A UST speaks: "I Can't Drive 55", by Sammy Hagar.

# Go on and write me up for 125
# Post my face, wanted dead or alive
# Take my license and all that jive
# I can't drive 55

nah, it's benders full of poppers you need to look out for.

That's not even a statistic.  "May have"?

<sigh>

Anybody tell you you're not supposed to snort them?

There is a village on an A road on the outskirts of Canterbury that appears,
going by the regular coverage in the local rag, to have a hardcore cluster
of pitchfork totting yokels who claim their lives are being made hell by
'speeding drivers'.

"How long til someone else is killed?"

To my knowledge, the only people to have died as the result of an RTA in the
place concerned were two scrotes on a, IIRC, nicked crosser which had had a
bigger lump fitted, who overcooked it on a bend and piled it into a wooded
area.

I might be wrong, but I seem to remember at least one of them wasn't wearing
a helmet, either.

Recently, another spirited young chap lost control of his car and smashed it
through the wall of house on a bend at the start of the village, which led
to another quality rant about speeding motorists from what appears to the
main possessor of the stench of stale wee in the group concerned, whinging
for more traffic calming measures (which are now being installed), and
reiterating the need for a bypass.

Actually, I'm not against the idea of the place getting a bypass, but
anyway...

The thing is, said young spirited chap was spirited in more than one way -
he was found to be well over the DD limit?

Speed is all too often blamed in itself as the source of all evil and
accidents, but it's not... *inappropriate* speed, is a factor in *some*
accidents, not all of them like you'd think it was if you swallowed all the
bile offered up by fuckwits like the ones campaigning above, and no amount
of 'traffic calming measures' or lowering of the speed limit, is going to
stop the inherently stupid from ending up smeared across the road / a tree /
the side of a house.

Na, I've got enough primates in the family tree who thought happy brown
thoughts. Really not my scene.

Nuclear wessel?

Don't know what they're on about, you will get extra points and a fine
if you are a bit too enthusiastic on the open road as of now and four
years ago. <fx: looks at driving license /fx>

Having been on the M25 just recently I'm pretty sure that over 80% of
cars were cruising in the 80 to 90 mph zone. I'm pretty sure not a
single one of them would say it was blatant speeding for the odd vehicle
to be going slightly faster than the average.
