To your environment, and your driving.
You wouldn't know this though would you Smeg? Anything below 40 and you're asleep, according to you  |

| Let's hope you've thought of a better response than earlier then. "It could be quite marked and it could be quite dangerous – we just don’t know.” is just nonsense and meaningless. you just don't know says it all. "If you get to the point where a speed limit feels unnatural, it affects a d... |

| If you want to restart your argument that speeding up is a safer way of overcoming severe fatigue than pulling over and having a rest then go ahead. A new thread would be considerate. |

That's just someone with an informed but counter opinion. And one which has no agenda but one of safety. Neit... |

| And then there's the factor that local authorities acknowledge dangerous driving around schools to the point where they won't actively encourage cycling because of the risks. Surely this is completely the wrong attitude for LA's to take?! Again, let's not focus our resources on curing symptoms, but... |

| OK. So what do we do outside schools? As I said above, the education issue takes time. And for those it doesn't work on, it will take even longer to sort them out. What do we do in the mean time? It's all fine proposing that, but if it ever did happen it's a long way off isn't it? Do we have to wai... |

And, this being a road safety campaign, it's something that we should be talking about. And then there's the factor t... |

| Robin, be careful, you're in danger of portraying yourself as one of those rabid types. This whole discussion on cycling to school started on the dark side.

| Telling everyone that people should be able to judge their own safe speed doesn't make any difference. They aren't. It's impossible to control any vehicle safely, whether car, bike, boat, or skateboard, without judging what is a safe speed. The dangerous drivers out there need to be dealt with, but... |
