We will need someone walking in front with a red flag like when jaysay was a lad

Its actually damn hard to drive some cars as slow as 20mph.

That's the only problem for some people Bernard, when they get behind the wheel of a car Common Sense goes out the window

Most cars have 1st and 2nd gears

instead of constantly forking money out for signs that get ignored why not spend a lot less re-introducing teh tufty club or green cross code

also changing the law to make adults more resopsible for their actions when crossing a road and let the blame lay with the brain dead moron that walks out infront of cars

im all for teh driver having to be aware of whats happening around them but there are a lot of cases where people deserve to be run over especially those who think it fun to jump out infront of cars trying to make them swerve , it woudl be a lot better all round if in cases where people thought it funny to jump out infront of cars if teh driver could simply run over them without fear of prosecution and also be able to claim damages shoudl teh moron survive

I didn't refer to any meeting - I saw it in the paper this morning.

Apologies Gayle, Peter brought up the item on the 20mph speed limit at a meeting held last week of Lancashire Local. I assumed that's where the Telegraph got the story from.
