The hippies on speed limits.....

Says it all really - the first poster:

Post a little further down too:
"I live opposite a primary school and the speeds people go down this road are terrifying. I always make a point of going at exactly the speed limit..."
It's a 30 limit, so if I do 30, then everything's fine, and no-one is going to get hurt at all, ever.
Talk about a case for re-education...

There's about as much chance of reasoning with these nobends as they'd have if they came on here peddling their lentil casserole...
Let them have their little rant. I'm not interested in arguing with these people.. they have no power - they're just a bunch of whinging risk averse little pussies with inordinately inflated opinions of themselves (say's he
) and a grotesquely naive and simplistic outlook on the world.
Go on there and ask them "what about the impact on the economy of all those who'll be bannerd from driving for petty misdemeanours?"
They'll say "well, it serves them right for not obeying the law in the first place and the economy is probably at the root of the problem, so **** him and **** the economy."

Shocking. Britain seems to have a high percentage of these vociferous sandalista, which is a 'bad thing.'
You will note how the banter detriorates into personal abuse very rapidly, unlike this esteemed forum, wherein reasoned argument and debate - albeit shielding thinly veiled frustrations on a number of such topics - is a defining characteristic.
Of course this should surprise nobody as this strand of quite intolerant high minded pontification typifies much of the so-called liberal movement.
A quasi-religious adherence to rotten sloganism is their modus operandum from which logical discourse can seldom prevail.
As somebody called McLaren once recommended, "never trust a hippy." May they die on unseasoned lentils.

To be fair some of them were making sensible comments about reducing limits in towns around schools, keeping most otehr limits as they are and INCREASING motorway limits (mind you that was Mystery Guest - Carz, you sure you didn't sneak in there...
).
As for the majority of them - sanctimonious pillocks with a complete lack of common sense. Knobends.

maybe my selected handle - sportscardriver - has singled me out as a trouble maker in the eyes of their moderator before I even got a chance to raise the sticky question of the effects of rural speeding on lentil growth.
Bugger!
