Frenchman Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 people who dont drive wont have realised that certain roads feel slower than others. For example: driving through a narrow street with cars parked either side at 20mph will seem fast but 20 on a completely open road no parked cars will seem like you are at a standstill. Certain road make you drive faster, it is psycological. I am learning to drive and on the open roads i find myself slipping into the 40's occasionally. Joe probably didnt know he was that much over the speed limit, as he says it was an open road. ok there is no real excuse for excessive speeding but what is safer traveling at what seems 30 mph (actually more like 35-40)and paying attention to the road or pottering along with your eyes glued to the speedo. sucks you got caught, atleast now you wil be slowing down as soojn as you catch a glympse of a white or silver van/estate lol. cheers Pierre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Could go round in circles with this conversation... Bottom line is... Most of us speed. I speed 99% of the time. However, if I got caught, I wouldn't moan about it. You were doing enough over the limit for the copper to bust you, and you will just have to accept it. It's all well and good saying the road "should" be a certain speed limit. But it's not! So you can't really complain that you got caught. The copper was probably having a shitty day and decided to make an example of you, or at least make you think twice about speeding again seeing as you are a new driver. It will have worked don't you think? You won't want to lose your license thats for sure. It sucks, but that's the real world.

love_trials Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) as pissed off as i am sure you are, i have to agree with everyone who says you have no reason to moan, if it was going to piss you off getting done for going over the legal speed limit then you should not have done it. you wouldnt go into a shop, hold a gun to sumones head and fire a bullet through their skull and then moan that you got a prison sentance for murder. the law is there for a reason, i am sure there is a 30mph limit on that road for a reason, stopping distances etc... they dont put limits on roads for the sake of it. the law is their for a reason, and that reason is not just to piss you off. speedlimits save lives, end of.

Brisa Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Aye I don't think its right people acting the tit around built up areas. I also dont go flat out along carridgeways etc but I know I am guilty of breaking the speed limit a lot. Not by a lot but general everyday driving is generally faster than the limit allows.

BONGO Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 joe you tit you have no right to moan and thats that. As much as i don't wanna bring it up, DJ's bloke who was driving was speeding and you wouldn't be supporting speeding in that case. It's your road????? WTF??? Its a road and thats the end of it. grow up and take it. i wasnt driving like a tit you were because you were doing 44 in a 30. what if you got run down by someone doing 44 in a 30. The first thing you would do is point out he was speeding. If you speed you drive like a tit. I do, everyone does. everyone speeds most of the time, but decent drivers with experience don't moan and bitch about police/'it's my road'/'he was behind a tree' etc etc. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John is spot on here, you have no right to moan, you WERE over the speed limit and that's that. 30mph speed limits are imposed because if a human is hit by a car at 30mph, his/her chance's of survival are around 65%. As soon as you go over 30mph, the chances of survival drop to something hideous like 22% (N) Another thing aswell, is there any kind of care home/school etc anywhere along this road? This normally drops speed limits down, there is a road locally that has a tiny school at the very end of the road, and the road is about 4 miles long, and it's 30mph for the whole road....

Brisa Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) Perhaps I own a dictionary just don't carry it about with me you knob! Obviously speed plays a part in road accidents but its drivers not paying attention that do the damage. If anyone should feel strongly about people speeding then I should be one of them. I got hit by a silly slag doing 45-50 in a 30. She didn't hit me because she was speeding. She hit me because she wasn't paying attention I know this as when the police investigated it they recorded a skid/tyre mark and braking distance of 75 inches AFTER the point of impact. Point is though, put in Joes place I bet you would be pretty miffed just as anyone would. Its human nature. Plus you state in your post, speed limits save lives and are there for a reason but at the same time admit to occasionally breaking the law. Thats what I personally would call hypocritical Oh and how about some grammar/punctuation. After all you pointed out my retarded spelling. And Bongo, you know as well as most people DJ didn't get hit by a normal driver doing normal everyday driving. He got hit by a scrote that was racing on a public road. Edit: If i get caught speeding, I will be pissed off as anyone is when the recieve a fine for anything. But I won't blame other people.

love_trials Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 i agree completley with bongo on this one, but fact is, we dont need to turn this into a post about DJ, and what happened. i am sure it isnt what em or his parents want to log on and see, they have heard the story enough. so i think we should close this now. Joe has admitted he is a mong, lol. We all have different opinions on this, and it is just going around and around. and joes insurance is going to be HUGE next year!!!

tomturd Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I can honestly say I dont speed, not sinse I crashed anyway. I think thats down to the fact that crashing knocked my confidence down, and also now I have a 23 year old fiesta to drive about in - which at its top speed of 60mph (65 down a hill before it gets too shakey) feels like your going light-speed. Theres no rush at the end of the day. The difference in time between going 30mph and 40mph along a short stretch of road (like most 30's) is hardly worth the risk of getting caught (IMO (N)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I'm guessing that Bongo meant that DJ got hit by something who was speeding. They didn't know he was going to be there and couldn't stop in time. Joe might not've been able to see someone and equally wouldn't have been able to stop in time. Anyway...

BONGO Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 i was actually meaning that because joe just got done and nothing happened, he thinks it was ok to speed, whereas in DJ's situation, it was very wrong to speed because of the situation that arose from it. Enough of it anyway. If you still don't understand me msn me so i don't begin dragging things up! i'm off to the post office, and i will probably speed on the way. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
