Safe Speed Forums

PC do-gooders are such hypocrites. They're good at dishing it out but no damn good at taking it The protest hasn't even begun and the PC ecogeeks are panicking already. I hope this protest goes a long way to finally kill political correctness.

Its not a wrong law - 70mph is fast enough speed

Explain please?

You didn't answer my question. Do you want safety or do you want legality?

You get safety at 70 mph. I want legality by enforcing people to stick to it.
Fred

There are still quite a few austin allegros on the roads

I see... and you are qualified to make that statement how?...

And gow are you qualified to make the statement that its not?

First of all, when are you going to answer my question?

Cheers
Peter

Come clean, Fred.

Are you a troll working for the scamerati? Or are you just a wanker?

Yes, (Well, no... but you can use any old car as an example)... The drivers of those cars have already been driving at a speed appropriate for the conditions, and for their vehicle for many years... I have an older vehicle as well as a newer one... and without a doubt I would concider their relative capabilities in any given set of road conditions as a natural part of regulating my speed...

Peter

I believe your question is about the laws being rigourously enforced, the answer to that is yes.

Fred

You don't in the fog. You don't when traffic stops. You don't in some older vehicles. You don't if the driver is drunk. You don't if the driver is inattentive. (And a thousand more).

But most importantly, a crash with a delta v of 70mph is almost certain to kill you. Clearly 70mph is a deadly speed. Why on earth is it legal and how do so many of us survive? (Serious questions...!)

You may call me a wanker is you wish, but no I am not a troll or working for the scamerati (who ever they are)
I am merely a law abiding citizen thats all

Fred

Says who? You?
And what qualifies you?
It's been amply demonstrated, by their actions, that three-quarters of the driving population do not agree - and that's in the order of 20 million people.

I am talking about 70 mph being safe in a roadworthy vehicle in good driving conditions. Clearly in fog etc speed should be reduced. Traffic police should be around to catch the drunks / nutters etc whilst the cameras can cathc the speeders

Wanker??? I think the word is pedestrian...

And what qualifies you?
