Some of you lot do make me smile. I’ve been moochin’ around in HGV’s for about 23 years and the only thing that has changed since April 6th is I now don’t have to worry about a plod car being up my jacksie when I’m crackin’ on!!
More skid marks in the last couple of weeks??
Jeez,give me strength!!!

I’ve only seen one and that was a supermarket trolley and the skid marks led straight into the hard shoulder. Can’t remember which motorway. But I shouldn’t think speeding was the issue.

And yeah, I agree about not having to worry about police.

My favourite bit of this thread is when this guy says…

spooky70:

…like it’s something to be proud of. :laughing:

no disrespect to spooky but,
Sometimes people feel the need to express a time period which is in relativity to the subject matter,
it helps them sound justifiable to input an opinion. :grimacing:

.
personally, i couldnt give a rats asp,
times change and things move on , either sheet or get off the potty.

Heh, I suppose what I should’ve typed was,

‘23 years keeping whatever I drive, the right way up no matter what the speed limit of the road or my take on what speed I feel is relevant for the conditions’.

Is this a better comment for the TN pedants? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Maybe because it is does justify the opinion eh?
Experience is the best teacher and those with less experience may do well to listen,… as we did when we had less experience.
You are right, times do change, …principles do not :bulb:

I tried, but someone lowered the max’ limits and then accepted some form of foreign input to fit limiters when clearly the maximum canny still not be attained legally .

Spot on Spooks,it’s much better eh,I reckon if you want to do 50 then do it and likewise for those who want to do 40 but if they would be good enough to let us by then everyone is smiling.
We should all be free to do what we feel is best as long as it doesn’t stop the bloke behind doing likewise.
