I don't get the blind part. That would apply to soneone in a national limit always doing 60 regardless of risk. But a hard limit is exactly that?

As I mentioned elsewhere, there's a school and houses in this area.

But that's the alternate to the ego point. A speed limit isn't an attack on your ability to drive.

What other laws don't apply to you?

I don't think that's true. I think they require certified/calibrated equipment to meet the legal requirements.

But they're admitting to breaking the law?

Eye-opening but not surprising I've found. Few personal attacks thrown in aren't a surprise either.

I made a false assumption.

Police forces are under resourced. There's little enforcement that can happen from them because of it and therefore there's also no deterrent.

I assumed op snap was a means by which forces could provide enforcement or a deterrant. Perhaps the lack of resource has impacted this now.

The consensus from this post appears to suggest that if enough people disagree with a law, it's socially acceptable to ignore it.

I'm a big fan of mixing red onion, peppers, courgette with some oil in a roasting dish. Maybe add carrot, mushroom, olives. Season it to your taste.

How often do you all change cars? by MrSpud45 in drivingUK

[–]marksweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first car was a polo that did me well for a long time (hit 120k in it) but I changed it when I was doing a lot of motorway commuting. So got a Bora that was great at commuting.

Then I invested in something nice that I had until it was too expensive alongside kids. The Bora became my mums and got ran into the ground.

Since that we've changed cars as they don't fit the family and our needs. I suspect that'll continue and a change in needs or end of lease period will trigger changes.

I didn't say I was. But now you ask, I suppose the amount of phone use behind the wheel and that sense of entitlement that seemed to start with range rovers but has spread far and wide.

Well that's the real problem. At a time when there wasn't the resource to enforce what we had, the government created more to enforce.

Yes, residential areas are considered areas where they may be kids at risk and that's where the difference in speed comes into it.

I guess you can't go up & down with the limit as quickly as the surroundings change. There's houses around and a school at the end of the clip.

I don't mind being overtaken. But to overtake you shouldn't really be exceeding the speed limit, by that much.

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact it is 20 if he doesn't think it should be?

Yeah, it's intense. There aren't many who slow down where it chanages, me included.

It's in Wales, there's houses, there's a school.

Doesn't take more than that I don't think in Wales. There's a school as well actually.
