How to get speeding drivers to slow down.
This works every time. A car coming towards you is obviously speeding and
you, being a responsible law abiding citizen, wish it to slow down lest it kills someone down the road. All you do is point behind you and shout "speed trap", then watch as they slam on their brakes and stick to the limit. Some even thank you! -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

Some drivers apparently don't think they should co-operate with measures to make the roads safer for them and others. Toom |

Do you also object to being overtaken? I was flashed by some woman doing 35mph in a 40mph zone when I overtook her. Clean overtake, nothing coming, didn't cut her up, but got the "dickhead" sign. Obviously I had to accelerate over the speed limit to complete the overtake safely, but that's none of her business. Interesting when I got out of the car to discuss the matter at road works a few miles down the road she declined to engage in conversation. |

What the **** is it to do with you anyway? |

Or do you think that cyclists can also ignore the parts of the Highway Code they disagree with? Stop being a traffic cop and concentrate on your cycling. |

Because I am a responsible law abiding citizen and like to do my bit for road safety. How do you know the oncoming car is speeding? 34 years of driving experience dear chap and the solid evidence of their brake lights. If they are *NOT* speeding, why would they slam on the brakes, eh? -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

They get culled naturally by being hit from the side by cars. Stop being a traffic cop and concentrate on your cycling. I can do both just fine, thanks. -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

It puzzles me as to why there are so many pro motoring lobbyists on a cycling NG; surely they have more than enough forums of their own. -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

Borderline sociopaths. |
