But whoa not if youre exceeding what the sign says! Youve gotta be a madman to do that! I mean, think of the children........ It nearly always comes down to the "children" argument..... Well, i say, "Screw the children! Theyre getting far too much attention." If they learned to cross the road properly and didnt mess about on the verges trying to impose themselves on drivers lawfully going about their business, thered be less of em lying in casualty. Heartless aint i? We need cops in cars on patrol, not hiding behind bushes trying to hit their numerical targets for the day. If they were out doing what we pay em for then bad driving would be a thing of the past- at whatever speed!

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON MATE

I too am totally sick and tired of "think of the children"
Some of todays kids are rude, disrespectful, arrogant little shits who have no regard for motorists or other pedestrains.
All the effing lefty do gooders who think their bullshit softly softly psycho babble is improving the upbringing of kids THEN TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT YOUR LAWS ARE PRODUCING.You cant smack em, cant touch em.
Bring back good old fashioned discipline. Teach them to cross the road safely and with respect for others. THEN AND ONLY THEN START BASHING MOTORISTS ( rant over)

In and of itself, that example is not enough....

How many more examples do you want just on that single journey? Yes it was an extreme case but still.

Come on! Maybe don't you agree that most people drive around with eyes wide shut?

While that is the case the lobby to get some sense into life on the road is on a hiding to nothing.
