Lovely countryside but the pressure that goes with it trying to keep a clean license is hard.

Post by: Grahamm on 15 April 2013, 11:33:41 am: From that article: "North Wales Police has a robust strategy around enforcing the ‘Fatal 5’ offences which are speeding, drink and drug driving, dangerous driving including unnecessary risk taking, failing to wear a seat belt and using a mobile phone whilst driving."

And does "dangerous driving including unnecessary risk taking" include "Driving too foccing fast for the conditions" because that is *much* more dangerous than just going over (a possibly arbitrary) limit number!

Too many accidents happen because people just won't *slow down* when it's pi$$ing with rain or foggy or other such poor conditions, but "well I'm not going over the speed limit"...

Seriously, there wasn't a single time we went out in the car when we didn't nearly get taken out by some dozy twat doing this.

Post by: chaz on 15 April 2013, 11:54:56 pm: They're having a blitz on speeding in north Yorkshire. The York Press online comments page someone had put that Bikers are testosterone fuelled mid life crisis muppets that deserve to die as they drive like idiots.

I pointed out to him testosterone and mid life crisis don't belong in the same sentence. Other people had been much harsher on his comment.

I just put DON'T FEED THE TROLL.
