| But their entire actions are meaningless. They have no powers to report for consideration of proceedings, no NiP can result from their efforts and one has yet to hear of anyone receiving a warning letter from them or from the Old Bill as a result. If a letter were to be received the best thing to d... |

| I know the seating issue is very bad, but at least you were able to use the time to do something productive like read. I did a journey on sunday (Canterbury - Felixstowe at an average 25mph) so I know it can get a bit frustrating though. The government needs to get its act together and build at the... |

Perhaps if they only counted the figures for people who live in Cumbria, then maybe they will hit there target. I see from the local news that more people have been killed in the last couple of days.
Exclude the trucker from Perth and thats one less statistic to try and manipulate. |

| 30mph is a good default speed limit for villages. But these days they are probably applying them and and enforcing them for entirely the wrong reasons. Somehow we need to put speed limits 'back in their place' as useful servants rather then incompetent masters. Suffolk is a nightmare all the villag... |
