I hear that the speed awareness course in Wales is now fully booked until 2050.

There'll be no one to police it, not even the police are happy.

I was in Upper Norwood last year ( South London)  they have had the 20mph rule for a while funnily enough it is adhered to much to my annoyance, I think the presence of cameras certainly ensures that.

Oirland are pushing for zero road fatalities or serious injuries by 2050. Presumably they intend to do that by pricing people off the roads...

Golden age of motoring has gone. We were very fortunate to live when we did.

Kids of today have battery cars running on auto tractor beams whilst the occupants play field of dreams 5 on 7g internet to look forward to.

At least there will be less accidents caused by fentanyl or meth.

Just got to watch out for those sneaky plain clothes copper motorcyclists on the big BMW 1200 GS's.

I used to travel regularly from Shropshire to LLandovery to see the folks and on down to the south coast. Some very nice driving roads :). One very nearly pinged me the first week I had the M140i. He saw me at a distance make a swift overtake, at exactly the same moment I saw him. 

He then followed me doing a dutiful 48mph for the next 18 miles. When he finally passed me and pealed off down another road, he looked at me like I'd pi$$ed on his chips  ;D

Unfortunately correct. When it was working it was a great piece of kit, when it wasn't... That said, I've Had a look periodically and its still on the road, up to 116k last MOT, so someone obviously bottomed out its issues. :-\

Cyclists in Wales be sure to leave enough space when overtaking cars  ;)

indeed  ;)
so while you're doing 19 MPH in the Evo ,cyclists should give you 1,5 meters when they overtake you  :D

you're going to wear out first gear  :( the rest will seize up  :(

My sister lives on Anglesey,  she won't get a visit anytime soon ,now it's 20MPH everywhere  :P
