I would not damage a camera not do I think SafeSpeed should be associated with such actions.

Seeing a vandalised camera does make me smile though !

Yes I took the hazard awareness test here a couple of years ago (had a car license for years but needed it for a bike license).

IMO it bears no relation to road safety at all. I lost points on the dummy run for clicking the mouse (ie noticing the hazard) too early !!! :?

What Paul seems to have found here is that the Department of Transport are using flawed statistics to force through their policies. I have just written to my MP on this. I know it's a pain but if enough of us contact the MP's often enough we may get somewhere. I now have a fairly long reply via my ...

Does anybody have any experience of making a claim from a local authority for damage due a pot hole? My car was damaged by a hole in South Cambridgeshire. I made a claim which has been rejected on the grounds that ‘the council are only liable if it can be shown that a full system of inspection and r...

I have an LC 100 fitted to my car. Just off to get it disconnected :x .

I do have electric garage doors so perhaps I should buy one of these openers which could be programmed to open the doors. I wonder if they could have got a conviction if the door opener actually opened the doors??

There is some history between this site and C +. Most of the C+ members also drive cars but you can't even post the name Paul Smith - it has been blocked !!!!

Now how narrow minded is that??

So they add anti lock brakes, abs, air bags, roll bars etc., etc., etc. Then the car needs more power to cope with the extra weight. So what does that do to the economy which was the point of the vehilce in the first place. :?

BC, do you have the BBCode disabled in your profile? If so, that's why your quote tag does not work.


Cheers - That seems to have resolved the problem :drink: . I spent ages yesterday trying to find what was wrong. :stupidme:

I'll take MM and Smeggy's judgement and not pop across the road. I was interested to know if I could learn any more from the incident, but from what you both say it is just a bit of mud-sliniging. Well yes there is some mud slinging but there is also some good debate. I should take a look and make ...

Roger I don't really understand why you were 'looking way to the distance again' before you got past the other car? Surely you should keep a close watch on him until you are safely past. Hey BC.

I read in the Telegraph motoring section that SPECS could be easily fooled by simply entering and leaving the SPECS zone in different lanes??

jub jub\Mr Paul

Yosuf has been banned at least 6 times under different names from C+.

He was also banned from here, pistonheads and the evening standard forum. Probably several more I am not aware of.

Your right Racer - Toomey - Yousallbeendownpub has been sacked on C+ loads of times but just re invents himself with a new name.

He refers to this site (on C+) as CrapSpeed.

Mad as a hatter IMO :twisted:

As somebody has already pointed out jub jub posts on C+ as Mr Paul.

[quote="Jub Jub"]Yup. I'm a Cycling+ regular. I don't think that should prevent me from any useful debate should it? It doesn't mean that I have to agree. I don't hate motorists and I'm not a sandal-wearing hippy cyclist. After all, we all use the same roads and, being a car driver and one...
