If i remember rightly, my dad got made redundant and couldn`t claim benefit because he had more than 3k in his bank account.
Surely this will apply to the fat tw@t called jp |

This is serious, although funny
There have been more and more attempted attacks on the UK.
Sooner or later a terrorist will get through.
I know our security intelligence is (probably) the best in the world, but it cant by average be impossible to get around??

| I actually took proper note of my journey to a local establishment this evening. I drove my wifes car, something i am basically unfamiliar to, and saw how easy it was (a split second glance) to read the speed i was doing.?? Never really gave it much attention before, but now i know. :lol: Peace to y... |

| After all said and done, i would hate to have not checked my speed and i was going a little too fast, but not noticably so, and couldnt stop in time in an emergency. it literally only takes a few miles an hour to make a real difference. Believe me. could you explain that? Let's say you're driving p... |

| Yes, i am sorry John, i should not have sunk to name calling. Now to re-cap. The OP was trying to make out that cameras were actually more dangerous because of the need to check your speed. I didnt agree with this and stated my reasoning, then i got questioned about my reasoning and why i feel the n... |

To answer your question, it is necessary for me to monitor my speed to make sure that i am travelling at the optimum safe speed for the conditions of the road, i couldnt really care less about the legal side of things, but if i am travelling a little too... |

| As for the other questions on judgement of speed to do, its obvious johnsher, its down to common sense, experience and yes, the law. so you're telling me that you can safely negotiate a single track NSL road without relying on your speedo but for some reason can't manage to drive safely past a scho... |

Remember, every mile an hour adds a yard of thinking time, so you should endeavour to keep your speed at a sensible level when faced with restrictive si... |

| I use it as a sanity check, especially when I've just entered a slow zone from a much faster road. I agree. I think the difference is between choosing to check the speed at a convenient time, as with the mirrors, and being forced to check at what may be a bad time. Exactly, its the knowing how to a... |

| I spent 10 years dragging a roadtrain through and around Germany. I think you will find that there are speed restrictions on all motorways in Deutchland, but when you pass through a de-restricted sign thats the time to put your foot down. But, you have to be sensible with it or you will still get ni... |

| Well well, my goodness. Ok, so my conclusion is speed humps on the roundabout, it takes a lot longer for a multi axled vehicle to cover each one, so entrance humps would mess it up. Either that, or a max speed of say 10/15 miles an hour. And i haven`t got an issue with approaching traffic, if i get ... |
