    Speed limits on many rural roads in England could be cut from 60mph to 40mph under government proposals.

    The reduction should be considered by councils on roads with "many bends or junctions", the Department for Transport (DfT) says in draft guidance.

    Today's news item on BBC website - thought it may be of interest.

    It's bad enough that people don't do 60 when they can but if they can only do 40 bet they will only do 30! Slow drivers annoy me!

    I'm sure this one will end up in the same bin as "motorway speeds should be raised to 80mph"

    when we lived in cornwall we walked with the dog a lot.
    numerous times cars and bikes raced up to us and slowed.
    i have 'accidentally' broke mirrors before.

    once some of the lads were visiting and we were off to the pub. some dumbass little twat came at us on one of those trial bikey bumblebee buzzing things. he was left in the hedge in a stinking pile.

    the only way to deal the idiots

    so you broke the mirrors once they'd slowed, thus allowing themselves to pass you and for you to break the mirror? every try it to the ones that didn't slow?.......
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....

    Don't worry, I'm sure fatbob is just testing out his obnoxious people skills for reactions for when he is locked up in prison. Only way to deal with the idiot ;D
