Where is the man with the red flag, it's simply not safe to travel faster than a man on horseback. It might say 70 its not an order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don"t think the examiner would be impressed if you were hurtling along at 30. This is bizarre. Part of the test IS driving at an appropriate speed, which IS at the speed limit in good conditions. You're basically living in a dream world of your own invention. 4 minutes ago, PRESLEY said: It might say 70 its not an order. See all the comments about making progress and why you'd attract penalties on your driving test for not driving at an appropriate speed if conditions allow. 8 hours ago, PRESLEY said: Did you read the part where it said driving like a snail causes accidents and so does driving like a cheetah, Ive never in my post mentioned people should drive at snail pace. I say the danger with driving too fast gives less time to correct any type errors that a speeding driver may encounter. Flippinhell its common sense. Take your time. Best to get to your destination in one piece rather than not at all, who cares if your late for an appointment which is actually down to your own bad- time management. Your common sense seems to be that driving at or close to the speed limit is by definition "racing" or "speeding". It's clearly untrue though.

All this talk about driving too slow, doe"s any one know of anybody whose been fined for this (offence). I Certainly don"t. I have been on the motorway, and though I generally drive at 60-70, I have been known to plod along at 50, just to simply take it steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now people "nutters" & "maniacs" because they drive at the speed limit in good conditions, yet those, such as yourself by your own admission, who drive INAPPROPRIATELY slower than near or at the limit, when road conditions are good and do not warrant such over-cautious/hesitant driving, proven to be similar as dangerous as driving over the limit, are completely and utterly virtuous & saintly for doing so? And yes, I've mentioned the driving test as a point to show that your driving falls below the required standard of a competent driver. I've even pointed out that your driving, again to which you've admitted to falls into the category of careless driving. Unfortunately neither of these points seem to be permeating your "I'm always right because I'm old" ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently our "hurtling along at 30" merchants were trolling the speed awareness course thread saying what a waste of time it was. https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/332890-speed-awareness-courses/page/25/?tab=comments#comment-8250786 https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/332890-speed-awareness-courses/page/26/?tab=comments#comment-8251031 https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/332890-speed-awareness-courses/page/26/?tab=comments#comment-8260541 Edited July 14, 2019 by Longcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going on what I was told. The course is boring and long drawn out obviously part of the punishment for speeding. So get your facts right.

Amazing that you posted twice on the "Speed Awareness Course" thread then "remembered" you hadn't been on one when your - shall we say - inconsistency - was pointed out. https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/468578-speed-limit-on-sheffield-parkway-set-to-be-cut/page/7/?tab=comments#comment-8260517 You're hardly in a position to to tell people to get their facts right 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my driving tests in the 60s. Failed first one, Failed 2nd one. Came to the 3rd one, I was nervous and terrified. Concentrated hard tried to do everything right, don"t think I got out of 3rd gear (probably did) slowed down at zebra crossing, traffic lights, roundabouts, parked cars.. did I fail.. YIPPEE , you"ve passed. what a great feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
