illumination
You'd get pulled and charged for that round here

Unfortunately we have speed limits due to some having no common sense on appropriate speed. Unfortunately too that government now look at it as a cash cow with the drivel that speed kills. Inappropriate speed kills. If the "safety cameras" were there for safety then there would be more warnings on the hazard and the camera would only be there for those too stupid to see the dangers. but you don't see cameras on tight bends outside schools in pedestrianised areas or the like. you see them where judgement can be used to the pace you can set yourself for the prevailing conditions. Open straight dual carriageways that were national speed limits are now 60 mph or even 50mph with a camera in place. but there are no cameras outside any schools with a 20 mph limit and zero tolerance.
I would rather see someone being done for inappropriate speed than just the blanket speeding.

Most roads marked with any given speedlimit are marked for people with reactiosn times simmaler to watching a 90 year old woman playing a 1st person shooter in the mongolian wilderness trying to shoot at you while playing on a 64/64 server hosted by someone on AOL's 256kb service.

Really...its not just case I ride a bike, I can go out in the car and VERY easily take the roads 10-20-30mph above the limit. the roads themselves are safe for much higher speeds unless your the old lady depicted above, driving a 35 year old car thats never been serviced or a complete and utter twat wanker driver.

Speeders arent the ones that need their licence taking away, its the pillocks who dont know what their mirrors are for, who never used the stick on their steering wheel that tell people which direction you intend to go...people who drive acorss two lanes, swerve between two lanes, sit there in a trafic jam holding the car on the cluch (WTF DO YOU THNK YOUR HANDBRAKE IS FOR YOU FUCKING NOB - sorry thats just my pet hate)

The point is that you cant over generalise this thing and say that if you speed your a toser, cause as others have said there are FAR FAR more dangerous things you could be doing yet very little effort is made to deter people from this, How many people do you still see using mobiles. even though that is PROVEN to affect your driving ability.

If you got some independant to look into road trafic accidents that have been atributed to speed, I wander how many of them had other factors, such as a poorley maintained vehicle, the driver wasnt driving fast, he was rushing (theres a differance) or some other contributer, but they look at the skid marks and say oh he was doing 60 in a 40 must have been that.

As for children running out...maybe spend some money on teaching children road safety, Introduce a j-walking law to give road users right of way over pedestrians.

When I was at achool the number of times stop-look-listen was crammed down my throat...these days you see kids intentionally crossing when a car is coming to luagh at them when they have to stop, or they will be fucking about on the pavement and pushing eachother into the road.

Drivers are getting blamed for everythig and we are constantley getting pushed more and more, they are lowering speedlimits in NSL znoes to 40's for no aparent reason. 40's to 20's just cause theres an estate within 2 miles...

Your right I guess. it is our fault. as a whole for drivving like such fucking bellends they have to treat us all like babys. speaking as a whole. And I dont defend bickers in that staement ether, theres a fair few dickhead bickers around aswell.

the point is I guess like any job or task, If you enjoy doing it, you wil do it better. I enjoy driving, I enjoy the speed and knowing that for the most part I am in full control and aware of my surroundings, I know on many a time where Ive spotted something and taken myself out of danger, and then 10 yards down a car pulls out from a blind corner without looking, And you see them look right at you after theyve done it and you know he or she is thinking "Good job that guy was in the other lane or id have hit him" Yea too right you would thats why I moved tard.

and this is all too frequent, I recieved a leaflet from the honda breakdown assistance people advising people to take the IAM or RoSPA advanced tests (which I was planning anyway) and it says stuff like :-

Do you often get caught out by other peoples bad driving.

Do you find yourself haveing close calls as other road users dont see you...

ect...

and afer a few pore points says casually that you yourself may be to blame, if you dont pay attention then how can you avoid other peoples mistakes. I havent ever been in a near miss, Ive had 1 accident envolving annother road user, that was 3 weeks after I got my scooter, I speed and sometimes I speed ALOT, but at all times I am aware of whats going on around me and if at any time I feel things will change I slow down to a speed where >>> I <<< feel safe, not what some suit puts on a speed sign.
this is in opposition to those who drive at 40 mph...everywhere all the time, 40 in 30 zones, 40 in 60 zones...and they dont have a car ein the world, You could ride along side there open window and slap them in the face I doubt they would notice.


Damn I rant alot :-S Sorry for annother one guys, Theres some valid points there if you acctually fancy reading it. Maybe me and jeremy clakson would get on pretty well he seems to go off on one aswell


Oh last point. Heres some advice fo the govenment, if you wanna make money, hide all the cameras, and stop giving points when your done by one. then everyone will relax as their licences arent under threat.
You will probably notice a two fold benefit from that. 1st increced revenue, People wont be as botherd any more and speed more, get caught more and thus pay more in fines. Like a fast drivers tax, you pay more for the provelidge of going faster. 2nd as people will stop speedo watching, you also wont have little pockets of slow moving trafic (where the camera is) so road accidents would probably be rediced overall.


Sorry if anyone is offended by the tard comment, but it really is the only way to describe some of the bafoons who they let drive these days as I doubt some of them are mentaly able opperate a toaster let alone a motor car. I use that word purely as a figure of speach and would not want to offend any retarted or otherwise disabled people by suggesting they are the same level as the average road user.

The problem about police is if they can't catch you for your £60 fine by police car (followed by the horsebox) is the chopper is called out.

The next thing will be every vehical will be fitted with a tamperproof tracking device...and they just catch you via GPS and flick your engine off if thought to be speeding.

The best bet is always the radar detector...
