You must be struggling so I’ll say it again “Irresponsible drivers are worse than speed bumps” (only difference I’ve removed “infinity times”).
Yes - I'm struggling, but I'll gamely try again.
Irresponsible drivers are worse than speed bumps at what? Worse at preventing GaryM from driving the car of his choice? Worse at damaging the cars of people driving legally?
You’re definitely struggling – You have never seen the street I live in and if anyone does 30 mph they are an a***holes, they have no apprehension for safety.
Then the speed limit is wrong. Reduce it.
The last street I lived in had the speed changed from 30 mph to 20 mph; the street recently had speed bumps put in. The traffic engineers and other relevant authorities got it wrong with the original speed limit of 30 mph.
So the speed limit was wrong, and it got reduced. Would GaryM have been able to drive his car down the street at 20mph? In general, was 20mph a feasible speed to do over the bumps?
The speed bumps have helped control irresponsible motorist speeding in the street and surrounding streets.
If they were breaking the law, then the answer is to deal with them for those offences, and to use other techniques to detect and deter them, not to put measures in place which will break vehicles that are not being driven irresponsibly.
You’re Struggling - a technique was used.
Yes, you're right again, I'm struggling. Anyway, I'll try again, this time with a little more emphasis on a key word I used, which was
other, and an explanation to say that when I wrote "
to use other techniques" (not "to use a technique") I meant other than the topic of this discussion, i.e. other than speed bumps.
Thanks GaryM for showing me that car, I would not blame the car or the speed bumps I would blame the a***holes.
I'm sure you would - that comes as no surprise to me whatsoever....
Struggling again – Is that sarcasm or are you agreeing with me!
Oh dear - you've got me again. You're right again - for the third time I am indeed struggling to get you to understand me.
It was neither agreement nor sarcasm - I was simply saying that it does not surprise me where you attempt to apportion the blame for GaryM not being able to drive his car.
You are struggling that much you are only editing what you want,
Actually what I'm trying to do is to cut down the length of the posts by only including the text I'm replying to.
But for the record safety in the street I live has improved.
The only time I’ve seen an emergency vehicles in my street was after a child was ran down (with an irresponsible a***hole driver), this was before the speed bumps were put in, when the emergency vehicle came into the street it was going slower than the speed limit and the irresponsible a***hole driver.
I'm very pleased that safety in your street has improved, and that you can show a statistically significant reduction in casualties.
You will never get rid of the irresponsible drivers with the current laws, rules, regulations, etc, etc. But if speed bumps improves safety in the street I live I’m all for them.
Would you like to explain why the current laws, rules and regulations are inadequate to deal with people who speed?
No - This is you trying to change the subject because you are struggling,
No - this is me asking you to explain something, but you're right - that is a struggle.
But hey - I'll try again, only this time I'll highlight the link between my question and your statement by the use of colour.
