Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / April 2008UK getting smart - Two speeding violations and your license is GONE!!
Fine with me. In fact i say put these kid killers in prison. http://tinyurl.com/4rzwtz Just TWO speeding tickets and you could be banned from driving By RAY MASSEY -21st April 2008 Drivers face being banned for only two speeding offences under a draconian shake-up of road safety laws. Motorists caught going well over the limit would receive six points - double the current penalty - and a £100 fine. It would mean that under the totting-up scheme, they would lose their licences by reaching the 12-point maximum after just two convictions. The six-point penalty is expected to apply to those driving at 45mph or more in a 30mph zone, at least 57mph in a 40mph area or above 94mph on a 70mph road. The new regime would be enforced by a massive expansion of digital cameras which record average speeds rather than the fixed-point roadside Gatsos. It is the latest shot at motorists following a new three-point penalty for chatting on a mobile phone while at the wheel. With more than a million drivers already on the brink of a ban, the measure could see the number of disqualified drivers double.

But there was one bit of yesterday's tin foil hat turned todays mainstream media.... "The new regime would be enforced by a massive expansion of digital cameras which record average speeds rather than the fixed-point roadside Gatsos." I said government would want to do this once they got their tracking schemes in place and it was dismissed as tin foil hattery.

Criminal drivers are the biggest crime problem in the UK and USA and i want them stopped before they kill me. Stop being a coddler. " Criminal drivers are the biggest crime problem in the UK and USA and i " want them stopped before they kill me. Stop being a coddler. Most accidents around where I live are caused by drivers driving too slow for conditions. Those same drivers tend to be unlicensed illegal aliens who often drink and drive, too, don't know the driving laws and standards, and don't have the mental reflexes and mental training capable of being as good at driving as alert faster drivers are. Going too fast can be bad and even lethal, but high speed in general is far from the only consideration and far from being purely bad. A lot of people have a tendency to blame problems upon speed when speed is not to blame. > In article > <bda31955-fcfd-4147-9baf-a7cd61c638a7@n1g2000prb.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > not > to blame. I agree, I drive fast only when there is no car around me, I slow down when approaching high density traffic. Speed will save your life, many times stupid drivers merged into my lane without a warning. > > In article > > <bda31955-fcfd-4147-9baf-a7cd61c63...@n1g2000prb.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Speed, or speeding in the legal sense, in itself, is not automatically dangerous. I would be much happier on a road with thinking "speeders" (legal, not safety sense) than surrounded by uinthinking drivers going at or under the limit. > In article > <bda31955-fcfd-4147-9baf-a7cd61c638a7@n1g2000prb.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Most accidents around where I live are caused by drivers driving too > slow for conditions. HAHAHA, Yeah right. Can you give us one example where slow driving caused a crash.? I can just hear you now - "Some guy was driving 30 mph in a 30 zone and i wanted to do 40 so i was forced to pass him and ran over a kid".

(My rate is $35 per hour, with a one hour minimum.) >> In article >> <bda31955-fcfd-4147-9baf-a7cd61c638a7@n1g2000prb.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > caused > a crash.? Here you go, a fatal crash caused by a truck driving too slowly on the freeway, at only 19 mph. No doubt you want to coddle this criminal killer. http://www.theargus.co.uk/mostpopular.var.2185454.mostviewed.friends_died_after_ hitting_truck_crawling_along_motorway.php "Six men were killed instantly when the recovery truck they were riding in hit a lorry doing just 19mph on the M25." >>> In article >>> <bda31955-fcfd-4147-9baf-a7cd61c638a7@n1g2000prb.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > "Six men were killed instantly when the recovery truck they were > riding in hit a lorry doing just 19mph on the M25."

I keep asking SADDAM if he defines "Speeding" as a safety professional would or as a judge would. For some reason he never answers. He tries to connect it with accidents but uses it only as someone interested in collecting fines would. He hasn't even challanged my contention that a non-speeder could pass a speeder on the highway, using the significant meaning. I guess he isn't really interested in safety. > I guess he isn't really interested in safety. People who use the terms "speeder" and "speeding" are, almost as a matter of axiom, interested in the revenue from some aspect. Genuinely safety-minded people talk about "speed for the conditions", or "speed for the situation". As in, "the driver was traveling too slow for the situation" or "the carr was being driven too fast for the icy conditions". > Fine with me.

Good thing they didn't have a 42 in a 25 mph zone like you got caught doing, eh hypocrite? > Good thing they didn't have a 42 in a 25 mph zone like you got > caught doing, eh hypocrite? I have never been convicted of 42 in a 25, you liar. >> Good thing they didn't have a 42 in a 25 mph zone like you got >> caught doing, eh hypocrite? > > I have never been convicted of 42 in a 25, you liar. You're right. 41 in a 25. >>> Good thing they didn't have a 42 in a 25 mph zone like you got >>> caught doing, eh hypocrite? >> >> I have never been convicted of 42 in a 25, you liar. > > You're right. 41 in a 25.

Notice one person uses "caught" and the other "conviction." Both are probably right. |
