Speed awareness courses

Its a strange old world...
If a person commits a terrorist atrocity people bend over backwards to disolve the person of blame...oh they just have mental issues, it is the West's fault etc ec
Drive a little bit too fast causing no harm to anyone and you are the devil in a Mag shirt.
How about some perspective?

Saint Chunky.
Sunday afternoon no cars on a dual carriageway, 2 litre tdi,
Easily done.

Is this bit relevant to doing 81mph like?

Other cars? Motorbike? White vans?

What's the colour of vans got to do with anything?

Nothing

I thought you were an 'advanced' driver? Caught speeding twice in four years shows a rather large lack of awareness on the road. You should get more training.

Have you seen how fast these driving instructors go?

Tends to give you a bigger ego apparently.

Nothing

OK. Why mention it? Odd.

You'd tend to put your foot down a lot, to prove that you've got a better car than everyone else.

Well for one, North Yorkshire has one of the highest rates of road deaths and serious injures combined in England. So of course the police are going to be shit hot on speed there.

Since 2011, 38 adults have lost their lives on 70mph roads in North Yorkshire.

Biggest county in England by an absolute rural country mile so it's always going to be high up the list tbfl.

Open road, foot down, & all that.

Etc..

Diesels are not to be touched!

It does contribute, I do struggle at times when over taking, slight dab on the throttle and the speed jumps massively. Not trying to make excuses but it does happen.

It's per person. Geographical size doesn't matter. It's rural nature is what causes it mostly though.

Clearly skewed though.

Greater London has nearly 9 million people - how many 70mph roads though???

Country roads are clearly there to put your foot down in wild abandon

Edit: Apart from in the winter of 2001/02 when I hit a random patch of black ice

Ouch!!

Well I agree it's skewed towards rural counties - I said as much - but facts are facts and North Yorkshire has one of the country's highest serious or fatal road casualty rate.

It's a huge problem rural counties face because precisely what you say. Country roads, foot down. Closest I've ever came to an accident was some prick in a van overtaking a cyclist on a corner on a 60 road.

Absolute bellend. This was East Yorkshire mind.
