| Guys; flogging a dead horse. Andy wants you to sign his petition, he does not want to hear why his logic is flawed, hence he will not. The strongest message will come from the fact that no one capable of rational thought will sign a petition merely due to a bitter individual's need to introduce 'ru... |

| Thank you for all your comments so far regarding this petition even if they all seem extremely negative, but everyone has to have their own opinions. All I'm asking for is a change in the highway code for these types of road not a total spend on road signs etc. This will help people be more aware o... |

I'm more inclined to believe the theory that they are cheaper to deploy than speed humps, and are not legally restricted to 100mm in height! :oops: Yes you are right. Having a motorh... |
