I rest my case! it\'s dodadoodadadad! NUTS

[Nuk Su Kow]

I have to agree with teabagger....
 
Doing 12mph on a hot day is far less serious than doing 70mph on a pi$$ing down motorway where you can\'t see 5ft infront let alone 50!
 
It\'s like having a the national speed limit on tiny country roads where you\'d be mad to try and stick at them.
 
Realistic speeds for motorways and the like.
 
Now to put the rest of the world to rights.....Conservatives should be back in power as they were finally getting to grips with things when Labour bribed the millions of people on benefits to vote for them.
 
Should take a leaf out of ALI-G\'s book and only let "fit" imigrants in.
 
If you want to have a house, 50 kids and drink all day, go out and EARN YOU\'RE OWN FCUKING MONEY AND STOP MAKING IT HARD FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DO GET UP EARLY AND WORK THEIR AR$ES OFF TO LIVE.
 
I\'m going to get some badges made up for the next election, get every rex in the country to block Westminster, bring London to a stand still and get a front seat in parlament whilst the rest can sit at the back occasionally saying "here here" and "zzzzzzzz" and give some backbone to the once Great Britian....

I disagree!  Gong that slowly is very dangerous!!!

[RemarkLima]

You\'ve got to remember that speed limit were only introduced due to the petrol crisi in the 70\'s...

...OK, things are busier now so there needs to be something but yeah, doing 70 in torrential rain is just mental.

And I heard in some countries if you fail you driving test 3 times then you have to have a psychiatric evaluation to see if you\'re mentally fit to be in control of a 2 ton lump of speeding metal! Perfect idea if you ask me

Then again, I\'d probably fail most tests now, other than an ARDS.

LOL, I think they should make it a national lottery. When somebody passes their license back to the DVLA somebody else gets the chance to learn to drive. This would remove the increases in congestion because the same amount of drivers stay on the road !!!

The world has gone mad....

 Whats the difference with chatting on the phone while driving and chatting with a passenger next to you or in the back seats???
 The distraction is worse with a passenger as you would be driving, chatting and looking at them while conversing...
 Children will be banned from riding in cars!
 May as well Ban playing a stereo in the car too... as you\'ll be caught up \'distracted\' by trying to sing along or listening to Chris Moyles talk ****e!
 Suppose changing gear will be frowned upon also... talking your hands off the wheel to change gear.. you bad dangerous driver!

 Next on the list you\'ll have to pull into a Services to scratch your b0llocks when you get an itch as that will be distracting using one hand on the wheel...
 
 
.
  SO the cars of the future will be designed for 1 person only and no Stereo\'s, nav aids, no gear sticks, and tight pants is a must when driving!

i dunno lads

eating a sarnie while driving along isnt easy you would have to drive with one hand. people who smoke n drive at the same time have two hands on the wheel cos the fag is in thier gob. the reason they dont let you use a mobile while driving is because you dont have two hands on the steering wheel, what if you had to swerve to avoid an obsticle?

Id rather stop and eat properly, theres no way i could tackle a foot long subway while driving esp as the contents of a sarnie always ends up in your lap and if your trying to eat while driving an rx - tis much easier to drive a narrow windy country road at national speed limits....

[normski]

Are so: does this mean, anyone who ever takes their hand off the wheel for a second is not in full control of their car? SO where do you draw the line then. No listening to your fav music, not giving the road your full attention. !!! Come on, You can\'t treat everyone like a complete idiot!

Come to England the land of the free!! hahahahah more like free as long as you do as your told!

[iaint]

Go check out some of the rally footage from the 80\'s - 15km+ of one handed driving with supreme control!  One hand constantly on gear or handbreak.

Pre all this lazy flappy-paddle gearing.

[FD3SNuttah]

yea.  stuffin your face with a sarnie your gonna have one hand off the wheel for more than a second! how you gonna hold the sarnie?!

and rally drivers - well uts thier job to be exceptional drivers arnt they.. this was some average Joe

the policeman could have given him a warning. but perhaps the guy was rude to them so he booked him?

all im saying is - why bother with the fag in one hand phone in the other mentality when you can just drive more safely using both hands and then stop and eat properly later?

Yea but the this person was not driving in a manner which would indicate that they were NOT in control. I think  the main point is! It\'s what they said could have happened, not what did happen! which was nothing. I feel the point is this opens the flood gates to all sorts of stupid logic, as mentioned earlier. wer do you draw the line. It\'s a Police state, and people are  Are legislative prisoners or state slaves. That’s were this has gone. There’s no room for personal responsibility anymore.

[nikp]

Blimey! If people were only convicted of driving badly for when something horrid happend, I think we could live in a society where accidents happen far more frequently.

You don\'t motorcyclists get away with wheelying because nothing did happen. No, they get stopped because it\'s dangerous and something could (And most likely will) happen.

[RemarkLima]

But I\'ve eaten sarnies, or pasties (mmm ginsters!) loads and loads on motorway journeys. Same as having a swig of drink from a bottle, you\'re telling me you shouldn\'t take anything to drink when driving a couple of hours somewhere???

But if you put the triangle part down between your legs, you can take a bite, put the sarnie back and happily drive along Sure a footlong with extra filling would be somewhat tricky!

Still, with this story we\'re missing what road he was on, what the weather was like etc...

[nikp]

No, wasn\'t saying that at all: I think being clocked for eating is as ridiculous as everyone else. But some people are joining the bandwagon and complaining about speeding tickets, etc, etc. A society has got to have rules, otherwise it anarchy. If we don\'t like those rules, then campaign to get them changed, as opposed to complain about them and do nothing.

It\'s nothing to do with being a bandwagon. It\'s about objecting to being prosecuted on the pretence that you are endangering others when it clearly has nothing to do with that.

And you still haven\'t justified how you think eating is less dangerous than doing 80mph in the conditions I described earlier... Your argument is totally hypocritical, if \'a society has got to have rules\' as you say then surely you should be against eating at the wheel on the very principle you yourself have just laid down.

[nikp]

Yeah, you\'re right. It does sound hypocritical - bet ya weren\'t expecting me to say that, were ya! :p
