| A satellite navigation unit tucked low down on the windscreen may obscure a small portion of view, but in terms of distraction it cannot compare with having something dangling from the rear view mirror, swinging around right up at eye level! Must really reduuce a driver's ability to use that all-imp... |

| Several posters here have asked the question "what is the point of speed-bumps". That they should even ask the question is rather sad, but to think they might actually not know the answer is really quite tragic! They exist in order that others that do not drive may also exist in the same s... |

| Surely what we all wish for (us motorists) is an end to prescribed speed limits? The debate about speed cameras is really discussing the wrong topic. The point is not that I as a motorist think the use of a camera is wrong, what I am really saying (behind all the rhetoric) is that I dissagree with h... |

| This is quite absurd! If the pavement is wide enough to permit cyclist as well as pedestrians, then the pavement width should be reduced to alllow an extra lane for the poor harrassed motorists.

| I agree, I have always thought that the narrow cycle lanes formed with just a white line a few feet from the kerb are dangerous and pointless, as it just provides an excuse for motorists to drive fast and close to cyclists.
