Set the pace - Make the commitment
Discussion
To all community contacts in the Congleton Borough area
Cheshire County Council have launched the "Set the Pace - Make the
Commitment" initiative in a bid to reduce the number of fatal and seriously
injured road traffic accidents on our roads every year. Inappropriate speed
is a factor in 43% of crashes and the faster a vehicle is driven the less
chance there is of surviving an impact.
9 out of 10 pedestrians hit by a vehicle travelling at 40 mph are
killed.
5 out of 10 pedestrians hit by a vehicle travelling at 30 mph survive.
9 out of 10 pedestrians hit by a vehicle travelling at 20 mph survive.
Cheshire Police and Fire officers and are obliged to attend road traffic
accidents across the county which tie up valuable resources and cost the
community a staggering amount of money every year.
This initiative is aimed at responsible drivers and you are invited to sign
up to it. You will receive a sticker for the rear window which explains why
you are sticking to the speed limits and you will have a calming effect on
the flow of vehicles on Cheshire's road network. It could save someone's
life and it costs nothing. There will be a monthly draw where 2 people will
receive a reward such as shopping vouchers
If you would like to sign up please ring 01244 603602 or e mail

one only has to drive on the A road system, particularly on new by passes to see that this the case.
there are many new bypasses or short sections of "improved" roads that appear to be gently curved preventing a significant view ahead that, coupled with a liberal use of white lining and hatched area along the centre of the road, too passively dissuade you from overtaking.
of course, the holy than thou my speed idiot only adds to the problems ending up with a slow camel train from town to town.

saw my first sticker today
it was a fixed to a honda accord driven by an oap and he was doing 25 through knutsford
rather streriotypical but there we are
Why is the fact that he was an OAP in any way significant. I'm an OAP and just hate being stereotyped in this way.
In fact, get yourself an 'Enduro Formula' Rally car or a fully prepped Cooper 'S' Historic, come out and compete against me and I'll probably just 'wup your ass!
Sorry, but being labelled in this way really p****s me right off.
how do you know i haven't, grandad
challenge you any day, time, date, place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you name it
