I'm sorry Steady Eddy, but your two documents didn't support your case.


The Association of British Drivers was unsupported conjecture - a political polemic not a study.


The Police Review contradicted the ABD by explaining that speed humps slowed traffic that in turn limited accidents, and that there was no evidence of undue speeding between humps.


The police also recommended that humps were introduced according to traffic studies rather than politics (something our local council has manifestly done).


The police observed hypothetically that damage could be done to vehicles, but admitted they had no evidence.


The police observed that there were other traffic calming systems but made no statement about comparative effectiveness.


In fact the only complaint was that they always seemed to be late in the consulting process, but at no time suggested they were not consulted nor that their complaints weren't heard or acted upon.


Why would you present these two documents as evidence of your case? You've willfully misinterpreted them.


Is the real case that you don't want any regulation because you believe that your freedom to drive with abandon is more important than the rest of us poor citizens?

Hmmm. Maybe, maybe not. They've shown that there is, arguably, a problem. They've proposed speed humps as a solution. I don't believe they've shown that speed humps are necessarily the correct solution. Melbourne Grove a classic case in point.


We have a problem - something must be done - this is something - it must be done. Sadly, that's the way of the world these days...

Sorry but I can't be biffed to lok back over the thread.

Has anyone yet made a humorous remark concerning there not being much of a view from the top of a speed bump?

If they haven't, consider it made.

If they have, I'll take my leave.

      What second hand car do people recommend?

      By Kipper_1972 · Posted

      Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)

      Up the reform

      If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.

      Can anybody recommend a good local plant nursery or garden centre?

      By Sue · Posted

      You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.

      Isn't that one of Farage's locals?
