quote all of one of his rants just to tell him he's a loathsome
brainless trolling ****tard, as if we didn't already know that.

get a client that auto kills all followups then? thats what mine does,
as nuxxy is not as nasty as judit i tend to just put him in a rolling 30
days when he gets too much.

think I need to add 'Motorist' in the subject line to it as well

That's a good idea, I must try that.

I hope she took you out to a meal (or something similar) as
compensation.

She couldn't pay her speeding fine, so where was she going to find the
money to buy a meal from?

Oh, I thought you meant she didn't have any money at that time, so she
could buy you a meal when she did have some money.


She was in between jobs at the time and had no money of her own.


If you are bailing her out when she gets a fine where is the incentive
for her to learn from her mistakes?

She now has a job 4 miles away to which she drives. Her incentive is that
if she lost her licence she'd have to to *cycle* there.

My goodnes, a WHOLE four miles, how on earth can she be expected to cycle
that far!

Alan

depends on the land i guess but yes not far, what my wife does, it's
downhill on the way their with a steep hill nr the end also known as
Kington bridge.

it's a lovely commute she has and bar wind, is a easy ride.

40mph past a school is inexcusable IMHO.

Surely that depends on the circumstances?

There is a primary school near me on a single carriageway road, one side is
grass verge, the school side is pavement (standard width) and the speed
limit *is* 40mph. I suppose it would be excusable. Problem is that drivers
being drivers, they think 45 - 50 is OK in a 40 limit.

in the town i used to work, the main road into it, was past a college
got a fair bit of speeding along there a fair bit of the haven't slowed
but even so.

i'll admit that at pre 5am i don't used to stick to 30mph though once
past the roundabout i did as not enought sight lines and thats where one
of my collages (who may well still) used to ride in on his bike with no
lights...

Indeed - you can get one which is share ware and not bother paying the
person who developed it just by not registering.

It's great if you're a cheap skate.

"Primary position" the middle of a traffic lane. To take the "primary position" : to ride a bike in the middle of the lane in order to obstruct other road vehicles from overtaking.

A term invented by and used by psycholists and not recognised in the Highway Code.

Highway Code Rule 168 : "Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass."

killing someone than being paranoid about the speed I'm doing, if it is
just right for the conditions then I'm happy, if however I feel I am
going too fast for the conditions then I slow down.

Is that the approach you used when you took your test ?

It was so long ago I can't remember!

But driving conditins were a lot different then, I drove up the A1 and only
encountered one other vehicle about once an hour.

My experience show that these devices should be removed until they are set
up correctly.

So just to be sure, is that nine accusations, 1 guilty (by choice) and
8 dropped or not guilty?

1 I assumed I was guilty because I rather stupidly thought the devices were
accurate, 7 were forgotten because I asked silly questions, like can I see
the 'evidence', never heard another word, 1 went to court and that was such
a farce that I asked for it to go to the county court, the CPS wrote to me
telling me there was not enough evidence to secure a conviction and I was
offered compensation, still waiting to see what they decide about the last
one, if they press it I shall insist it goes to the county court as
magistrates courts are absolutely ridiculous.

I wonder how you passed your driving test, then? When I passed mine it was
a requirement that you not exceed the speed limit - my instructor (who was
given an MBE for services to driving tuition) taught me that speeding was an
instant fail.

There is a tolerance in both speedometers and enforcement cameras, so unless
you are insistent on maintaining precisely the limit and not 1mph less,
there really is no major problem keepign within the limits. Assuming you
take the trouble to know what they are.

Speeding is not an instant fail. I do know someone who exceeded the
speed limit on their test, the examiner knew this, but that person still
passed.

For values of "not as nasty" that include phoning in the small hours
to shout "murderer". In terms of malice I don't think there is a lot
to choose between the two. Actually since both of them are fact-blind
agenda-driven nutcases it is not even that interesting to speculate on
what differences there might be, I suspect.

You really are determined to provoke, aren't you Guy? Lets hope you
still feel smug when your scattergun unpleasantness hits a _real_
"nasty" person and they pay you a visit, eh?
