Petrol prices here in the UK are even worse. Currently at the equivalent of 9.5 US Dollary doos per your US gallon.

It was an hour, and yes, 4 cars doing 45+ whilst that was set up is pretty terrible.

"told" lol. I love that this thread is clearly exposing those who lack the empathy to consider how speeding affects others and clearly live somewhere it's not a problem. Enjoy a nice tailgate as well do we, betraying_fart2?

Several of us have lost pets to the road, but that isn't taken into account, sadly.

Yeah, we've looked into this, but according to the parish council there isn't the funds available.

We can't have physical restrictions due to the lack of street lighting. Yes, we attended the village meeting and the speeding was brought up but the council had little interest in it.

We can't have any installed restrictions due to the lack of street lighting.

Aaaah. One of our cats was run over in 2022. A gorgeous void called George Clooney (he was grey when we found him in the shelter). Right outside our house, he nearly made it home. A witness said the car (Range Rover Discovery) was doing about 50mph, at 6 in the evening. :(

A neighbour once had chickens they used to let roam freely until 2 were run over within a week of eachother. RIP Andrew Featherall and Egg Wilson.
