spindrift Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Speeding is top of the league when it comes to antisocial behaviour, a University of Reading study has shown. Thames Valley Police approached psychologists at the University of Reading and asked them to analyse the British Crime Survey - which considers the concerns of more than 17,000 people across the UK. Speeding traffic was rated as a significantly greater problem than all other antisocial behaviours, with 43% of the population regarded speeding traffic as a 'very' or 'fairly big' problem in their area. Furthermore, the perception of speeding traffic as the antisocial behaviour of most concern was held by both men and women - young, middle aged, and old. The study's authors, Dr Damian Poulter and Professor Frank McKenna from the University of Reading's Psychology department, replicated the findings in a second survey, which also found that 85% of respondents felt travelling immediately above the speed limit on residential roads was unacceptable behaviour. Professor McKenna said "It would appear that we have greatly underestimated the degree of public concern over speeding. "In comparison to concerns such as intimidation, vandalism, harassment, disruptive neighbours, drunkenness and drugs, speeding is the number one concern." http://www.reading.ac.uk/about/newsandevents/releases/PR3936.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It is an offence you also have to declare for 5 years under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act where asked. That's why insurance companies can ask if you have any convictions in the last 5 years despite the points coming off your licence in most cases after 4 years. Well if you're way of thinking is correct the Chief Constable of South Yorks is a career criminal then! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredydd_Hughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 heres an example http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj18/russsmailbox1/B34_DSCN9570.jpg That's a photo of a road. It is not proof that a camera caused an accident, because cameras can't cause accidents, the driver is in charge of the vehicle, not the camera. Are you saying you panic and crash every time you see a camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you tell the difference because I couldn't.... & neither will the courts secure any conviction without a calibrated, authorised & recognised speed measuring device! But suddenly all the members of the public in the above survey have become human authorised speed measuring devices. Just shows you the limitations in surveys! The survey shows that 85% of people worry about people just going over the speed limit.....but they've no way of measuring it....so they could be worrying about nothing at all!!!!!!

So, when you speed along residential roads, you consider the views of the residents to be "crap"? You don't care that you are frightening the children trying to cross? Cyclists? Old people? Isn't that rather selfish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn to read. i said "vulnerable road users". Cyclists. Children. Pensioners. Why subject them to your anti-social, criminal behaviour? Typical speedophile, doesn't care about others.
