the quest for safety
So you have never *ever* drifted even .001 mph over the posted limit?
Why do you find it so hard to believe that someone could spend their driving career remaining within the law? Were I to state, "I've never burgled anyone's house", would you counter with, "So you have never *ever* just nipped in through an open door and alf inched someone's ceramic ashtray?" I see little difference. And if he had once popped 0.001 mph over the speed limit would that devalue his point about keeping to speed limits? Seems a bit of an easy way out, saying 'everyone does it', as if that makes it OK. Lots of people assaulted each other in previous centuries, did the fact that lots of people did it make it socially desirable? |

Seems a bit of an easy way out, saying 'everyone does it', as if that makes it OK. Lots of people assaulted each other in previous centuries, did the fact that lots of people did it make it socially desirable? They point is someone who it being all smug "I never speed" then drift over the limit on occasions. You can't have both. I try to stick to the limits and the maximum and choose an appropriate speed, but know that I have drifted on occasion over the limit. I used to do things like 80 in empty 70 areas on occasions, but it didn't do anything for me. I've got nothing to proove so don't bother, keeping my m/cycle licence is more important to me. I'm not perfect by I try as best as possible to stick at or below the limit. I just guess Guy is Mr Perfect then. -- This post does not reflect the opinions of all saggy cloth cats be they a bit loose at the seams or not GSX600F - Matilda the (now) two eared teapot, complete with white gaffer tape, though no rectal chainsaw |

... I just guess Guy is Mr Perfect then. I wouldn't suggest anything of the sort. I am not a particularly skilful driver so I have to work at driving safely and legally. Most of the time I can't be bothered, so I go by bike. -- Guy === WARNING: may contain traces of irony. Contents may settle after posting. http://www.chapmancentral.com |
