70 in a 30 zone. Yay or nay?

[UKBob]

The argument is:
Its fun, its cool, its my neighbourhood and I know it.

[nervous]

the against: killing people is fractionally less cool. unless theyre scousers.

sex at 70 is great. of course, you have to get someone else to steer.

The argument's flawed.

I should say its not my argument Im getting stick from a few local PHers that its random breezes which make my car go at all

Usually always keep to the 30 limit in a 30 as there are too many Hazards and Other drivers doing stupid things to go any faster and of course it's the law. I wouldn't dream of doing 70 in a 30 even at 4 am on a street i know. But thats just me!

Sex at 70 is bloody nigh impossible in a Tuscan.
Real danger of a coronary?

In 'open' 30 zones with good visibility and few hazards, I tend to find that my 'comfort' speed is usually around 40-45mph.

On the other hand, I pass a primary school every morning in a 30 zone and probably don't exceed 15mph as I go past. On residential streets with poor lines of visibility and/or high potential for kids, dogs & cats, I often find myself driving at 20 or less.

Can't think of many 30 zones where I'd feel comfortable at any time other than the early hours of the morning, I don't think.

On ther other hand, in case you think I might be some sort of old fogey, I've come across clear sections of A-road and Motorway where 150+ doesn't seem to present excessive risk to others.

What a sensible little thread!!! The Anti's just love to see posts like this, it just confirms their view that we are totally irresponsible and justifies their demands for more stringent laws.

It's not big, it's not clever and if you get caught, you'll lose your licence.

Do you really get that much of a kick out of it, for it to be worth all that?

God, I'm starting to sound like my dad!
