Anyone use a Radar detector?

[axil23]

I am going by all your posts where you think and indeed imply that speeding is ok. If you dont want to go over the speed limit, check your speedo, and drive slightly under. If you go 3-4 mph over the limit ( you go more), then it is YOUR fault entirely, and are simply trying to find an excuse for it. Plain and simple. Your arguments have been used ad infitium in many speeding cases. NONE of them hold any water at all.

 

 

 

Thankyou for proving my point and disproving every single argument you made in this post. It's only a matter of time before you injure someone or worse.

 

 

You remind me of this quote - Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

 

Lets leave it at this now.

You like making other peoples points dont you. Lets just leave it there. You want to speed, and you wont stop until you seriously injure yourself or others. ANd even then, chances are you'll think it was a one off.

HAHAHAHA. You are the funniest guy I have come across. You are making me into a criminal and suggesting I will kill someone by doing 2-3mph over the limit. Get a life mate.

 

Over and out. Can't be bothered with people like you. Go waste someone else's time.

Umm you CAN kill someone by going 2-3 mph over the speed limit. It has been proven numerous times which is why the speed limit is set to the speed it is.

 

People like you need to be FORCED to retake your drivers test again, or at the very least see the effects that speeding has on other people. As i and hundreds of reports, including coroners reports have said, just a couple of mph over the limit is enough to take someone from serious injury to death. But i guess you think the law doesnt apply to you. Going from some of your other threads too, that certainly seems to be the case.

 

Anyway, i will agree on one thing. Lets leave it there and agree to disagree. Nothing short of a death or jail time will get you to change your way of thinking.

Can you please continue this via PM.

It is doing nothing to advance Consumer knowledge.

Speed cameras are there for a purpose. Dont want to get fined? Dont speed. Comments like yours are not welcome here.

 

Yes, to raise lots of cash for the evil Camerati.

 

As for 'I drive under the limit. I only ever go over on a motorway or dual carriageway when overtaking. Unlike some people, I'm not a dangerous driver nor out to run people over. The speed limits are there for a reason. Even going 5 mph over the posted limit is enough to kill someone if they get knocked down.

 

That says it all really, you probably cause more accidents by driving like this than hundreds of minor speeders.

 

ACPO guidelines, generally adopted by the fuzz and the safety camera pratnerships give you 10% + 2 before any action. If you apply that to kills and seriously injured at 1 or 2 miles an hour over the prescribed limit then there would be bodies everywhere.

 

Additionally, many signed speed limits are wrong or have been applied contrary to the Highways act.

 

There are also published studies which actually say a driver with a camera detector is paying more attention to the road and his speed than a 'normal' motorist so in fact is a safer driver!

I know it refers to Scotland but the authorities south of the Border and in wales are guilty as well.

its very rare people get done for '2 or 3MPH' over the limit.

even more in some cases

don't forget the '2mph +10%' generally accepted speedo error calc used.

 

the bottom-line is 'a speed limit is not a target'

 

you don't HAVE to drive at that speed.
