Police Presence!!!!!

Please take note everbody that there seems to be an abundance of police activity in our area having a purge on speeding----all in the name of good

Well...being a bit of goody goody and an old woman (literally!) I do tend to stick to the speed limit (I fully understand why its there...to maximise reaction times especially in built up areas etc), but its really easy for people to wander over it accidentally...I wonder if they really would rather we drove/rode around peering at our speedos (no not swimming trunks! )rather than the road?

Sometimes if I feel an area warrants a slower speed than the limit then I'll go slower than the limit (such as outside schools, High streets, residential areas where kids play etc) then other road users behind get annoyed and sit on your tail, which of course is dangerous - especially on a bike.

IMO the only answer is compulsory further training and driver education - not fines and penalties to everyone creeping accidentally a couple of miles per hour over the limit. when I did advanced training it changed my mindset, surely this is the way forward in some form or other?

There seems to be such a zero tolerance to this nowadays...just like sticking a plaster over the real issues (driver education) and causing animosity in the process

Thats my 2penneth! sorry for rambling - thanks for the warning btw DT!

I never speed, so no problemo
