HE could have just ignored the crossing, but no, he had to make the point that he was going to drive through it and there wasn't anything I could do about i... |

| Thanks Lynladd. Yours is spot-on too. :thumbsup: There are homes I know of with no more than a pavement separating the front gate from a 40 mph road, and yet the people, (including youngsters), manage perfectly well to cross it each and every single day. What’s the difference between that and exact... |

| Well said Big Tone! Isn't it about time that the pedestrians started to take some responsibility for their actions instead of the onus always being on the driver? I think they do, but it's the motorist controlling the tonne of metal. Our Town are wanting to bring in a 20mph limit, but as residents ... |

| Well, I can tell them before they start that it won't work as it fails to address the real causes of accidents. It is just turning the screw on an already failed and discredited policy. Around here a high proportion of residential areas already have 20 mph limits or zones, with no discernible effec... |

| After the hammering that Labour took at the local elections, they said that they were going to start listening and do things that people actually wanted. I don't think anyone really believed them, wisely it appears. They're so rabid about their car-hating that they're still doing it (and dressing i... |

So basically you like to throw completely unsubstantiated accusations around and then not stick around to defend them. What a troll. |

| Those who do deliberately and unnecessarily impede the progress of others, however, should be dealt with very strictly IMHO. I would say that those who break the speed limit should be dealt with very strictly. (And no, at the moment, in my opinion, they're not.) They don't deserve to share the road... |

| Folks, If I am driving at 70mph in the middle lane of a motorway, why should I pull over for someone flashing their lights and gesticulating in my rear view mirror? Wouldn't this be encouraging that driver to break the law? C. Yes, it would be. People tend to be hypocritical about this, basically w... |
