Especially the ones who wear fishnet tights

Could you gave a source for that, please.

Really? I thought it was Bigus Dickus.

I did see a girl cyclist wearing fishnet stockings once, I thought it was disgusting. I looked several times and was disgusted each time

You will be branded a threat to society by going over a speed limit where it is safe to do so, and suffer the consequences of your actions in a way criminals do not, more so than someone who is a real threat to our society.

So you saw his wife then? Although I feel her choice of legging would be less than ideal considering her name, Incontinentia Buttocks .

OK Joking aside !

Do you notice driving behaviours because :
there is a general lower standard so anyone doing anything 'decisive' is noticed more,
you have slowed a little so you notice others more,
warmer weather tends to encourage less clothing as we all try to cool off,
more cars drop their roofs so drivers are more visible and others can notice more visual information.

Does warm weather bring out the Nutter in us?

It is when the most road traffic casualties occur...perhaps it does.

When the weather is poor it seems drivers drive to the conditions they perceive, perhaps they see potential for danger and when that is obvious they take more care. There are still a large amount of collisions but the proportion resulting in killed and serious injuries reduce.

When drivers perceive that driving conditions are good they are more confident and more road traffic injuries occur.

Does that indicate that the "nutter" is brought out, perhaps in some cases it does.

Greenshed said,

This sounds like another Greenshed "Jackonory " moment. I expect it is way too much for you to back this up with stats that we can peruse for ourselves?

Are we taliking about Motorway caualties, Rural NSL, Urban or across the board in general?

My views do not represent Safespeed but those of a driver who has driven for 39 yrs, in all conditions, at all times of the day & night on every type of road and covered well over a million miles, so knows a bit about what makes for safety on the road,what is really dangerous and needs to be observed when driving and quite frankly, the speedo is way down on my list of things to observe to negotiate Britain's roads safely, but I don't expect some fool who sits behind a desk all day to appreciate that.

Most people would do something sensible, like factor in time of exposure of the various weather types, but greenshed hasn't yet managed to grasp this concept.
Have you factored in the exposure greenshed?
