birthofanorange replied to the thread [Travel] Potential Speeding Ban.I simply disagree. My priority is checking for hazards ahead, not checking a speedo every few seconds (for that's what you have to do... -

It's not an us and them argument though is it. No one that has ever driven a vehicle on the road is likely to have never broken the... -
birthofanorange replied to the thread [Travel] Potential Speeding Ban.I'd love to be a fly on your (and others) windscreen, and see how frequently you all exceed the 20 mph centre limit, by a few mph...

birthofanorange replied to the thread [Travel] Potential Speeding Ban.Simply because exceeding a limit of 20 mph by a mere 5 mph is so easily done. You're hardly having to press the pedal to the metal by...

birthofanorange replied to the thread [Travel] Potential Speeding Ban.Indeed, far more so than staring at a speedo to make sure I don't add walking pace to the permitted 20 mph. Which would you consider the...
