| This is Al-Gore's repsonse to the article in the telegraph. Wikipedia has a great deal to say on the matter, and if you're bored of text and graphs you can have a look at some of the photographic evidence . Of course there will allways be the "other side" of the coin. But just ask yourself... |

| Its a good example of of appauling signage. The only time I've managed to stick to that 30 limit is when its late at night and by doing so am an avoidable risk to other road users. I risk winding everyone up by even attempting to stick to that limit. Fine, over the roadworks 20-30mph is reasonable, ... |

Quote: The school run wouldn’t be such a problem if parents dropped/picked up their kids near school, as opposed to directly in front of it. So true. Some think the zig-zags are reserved places for them to park I'm sure. |

| Air-bag deployment is an indicator of the severity of injuries sustained by the people in the black 4x4. You'll note that the chap had his hand on his head as he came out of the car and seemed to be suffering from neck pain. Given that adrenaline usually modifies pain response he's probably going to... |

Very true johnny. It is only that we allow ourselves to get irritated by this kind of driving behaviour that makes it a problem...

| I think the point that safespeed is making is that road safety is a complex issue far beyond the reach of the current single minded over-use of the speed camera. Lets have a look at some empirical evidence showing that driver psychology, rather than speed causes accidents: http://www.youtube.com/wat... |
