For the love of god please do. Or start a thread on a forum somewhere about speeding http://www.pepipoo.com/FAQ.htm

 

Now anything on the football from anyone?

 

I thought Harding & 2 CBs were quality - impressed me.

 

Harding looks very good and with a good LM in front of him could prove a real find.

 

2 CBs excel in no nonsense - just what we have needed.

 

Just need to add some pace to the wings and some creativity to the centre of midfield and I think we have a very good team.

I hope that the administrators of this board are going to do the following:

 

1. Make a statement regarding their opinion of speeding on the UK road system.

2. Pass on the names of those who have admitted speeding to the police so action can be taken against these law breakers.

 

Some people don't seem to see a problem of going 100, 110, 120mph on the motorway and then coming on here telling people. Well, in my opinion this is exactly the same as someone coming on here admitting they mugged someone or r*ped someone. The law is the law.

 

Hardly!

Why would it be me? I have already stated that I don't like driving at speed myself - or are you conveniently overlooking that post? By the way, perhaps you would like to let us know if you have ever had an SP30 on your licence, or if you have ever broken a 30mph speed limit and gotten away with it? I suspect that if you have a driving licence then the answer to that will almost definitely be "Yes" - in which case you are hoisted by your own petard.

 

Nope, sorry, I have a completely clean licence and always have done. How can you ask the question and then claim I am "hoisted by your own petard" before you hear the answer. I don't think you should be so quick to judge, particularly when you don't have the facts.

 

Anyway, let's not get all caught up in a thread about speeding when we could be discussing saints. You have admitted you were wrong and I'm happy to leave it there.

100 mph is against the law and potenially dangerous.

 

Prats like you who condone that sort of irresposible behavior and brag about should be banned from driving

 

Yeah right!!!! I was a recent driver awareness course - after getting done on a camera for doing 36 in a thirty - the course was good but basically taught you to observe the 30 and 40 in built up areas - they did n't really seem to much concerned about high speeds when people are travelling in the same direction. It was more about country roads and single lane traffic. kids who have just passed their tests and have zip all experience but to be honest the driver has over 25 years experience drives in a new car with a good braking system and does circa 30000miles a year. The conditions on saturday were absolutely perfect with fantastic visability so can't really see what the problem is. I do 40000 motorway miles a year - and the problem lies with people who are totally unable to understand how the motorway works - people should drive on the inside land and not dwaddle along in the middle lane at sixty!! The speed limits on motorways were set back int he sixtys when people used to live in the dark ages technology has moved on and so has people's abilities.

Speed kills when used at the wrong time in the wrong place ,or in the wrong conditions.

 

Obviously driver skill comes into this equation.

 

I am a retired police driver,so have been trained in advanced driving,so I think I can comment.

It is very rarely a good idea to drive at these sort of speeds on a busy motorway,as other traffic is unaware of the speed of approaching cars from behind.

 

Only if you have been trained to do so safely,then you are relatively safe to do so. IMO

 

The motorway was n't busy at nine o'clock on saturday....... my friend has done the police course (he is a customs officer) and said the message was it is ok to drive fast as long as you do it safely. We did it safely, the conditions where good and it is an environmentally and mechanically advanced vehicle.

Or you get people pulling halfway into the next lane before they even look or indicate.....so busy daydreaming, it doesn't occur to them to look in their mirrors.

 

The amount of dangerous driving I see up and down the M1 is ridiculous, and as I drive past the culprit, I look in, and they're always away with the fairies or chatting - completely oblivious. And all crawling at 70.

 

Or you are driving legitimately up to the speed limit, try to overtake someone, only to have to swerve back in because some complete t*sser has used a high-sided vehicle to hide behind when changing lanes so he can do 100.

Why don't you just ignore the thread and stop bleating? If every thread containing non-saints related drivel was removed then there would be very little left to look at. The "Driving from London" thread ain't exactly enthralling Saints related content is it? Who started that one.....oh! Edited by kpturner
Can't spell "Saints"

True - and we can talk about that on other threads. You don't have to click here you know. It is not compulsory to look at every thread, especially when you already know it is full of junk that doesn't interest you.

A) THIS IS THE JUST BACK FROM THE GAME THREAD. To hear peoples opinions on the game thay have just returned from. Not the "Is it right to speed home from a game of football or infact at any other time/do you have any points on your licence? If so i'm a better driver than you becuase i dont" thread.

 

B) I was asking for a lift to the SAINTS game tonight. So it is correctly titled thanks. If i had put "build up to tonights game" "Tonights Team" then i wouldn't have the correct title.

 

Thanks

Surely that is the post match reaction thread??? Threads always go off topic anyway.

Yes I went on one too pretty good I thought

 

Like you I was caught 36 mph up Lances Hill which I thought was a bit unlucky .

 

Sorry if off topic but the game did finish three days ago

I work here and don't see the attraction, however I am duty bound as part of my employment to say "Welcome to Blackpool", ( or is that "This is Blackpool and you are welcome to it" ? ). It really is a wonderful place between New Year and Easter.

.. which brings us seemlessly on to this...

 

http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=16930

 

Slow down people ffs. All this wanting to get where you are going by yesterday is sheer madness, if you are driving a journey of 400 miles or 20-30k a year, you owe it to yourself to enjoy the journey. Stick Classic FM on and relax, you'll still get there.

 

An alternative might be to leave a bit earlier perhaps?

 

How fast is it acceptible nay safe to drive TO the match then?

OK, I own up - it was me! Poor old KP Turner - having to endure all that abuse from apparent do-gooders who've never a done a thing wrong in their life. I bet they never lost your virginity till they were married either !! Sorry to ressurect the thread, but only just joined Saintsweb - couldn't resist after hearing the slating I got. BTW, I really enjoyed the post match curry - it was worth the hurry !

We got home to Herts at a similar pace and also had a curry. If my driver had gone slowly we too would have either had to gone hungry or used a service station. Well worth keeping your foot down, using a bit of extra fuel and rounding off an away day with a traditional curry.

I am not revealing my driver that day but those of you who know who I am will be able to work it out for themselves..
