| I agree that you should be very careful about talking to the mother - especially if she's making out to be your "friend". Her behaviour (waiting for the police to close the file) doesn't match up with her words (telling you that she believes you). She may be taking advantage of your guilt ... |

| I'm normally against these, as it ends up in the ridiculous situation in London where you have NSL loitering at 3AM to give out fines to people who fail to see badly signposted "No Left Turns" in poor visibility. However... something like this would be a great help round where I live. Ther... |

| My other half routinely goes past lights whilst they are still on red in central London. She stops to check traffic, and never does it if there is a pedestrian on the junction. She cycles 30 miles a day into and out of London, and is one of the best drivers I know in terms of situational awareness a... |

| Three times in three weeks I've seen serious accidents on the main road near my house (Muller Road in Bristol, if anyone knows it) - it's a long, busy road with quite a big hill on it. Two of these have really puzzled me - they are "t-bone" collisions, where both vehicles end up on the same side of ... |

| The three times I've been done for speeding (a long time ago now - got up to 11 points but have a clean license these days), I've been pulled by a trafpol. I was also stopped a few other times and given a telling off. In hindsight, each time I was pulled, I deserved it. I was driving like bloody idi... |

| I really don't understand the argument that people can't concentrate on driving and hold a conversation at the same time - surely driving, being immediate (and visual), takes priority. I frequently hold very long conversations in the car on my (car kit) phone, and if it's not someone I know well, I ... |

| Anyone see today's article in the Times about conviction rates for drink driving causing concern, as it's "not a national priority" and traffic policing is "focussing on offences that can be detected remotely"? :roll: There is a version on the site at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,173-16... |
