    Not to forget Arrowroot and Goodgulf Grayteeth.

    Or perhaps we should.
    You were wrong.

    Almost certainly. But only almost. Would really depend on the jury.
    Took two trials for a jury to finally decide that yes, doing somewhere
    between 70 and 80 in a 40 limit did in itself meet the criteria you
    quote.

    Bastards.

    A lot may depend or your definition of dangerous.

    A 5 year old at the steering wheel doing 100mph will be more dangerous
    than if he was doing 10mph.

    Take a bend to fast, it hurts, a lot see that as dangerous.

    There are a lot of tits out there, and in here, some people can handle
    high speed better than others.

    Smoking is dangerous, and that is banned indoors, maybe the solution is
    to ban speeding out doors and allow indoors only.
    It si no crime to steal from a thief. (discuss)

    Yes, you are, but DD on public[1] roads, endangers others
    At least one of the above can endanger others.

    [1] Public being a key word here.

    Hmm I do know you got a very shit deal.

    I also accept that if things go titsup when I'm pushing over double the
    limit, cage or bike, my fault or not, then I'm going to swing.

  10. Being that it's all relative, how about the fucking arseholes speeding
    in the fog on the M4 near Maidenhead in 1984 and one a few years later
    (1990ish)I just missed by minutes, having passed the area in about the
    same timeframe?
    13 dead in the first one, about several many in the second, some trapped
    in their cars and burnt to cinders.

    "Likewise, disqualifications earned by Irish drivers while in the UK
    will be recognised and enforced when they return to the Republic of
    Ireland."

    I'm sure that the pile up that I mentioned a while back on the M42 was
    partly related to speed (as well as fog). People driving too quickly
    for the conditions.

    And that is exactly what these scrotes do every day. He's got nothing to
    gain by pleading guilty either.

    What would happen if *every* motorist in the UK contested their speeding
    ticket. It is our right.

    Now you now that that you've nothing to lose by spending all that time
    defending yourself in court.

    Rest assured that next time I'm accused of some traffic infringement
    I'll be making sure all the participants will be spending considerable
    time in court with myself. If thieving scumbag scrotes can consume
    inordinate amounts of court time when they haven't even paid half the
    the tax I have, then I certainly want my moneys worth. Especially now
    there are plans in place to make me pay either way.

    I remember when you could just go for a ride.

    Now it's like an exercise to invade Iraq.

    1. Weapons of fast insurrection ? check
    2. Avoidance of insurgence hotspots ? check
    http://www.lbsafetycameras.co.uk/
    3. Anti laser guided missile detection ? Check Cheetah M25 Rider
    4. If anyone tries to stop you they're probably insurgents, bypass and
    proceed to target at top speed. Check

    Anything I've missed ?
