Getting rid of the 20mph limits by some councils

[The PNP]

No. I deliberately accelerate to the limit every time it changes, regardless there may be nobody behind. And when there is, I do it earlier now...forestalling any moves by dummies who think they're about to take advantage of some dithering old fart.

So what you’re saying now, is that you don’t speed…..well, apart from when you. You change your story more than you change your socks

Duh...now you're being deliberately obtuse!

Read and digest: I keep it to 30mph in 30mph areas and 18mph in 20mph areas (give or take 10%). If that's your idea of speeding, then what is not?

As for accelerating before entering de-restricted areas, yes that's my policy nowadays. Anyone who fails to do so, simply becomes a sitting duck for the mob who have been following behind. Which as we know, can end up in a dangerous two-abreast situation.

You know very well that cyclists are exempt from traffic laws, when they then transfer these exemptions to driving a vehicle, then it becomes even more dangerous.

How true....Witness all those motorised red-light runners and kerb-mounters every day of the week!

So now you’ve actually managed to contradict yourself in the same post.
You really are mentally retarded.

Let's lay it out in simpler terms....I observe limits - except on the approach to de-restricted areas.

Btw how does your magic speed-limit gizmo handle the approach to de-restricteds? Does it speed you up before, precisely at, or after the limit changes?

Let’s lay it out in even SIMPLER terms, you observe speed limits, apart from where you don’t.

My “magic speed limit gizmo doesn’t handle anything, it simply operates to the limit I set it to. I, control everything the car does, and just for your information, by driving like any competent, half decent driver would, I am aware of everything around me, AND, if a driver looks like he will be attempting a quick overtake as a limit changes, I simply hold back and let him/her get on with it. Yes, I may lose a second or two, but I will be content, knowing that I have shown a little consideration, AND,that, unlike YOU, I won’t have driven dangerous.
One final point, if said driver is likely to go for a quick overtake, it’s far better that he’s ahead of me, he can’t do me any harm when he’s in front of me.

That may be easy enough in a car, with benefit of rear-view mirror, but in a commercial those tailgating wallies are often hidden from view.

So your 'gzimo' is permanently disengaged? How then can you avoid inadvertently exceeding the limit occasionally?

So if those shiny things attached to your dooos aren’t rear view mirrors, what are they?

As for my speed limiter, if you’d bothered to read what I wrote, I set the speed limiter to whatever the prevailing speed limit is.

Your blatherings are becoming more and more ridiculous each time you post.

Fyi, those 'shiny things' are wing mirrors, A rear-view mirror is located above and to the centre of your windshield - duh!

So, when do you re-set your limiter? Before, at, or after entering the de-restricted area.

Btw, when you remain at 30mph on entering a de-restricted area, how many vehicles overtake you? Because I'd suspect letting the first one go by, would encourage the one on his tail to also go by and so on....until the whole bunch you had behind you were past. A rather odd way to go about things if you ask me!

And what is the purpose of a wing mirror if it isn’t to provide a rear view? Incidentally, I’ve probably driven more miles in reverse in vehicles with only wing mirrors, ranging from transit vans to 44 tonne artics, than you have forwards.

I’ve got to honest, I’ve never counted, but like I said earlier, by being a proper driver, I will be aware of what’s going on around me, all 360’degrees of it, and I will drive accordingly.

Now, I would suggest that you do all the safe drivers out there out there a good turn, and put your driving license into one of your wood burners, and stick to your two wheels.

Those "shiny things" are, in fact, door mirrors. They do, in fact, offer a rear view of what is to the side or rear of a vehicle. Duh!

Wing mirrors were housed, as the description suggests, on the front wings of a motor vehicle.

A wing mirror/s may give a view to the rear, but they aren't your rear-view mirror!

Like I said, commercials like ours have a large blindspot to their rear - and I don't have x-ray vision.

None safer, mate. Particularly so, since adopting the pre-emptive acceleration technique.

More delusional drivel from you. What's more I don't have to suspect it...

Wing mirrors/door mirrors, whatever.....One thing they are not is the rear-view mirror!

Put it this way: When your driving instructor tells you to adjust the rear-view mirror before setting off, he doesn't mean walk around the car adjusting the wing/door mirrors.

The speed limit doesn't change until you reach the sign.

...and for the education of The PnP, it is also not a command.
