    i do understand where everyone comeing from but ive the guy a chance are u saying that no one else on here goes over the speed limit a little sumties?

    if he was doing more than 50 in a 30 now that wud be stupid and dangerous,but if he was in a no speed limit and doing 51 or 52 then give him a chance.

    i can mention but a few on here that go a little over the speed limit (not on purpose)and correct it when notice but if pcolvin put a bit more information up about it that wud clarify what had happened..then people wudnt need to speculate..
    I ALWAYS HAVE AN OPINION !!! :)

    I agree 100% with this. Catch them when they've not long had their license and give them a verbal roasting and it may put them off doing it before it's become an ingrained habit that they do constantly.

    Far better a little bit of prevention now, than potentially having to deal with the results of their bad driving when they come a cropper further down the line.

    People are saying it's only speeding and it's on the mountain so not as bad etc, but I really doubt someone would be irked enough by the driving to report the lad to the police for only going a couple of MPH over his limit.
    I wouldn't report someone who's only doing a touch over the limit, but would definitely report someone who's obviously taking the p1ss or being a menace. I'm sure most people are the same.
    If you don't like my comments, don't cause me to write them. How simple is that! :)

    the worse one by far is when you come into a 30mph limit, you slow down to 30mph and some cun* passes you!

    That one really winds me up and usually involves flashing of lights, nasty hand gestures and plenty of tailgating by myself.

    Don't f*ck with the German Tank!

    Why are you bringing yourself down to their level and driving even more dangerously than them . Someone upsets you so you tailgate them. :?: Grow up before you become a statistic :evil:

    yep thats right.

    if you overtake someone in a 30mph zone that is doing 30mph then you deserve to be tailgated, there are speed limits for a reason.
