**Paul M** · 09-07-2005, 01:27

Yes, people who plod along at 30 really annoy me as well.

Tuftus · 09-07-2005, 01:29

No, but I am damn sure i could make some reports....

Gotta lot of miles to do tomorrow, will get the mrs to take a pen n paper...

The more miles you do, the more idiots you get exposed to...

nothing wrong with 30mph i do it all the time but it cost a lot in shockers and springs damn speed bumps

**Paul M** · 09-07-2005, 01:34

What really annoys me (in 30 zones) is people who slow down to 20 when they see a speed camera - the limit is 30, not 20.

couldnt agree more you can do atleast 33 without a ticket

There's a really cool stretch of road near here where the speed limit is 19mph

Of course, I say cool.....

Did you personally take that picture, or have you seen it with your own eyes ? I would suspect it to be a hoax if not.

Raistlin · 09-07-2005, 01:45

It's definately not a hoax.

A friend took it with her phone and sent it to me, I have since spoken to ther people who have also commented (independently, and they don't know this friend anyway) on it.

It's a (fairly) new housing development (the developers are styling it as a new village/town).
I don't know how they ended up with that sign though.

Just wondering if the 19 was because they wanted to make the speed limit 30km per hour:

30 kilometer/hour = 18.6411358 mile/hour (mph)

If so, that's bloody ridiculous - may as well say 20mph.

Besides, we use MILES per hour in this country.

Raistlin · 09-07-2005, 02:14

I thought about that as well. Wondered if they had somehow got a bit confused with what they were ordering.....

And something that annoys me is people that think a Speed *LIMIT* is actually a *REQUIREMENT*!

The limit is the *maximum* speed you are allowed to travel at. It is not *obligatory* to travel at that speed.

If people realised that, we might have fewer Road Rage (although a friend prefers the term "Tarmac Tantrum" and I can see why!) incidents.

Didn't think you drove Graham (oh, and I'm not trying to make a point, just trying to make sure I understand your point of view)?

What does my driving or not driving have to do with the subject?
