willman Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Condoning lawbreaking i.e Speeding (which you admit to doing) while advocating the enforcement of other traffic laws i.e No Insurance (which I assume you don't do). That pretty much makes you a hypocrite. What about supporting illegal drug use and then criticising/pressuring all speeding motorists is that hypocritical?

willman Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 or enter the carriageway ahead of you. Its a driving exam fail to pull out in front of another vehicle and expect them to moderate their driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftlad Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Do you notice the people indoors, trying to sleep at 4 in the morning, as you scream past? You exist in a bubble of selfishness, you have no idea if someone who, quite reasonably, expects other road users to be obeying the law and tries to cross the road or enter the carriageway ahead of you. i do not make much of a noise in my car its pretty new its not a chavmobile, that you associate with noisy exhausts (corsas) or the like. yes i do know about road safety and looking out for pedestrians crossing road or entering a carriageway ahead-eyes are wonderful things you know. I take it you have a car and heave never ever gone above the limit or are you one of these sandal wearing guardian readers that uses a bike or walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Ralge Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Its a driving exam fail to pull out in front of another vehicle and expect them to moderate their driving. What the rules of engagement are in the L-test (of minimum competence, so certainly no gold standard) is irrelevant (you may have noticed this) in the real world. People do pull out/walk out when they shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xt500 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Nearly four thousand road deaths a year seems pretty anti-social. What makes you think thats due to speeding?Its NOT!! Its caused by bad attitude tail gateing poor driving skills poor observasion conditions badly designed roads/junctions old age Heart attacks etc etc etc Speeding is the cause of very very very few accidents,it is neither driving without due care nor dangerous driving although some seem to lack the understanding of the big differences. Exceeding the speed limit is exactly that in in this day and age of speed limits well below the road design speeds its easy to see why millions do it every day,and without incident!

Tony Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 If you had taken the trouble to read the article in the OP you would have seen this Exceeding the speed limit or going too fast for conditions was reported as a factor in 4,187 deaths and serious injuries in 2009, according to the Department for Transport. You appear to be defending people who kill and injure while speeding - I assume that wasn't your intention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
