It would be my kids fault for running into the road then.

I’m merely pointing out that speed limits are unworkable for some jobs. They shouldn’t be, but that’s the pressure of being competitive commercially. I’ve delivered takeaways and you wouldn’t last one night if you stuck to the limits.


:lol:

Look at Shields Road past the Academy.
That’s as good a 60 as you’re ever likely to find, yet there was one fatal crash at the moor lane junction once and they made it a 40 in response. One person’s bad decision once in 20 years and everyone else has to suffer.

You wouldn't have a license at all after a while then.

Deary me man Dave. The limits are there so that even if your kids did stupidly or accidentally step into the road, there are still things we can do as a society to help to protect them.

These beaurocrats you rail against have probably been at enough RTA scenes to make judgments to try to reduce the carnage.

If that means my chicken tikka masala needs a quick blast in the microwave, it seems like a hardship worth suffering.

You would think so, but people demand their food is piping hot. Don’t you read Sunderland Foodies?

You could just do what the Asian drivers do and pretend you can’t speak English if you get pulled over.

Kids will be kids, and yes they will run out on to roads. I guess you can say that's their fault, but, the difference between surviving and either life changing injuries or death is 100% the fault of some bellend choosing to do 40 in a 30 zone.

Your second point is typically ridiculous. FFS you're delivering a cold pizza not f***ing blood plasma!:rolleyes:

I generally like your posts Dave but somehow on threads like this you always manage to come across as being absolutely thick as fuck.

It does like, but of course you know best mate.

The best driver in the world could be driving at 40, and hit someone and kill them. They might survive at 30. But at least he had more fun driving at 40 eh?

Remember this. For pedestrians, 80% of people hit at 30mph survive.
At 40mph, 80% die.
Scary facts.
I live on a quiet estate, a few year ago a rite prick used to tear down the street at least 40mph.
I pulled him one day and asked what his problem was.Kids regularly play in the estate.
2 days later I watched him again bomb down the road. So I waited the next time and hoyed an old doll into the road . He nearly f***ing shit himself.

I worked for a nice couple last year at the bottom of leam lane estate.There bungalow faces into the T junction.
A wanker came down the road at 6.30am still off his tits from night before and ploughed straight into the house .into their bedroom.iseen photos of the damage, how no one was killed beggars belief.
