It seems to me that the measures in place catch out the drivers who just go over the speed limit. My answer to speeding is to use technology and then enforce the law. The details would fill a couple of blogs but we should be aiming to stop the boy racers.Michael Gradwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102079812955383309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601112239298331116.post-90398623859975568522009-09-01T08:58:40.710+01:002009-09-01T08:58:40.710+01:00Since you refer to driving through a village I tak...Since you refer to driving through a village I take it you drove from somewhere else in the country into London (Streetmap shows several places called Halton)<br /><br />Writing as a rural resident - there are major problems with speeding in villages. From local meetings I have attended it seems that all too often the offenders are locals who need repeated reminding about the speed limit. The signs which show a smiley or a grimace depending on your speed relative to the limit seem to me to be a less confrontational way of trying to address the problem than using speed cameras.<br /><br />Are you implying that speeding in villages should be ignored? If not then what do you think should be done?<br /><br />I do share your concerns about bikers - all too many of them demonstrate their view that the rules of the road don't apply to them e.g. overtaking crossing a continuous double line approaching a bend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601112239298331116.post-50326749264826946452009-09-01T01:38:52.287+01:002009-09-01T01:38:52.287+01:00try drivng through Coniston Cold!...from west to e...try drivng through Coniston Cold!...from west to east!<br />MPH 30...then nice lovely sign flashes at you 20 MPH,...nbo street signs,,,and the flowers entering Coniston Cold distract!Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608850359975556815noreply@blogger.com
