I wonder if 'that upstart copper ' actually drives a car himself ? or is he chauffeured around everywhere he goes ?

Back then the bike test was a doddle - couple of laps round the block, and as long as you managed to stop when the Examiner jumped out and put his hand up you were good to go.

Ah , I remember it well, on a Suzuki 120 !

I think my James 98cc 2 speed trumps any Suzuki .

There is a road near me that I'm always driving down on a regular basis. I can not even count the number of times there has been a plonker on my side of the road on the twisty bends.

And to top it off, they are blind bends!

Non of the offending drivers are speeding or driving even close to the speed limit.. Non of them are in performance cars or chaved up shopping trolleys either!

They seem to be ordinary drivers in ordinary cars driving at very boring speeds.

But they just don't seem to be in full control of the vehicle or have any comprehension of the importance of staying on their side of the line!

The only thing I can guess is that they are doing the BSM SHUFFLE and because the bends are so tight, they just can't turn the wheel fast enough.

On about 8 occasions I have been close to colliding with them and they look at me like I'm In the wrong?

Even though half of their car is across the line in the road on a blind bend!

Hi, Crossing hands etc is no longer a test fail within reason provided you have good control of the steering. Pull push is really for very inexperienced drivers to get used to steering.

Sad reflection but - when it went in one could argue that it was the stopping rather than the speed that killed.

Wonder if all speed limits were increased by 10% and the zero tolerance rule was applied, would everyone actually be happy?

Hmm that's certainly an interesting thought. I wonder if many of those upset would be happy with that?

I get the impression from watching younger drivers,driving through town,that they think, if it says 30mph then they must drive at that speed regardless of conditions.
