Educate, don't legislate!

the nanny state would prefer it if we didnt leave our houses without a bloody day-glo tabard.

Personally I am beyond taking anything the political classes do seriously.  For example, the much trumpeted 2012 olympics will now be guarded by British Soldiers in full camouflage gear.... and a day-glo vest.  You couldn't make it up!

graded licences are they way to go. Been saying it for 20 years.

regarding country lanes, I fear the locals who charge around  too fast
but its ok as they ' know the roads'

[pitternator]

its all hogwash...totally unenforcable...like all the existing traffic laws. There aint anyone left to do it ....its IMO the major reason why our roads are infested with idiots and poor driving ( not to mention uninsured drivers) ...cos they know they can get away with it.

write all the letters you like...it wont change a tory government in its course of action ...

Well said, Pitternator. No-one left to enforce existing traffic laws, let alone any new ones! I guess whatever police we have left will be drafted to London for the Olympics. I live in Birmingham and rarely see marked police cars/bikes on our roads-Probably one reason why an area of my city is the"uninsurance capital" of the UK! I suppose if they bring in more speed limit road signs to add to the present "information overload"-at least its another business opportunity for the scrap metal thieves! :rollin

To be honest I find those little roadside signs that flash up your speed to be quite effective (on me anyway) I slow down just to see the sign smile.  :lol
