Re: Driving speeds
And you are entitled to your opinion I still say speed limits are maximums and nothing says we all have to rush around trying to keep to them. I have to also say not had an accident that was my fault ever, only had someone who actually said I thought you had gone plough into the back of me at lights when the lights were still red
and another who hit be on my rear door as I passed their driveway and they backed out without looking.As I said dogs and children in my life come before speed.

Re: Driving speeds
Well having just a few moments ago returned home and whilst out a terrific storm began with the rain lashing down like you wouldnīt believe, thunder, lightning, the lot. My friend and I were drenched getting to the car. When we get heavy rain here the roads tend to flood, the drains overflow and you can be up to your ankles in water very quickly. Coming home visibility was bad because of the rain, the usual places were flooded but so many idiots driving dangerously, mostly the 4x4 brigade who never seem to realise that a 4x4 might get over rough places but stops the same as any other car. They seem to see floods as a challenge to their vehicles and speed through them cascading water everywhere, causing problems for other drivers and pedestrians. They donīt seem to have a clue that when roads have been dry for so long they are then very slippery when wet, they apply their brakes and slide all over the road or end up aquaplaning. As for the drivers in hire cars, well Iīm not even going to go there.
what does that mean, don't hold up police men 14-12-2014, 06:23 PM

but slower if they don't.
