Yeah, you can drive: drunk, without tuition/license, without consideration, with a road unworthy car, fatigued, not bothering to pay attention to junction controls or red lights or zebra crossing, in rainy, foggy and slippery conditions, while tailgating - all at the speed limit and "EVERYTHING WILL BE O.K"

…….until the child of some irresponsible parent falls under your wheels.



You utterly justify the SS campaign!

Oh , yes , slow down , lets drive past every cam at limit -1, does it matter if i'm drunk, drugged up, overtired, overloaded, got 15 in a saloon car, steering with my feet, driving a stolen car, reversing down the road with 99 naked females on the roof and 5 couples performing lewd sex in the back of my large estate car.
Will PC GATSO detect a crime - do pigs fly ??

Go home and read Dennis the Menace

Being held at http://www.bubbles-n-babes.com/ - bring your own sponge ( and soap dispenser)

Might be advisable to bring a selection of gals - mine are about 65+

Can I ask you if you know what the biggest cause of accidents on our roads is due to and just what steps you have taken to ensure your driving is kept to a good standard since passing your driving test?

as a reformed ex-troll* who still doesn't agree with the anti-camera sentiments (but is wholly supportive of the road safety sentiments) on this site ...

Sensible Majority, why not put some mental effort into it. You come across as a spoiled child with time on your hands.

You are right in that speeding is illegal (hence I have no problems with cameras) but speed is by no means the only issue on our roads. I'd rather see speed camera fines ploughed back into traffic police so all of the bad behaviour described in this thread (and elsewhere) could be caught by increased police presence.

* edit: OK, I admit I'm not wholly reformed!

No problem with that at all, but at least you're more than happy to come on here and speak up about it.
And you do speak a lot of sense.
So you can be pro-camera, and agree with a lot of what is said on here.

Full, clean car & bike license, full no claims for car insurance (don't get no claims on my bike), and I exceed a posted speed limit at least once a day, every day of the week....so feel free to provide evidence that your mistaken belief in sticking to the speed limit will keep your license clean.

PS

The last accident (before you ask) that I was involved in was September 2001. I was stationary at the time, but that still didn't stop somebody (who was within the speed limit BTW) emerging from a side turning on the wrong side of the road and driving straight in to the side of me.

An interesting angle on this, which I would guess many of you (HGV drivers excepted) haven't thought about, is the current 40 mph limit for lorries on single carriageway roads. If the sensible majority really believes that sticking to the speed limit makes everything safer, why, come out for a day in my truck! We'll sit at 40 (legally) from Inverness to Perth (113 miles) and pass the time counting the dangerous overtaking manoevres pulled by frustrated motorists!
Admittedly, I do tend to stick at 40 (after all, I make my living from my driving licence and I can't afford to start racking up points) but I also pull over regularly, wave people past when it's safe to do so and constantly watch my mirrors so I can spot any potentially hazardous manoevres and make allowances for them. I just thought this was a good illustration of a) why speed limits are not always sensible (it might have been clever to limit lorries to 40 half a century ago but not now), and b) why the sensible majority's views are not as sensible or well thought out as s/he clearly believes they are.

I had several accidents in my younger years - all of them my fault (down to inattention), except for the most serious one (the last one, which was a head-on with a drunk driver)
Funnily enough, they all happened within the speed limit - so no amount of speed cameras would have prevented them.
I've now (touch wood) been accident-free for more than three decades.

Have a look at http://www.safespeed.org.uk/hgv40.html

I even gave it a usable name: 'HGV40', which is a lot less of a mouthful than: "national speed limit for goods vehicles over 7.5t on single carriageway roads"

You may have to eat those words soon, you believe the world is a fair and ordered place but it's not I'm afraid.

They don't need one the law already caters for them by not bothing. I've lived in 3 places that have been burgled = 3 insuance claims + 3 insurance rises + stress. No convictions even when we knew which junky did it. How many people do you know who have had their burlger caught.

'the nieve minority' your ivory tower has weak foundations. :wink:

If you knew who did it wy call the police???


The law doesnt catch burglars so its ok to speed, where's the sense in that??
The law does nothing to catch lots of people who rob, most of the theft is by big buisness such as the directors who steal the pension funds from pensioners but is that an exuse to kill by speed.

Face facts excess speed kills.
