And if thats the case you shouldnt be trying to cross the road or even playiing near the road!! Try explaining that little gem to the parents of the little kid who wandered out of Busk Meadows nursery onto Shirecliffe Road some time back. I don't think that kid was blind, dumb, thick or deaf. Just nearly DEAD. I'm sure that if you ever get hit by a speeding driver you'll say "Its ok, my fault, I must be dumb and thick". God help us all if you ever get a driving licence.

halevan Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Originally posted by Lickszz The Conservative party are proposing that the speed limit on the motorway is increased from 70mph to 80mph. With congestion on the increase and an abundance of other laws targetting drivers many feel that this has become a significant politcal issue added to the close scrutiny and attention from the press. Would you agree with the suggested increase or would you rather leave it as it is? What are the major benefits? I've attached a poll No I do not agree with the Motorway speed limit being increased, seventy miles per hour is enough for any sensible sane person who wants to get home in one piece. It is only speed crazed imbeciles with a death wish, who want to drive at excessive speeds, to satisfy their idiotic obsession to be the first at the head of the queue, I would ban them for life because other people on the road (drivers and pedestrians) are put at risk.

Wow, it's amazing I've lived this long then Originally posted by halevan I would ban them for life Hmmm, a lifetime ban for going 75mph. How typically reasonable of you. Originally posted by halevan because other people on the road (drivers and pedestrians) are put at risk. Not sure when you were last on a motorway, but you don't tend to get many pedestrians on them.

HeadingNorth Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Time to resurrect a seven-year-old thread, because the Government has announced a consultation on whether to raise the limit to 80mph: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15116064 So we can all raise the arguments over again! Personally I'm all in favour of raising the limit on motorways, and then enforcing it properly; average-speed cameras or hidden cameras so that people can't just slow down for the camera and carry on breaking the law everywhere else. Is 80 high enough? Would 90 be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
