Safe Speed Forums

How about a tombstone with Road Safety RIP being photographed by a copper using an LTI showing 90mph?

I'd suggest that that's really only meaningful to 'those in the know'.

I don't know if "speed cameras = R.I.P. road safety" would work or not. However we need to keep brainstorming around this and other ideas.

Also we need to kick ourselves up the bum and hit some news stories in the papers. We need to carry on buisseness as normal AND have a killer pettition. This thing is going for months.

Actually we've been getting so much news that I haven't been able to catch up with the 'Safe Speed in the news and Media' thing.

The petition stands at 8,967, and we have moved up to 13th overall out of (now) 3,077.

Even if it attractited an elite motoring viewpoint - it might filter down to all et sundry.

Bit of humour works wonders and makes the electorate think

Perhaps a reference to Hamlet " Is that a SPEED/SAFETY / ETC CAMERA I SEE BEFORE ME "

And then a quick view of an empty skull ,eaten by worms (=SCP )

The petition moved up to 12th overall when a higher ranked petition expired. It now has 9,840 signatures, so only 160 to go to get into the exclusive '10,000 club'.

We're just 794 behind the "St David's Day" one which is currently holding 10th place.

But our rate of climb has slowed a lot. I presume that we're saturating the 'nearby' opportunities. Ideas for promotion of the petition gratefully recieved; or better yet, just do it!

They might have a shock when they get a NIP for exceeding 20mph on their bikes. Even I might get caught and I am not exactly fit!

9999 One more needed

I have put a link to the Scrap Speed Camera on the PePiPoo site.

Let's hope the outcome matches the 1.6 million against Road Pricing.

Signed it, blogged it, and added it as a splash on my website.

BTW, if anyone else has a blog site that mentions it, please considering linking to my post and I'll do the same - the more blogs that link to each other, the higher they'll appear in search listings and help to raise the awareness.

Yawn.

What drivel.

I'm not signing it.

"cast iron case" - don't think so.

You went to the bother of registering just to post that. You can't have much of a life!
