Seems to be a big push just now as seeing it on tv and hearing it on the radio.

Radio one asks you to slow down by just 5mph... so in a years time do we do another 5mph and another and another?

TV one has some clown who says he "always" takes this corner a bit more than 60 even though its a 60 and he always makes it round but proceeds to Ken Block it into a car coming the other way...
Also seeing as there are street lights and no obvious signs its clearly not a 60...






Can't help but think other road attitudes need addressed before the usual one.

roundabouts not being cutover abouts when 2 lanes
cyclists using designed cycle routes that are right beside the road but choose to use the road...
Tyre condition and how it makes such a difference in the wet having more tread rather than minimum. etc

Maybe you need one about cyclists being entitled to use the road

Best also get in there a campaign for them to pay road tax, wear helmets, not jump red lights, have license and MOT and not run pedestrians down.

"full house", I hear the shout.

Dammit, bloody cyclists causing me memory problems now.
They're lethal, get them put in their place.

20 minute drive home from the gym 2 s heads down texting / reading phone doing 60.

These are the s that need addressing.
Sod 6 points for getting caught using your phone behind the wheel. I'd support a straight up 6 month ban
