Just showing what a poor judge of character you are. I doubt rd2003 would harm a fly.
Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.

No shared paths, just roads. It’s a) quicker and b) pisses off drivers like you

More bell bollards needed, IMO, if only because they upset and confuse certain people.

That is the very basic foundation of driving, ffs. Of course everyone should judge the appropriate speed based on the local road geography and characteristics, among other things. How could it be anything but? I gather you don’t drive at all, or are not good at it?
This is in fact further proof if any was needed of the dangerous fallacy of believing blindly in the limits set by the authorities. Single lane A roads have a blanket 50 mph in most places, but anyone who can drive and have done so on countless twisting A roads in the likes of Cornwall and plenty other places will tell you that a 50 mph is far too high for certain stretches, bends, cambers and other spots along those roads, and 40 mph limit should be in place. So yes, it is vital that drivers read the road ahead adjust their speed, rather than assuming if the government hasn’t told them to reduce their top speed to below 40 mph, then surely a very sensible 44 on a 50 mph road couldn’t possibly be too fast.

I don't drive, don't want to drive and don't want to be good at it (though if I did I'd be fucking great at it).
For the hard of thinking: I don't think anyone has argued that drivers should drive at the speed limit at all times and the Highway Code clearly says you should be aware of stopping distances in rain or where where visibility is reduced etc. which implicitly means reducing speed. However, the maximum should be treated as the maximum in all circumstances as I don't believe there is a situation in which it is safer to drive above the speed limit and I don't trust any individual driver to make that decision.

You have a wonderful trust in the authorities to set the maximum safe speeds correctly, for every single road in the country. I assume your trust in the powers that be extends to all our other laws and regulations, which you no doubt adhere to vigorously at all times.

I have very little trust in them to do any such thing, I just think having an upper limit of some sort is infinitely preferable to leaving it up to individual drivers given that it could never be made more dangerous by being too low.

Looks like a motorist to me, whoever can't tell the difference shouldn't be cycling anywhere.

False premise as no-one has claimed cyclists never jump lights. Just that it's a fairly insignificant problem in comparison to the harm caused by car drivers. Also, in three months of footage he finds eighteen cyclists jumping red lights? Cab drivers have to do twenty plus hours a week just to cover their costs; even if he worked the minimum possible over the time period, that's less than one every twelve hours.
Just repeating it as it’s true.Loving your quoting your own posts as supposed evidence of anything. Well done

It is as ture as anti-car Talibans stomping their feet at drivers breaking the speed limit in all circumstances also being whiny fucks.

Wow, fewer people killed by speeding drivers than by trains travelling too fast for the conditions, I didn’t expect that.

The vast majority of deaths on train tracks are suicides. Additional safety features or restrictions would mostly be moving the problem elsewhere and money would probably be better spent on mental health services.

The operating phrase of my earlier post being 'in all circumstances'. Whether some pople might foam at the mouth at the thought, it remains a fact that there is such thing as safe speeding, just as there is such thing as safe red light jumping by cyclists. It's not too much to ask that we all accept this and refrain from absolutist standpoints.The impacts of speeding and how to become a better driver with RoSPA - RoSPA
