Safe Speed Forums

This features on the Lancs prat site




I think I'd feel safer if they kept an eye out for ME actually


This bit seems to refer briefly to COAST



And this bit seems to show where the obsession with speed on the dash is a bit worrying



Have no problem with the other tips as these are more or less COAST based

So what about when you're within these new fangled 20 zones?


Can someone explain that one to me? I thought stopping quickly was the job of the brakes! (before anyone says: this seems to apply to areas with low speed limits, they really can't condone driving at motorways speeds in 4th or 3rd (or in my case: 2nd) gear, hence the brakes won't fade).

Drivers have been taught to depress the clutch when emergency braking, hence the gear setting would appear to be irrelevant anyway.

If you are in a "new Fangled 20 mph zone" the speed limit is 20 mph, this is the maximum speed alowed by law, its not rocket science.

(and I dont mean the science of the leaf you have with your salad)

The point is that the Lancs site said that in the absence of repeaters the limit is 30. In a 20 zone, there are no repeaters but the limit is 20.

It's not even 'salad science' is it.......

It's not realy science at all just common sense .

Yeah? so answer my original question:

What are you suggesting? that you do not have the mental capacity to work out when you are in a 20 mph zone, or a temprary 20 mph zone as we have in derbyshire??

do you drive?? Is it realy safe to have you in control of a car??

I've driven for many years without incident; my first car was a 3.0i Supra and my next was even more powerful, so I must have been doing something right.
I see you are about to get banned, please refrain from personal comments.

Back to the point: I'm suggesting that it may not be possible for anyone to know they are within a 20mph zone if there are no repeaters.

Well you clearly don't! What's that confession again? Oh, let me see now...

A ban would compleatly ruin my life your honor, i need this site as my kids are sick, I need it for my job, my wife has a bunion etc etc etc.
Now I know tatI cold havethought of this before I pressed the keys on my keyboard but I didn't.
I need help sir oh life is so unfair.

How much longer do you think it will be until you get bored of posting on this site? You know full well that this forum is about road safety and that nothing you say (or avoid answering) puts across a valid argument, don't you? Have you got kids? If one of them was run over by a driver doing 29mph outside a school, would you be OK with that, as it was 'only an accident' and not speeding?

Isn't it odd how TSM disappeared for a week or two and in his absence Mosis took over the role of shite-talker. Now that Mosis has gone quiet, TSM has re-appeared. As if in some sort of collaborated alternating rota. Can't be the same person though as Mosis is actually capable of typing.

That's because he hasn't learned the appropriate spiel yet to regurgitate onto our screens as verbal puke.

Who said that?

Who has an obsession with exceeding the limit? Can you point to the appropriate text please?

Has 'TSM' actually got a driving licence, and does he/she drive a car regularly ?

I see the work 'Troll' in front of me, in the failure to respond to reasonable questions.
