Speed limits research

[sospan]

Speed on the roads has always been an issue. It started with the red flag man walking in front of the horseless carriages and the issue has modified as traffic volume and speeds attainable have increased.
One noticeable aspect is that driving standards vary with good to bad habits and attitudes being seen every day.
So...how can bad driving be “managed”?
Speed is pretty easy these days as an actual measurement can be made and used. Hence the proliferation of detection devices and the resultant perception of cash generation. This also feeds data to interested parties to manipulate in ways to suit their aims,ideology,pet hates...
I have pet hates that irk me....non indication by turning cars, lane change, lack of courtesy to tell others what you are doing.
Tailgating...
Ridiculous parking...
If tech was introduced to actually measure things like these then I guess standards would improve.
Speed is too often used as a reason for an incident when poor driving in general is the root cause. You can argue that your speed should be such that it allows you to react safely should someone’s driving cause issue but in the end it is general driving standards that initiate incidents. That is a coverall statement as so many factors are covered.
Even if you drive within a speed limit safety can be compromised by bad driving.
Video evidence of poor driving is starting to become useful hence dashcams. Even sending footage in has started.
“I think, in my opinion, you are driving like a dhead... I am sending my footage in”.
So much variation in opinions...a minefield.

Thanks, I thought originally it was someone interested in a debate, albeit with a different point of view. I didn't realise it was the poster formally known as Ghe13rte.

Also tapereel, pitmansboots, etc.

I was under the impression that creating multiple user identities was a breach of forum rules.
If the poster/s involved are doing so, why aren't the admins acting to put a stop to it?

I don't think there's an issue keeping the same profile but simply changing usernames - ask emmaT2014 (and others).

Here is the chart with the casualty risk added. The safest drivers are not where you thought they were.

I've seem some ste posted on this forum, but this is comedy gold [/quote

You'd have to be a special kind of retard to draw that extra line and think anyone will believe it. Not only does it fly in the face of all available data, it is also completely illogical. Let me guess, you're a low ranking police officer?

Time for another name change I think.

My advice is to not feed this troll (repel_min).

Odd that they feel the need to keep changing their username.

Perhaps it's a Cumbrian thing..

Highly likely!
