I am sure I saw Stirling Moss pulling some donuts on McDonalds car park. He is 84 you know.

At the Mobility Roadshow - pulling more than a mere donut...

My post said, I drive along the road at least twice a day. I drive along the road during the rush hour Monday to Friday and over the weekend. I have also driven along the road when the camera van has been there and when it hasn't. I have also lived within the area for over 30 years, as such I have good knowledge of the road. I have also run, cycled and crossed the road many, many times over the past 30 years.
If you do have a good knowledge of the road, it is dishonest to maintain that the speed of drivers on that stretch is not an issue.

It's not dishonest if it happens to be true....

It also happens to be true that your assumption that speed resulted in the road collision earlier this week was also wrong.

I wish the two ladies a full and speedy recovery.

It's pointless arguing with Henry Scat he/she/it is incapable of discussing anything with anyone unless they accept his opinions 100% and when challenged will simply ignore posts that finds it difficult to respond to and accuse everyone else of missing the point.

You'd be better off arguing with your kitchen table, it would make more sense than him/her/it.

I really hope that your Nan and Mum have a speedy recovery. Best wishes to them both.

All he said was that he "wouldn't be surprised" if speed was a contributing factor - citing instances that he'd witnessed at that point where speed had almost resulted in accident.

If pretty much anybody else had written the same thing i bet it would have passed without comment. Get a kin grip.

Anyway, best wishes to your nan kel-lou.

Thank you - you beat me to it...

Unfortunately people choose to read things that weren't written.

Anyway, best wishes to your nan kel-lou.
Seconded.

In 2011 the camera at Moss Pit resulted in 412 tickets for exceeding the 30mph limit. That doesn't include the camera van that is regularly at Barn Bank Lane (and ought to be there more often).

Still think there isn't a speeding problem?

There are 2 cameras at Moss Pit. That's 206 tickets each or much less than one per day? Lets say that the Mobile Scamera boosts that up to one per day over the course of the year, then you could argue that to catch one speeder per day the resources put into it are ridiculously out of proportion.

Can't wait for your typically belittling answer to this, or of course you completely ignoring the figures if that suits your purposes...
