Probably true, Graham. There's a lesson to be learned there and I don't mean in school.
Best Regards
Lang may yer lum reek

A very interesting man in himself and a whizz photographer!
Bob, I think the 20 limits near schools is necessary now due to the number of schoolrun parents who cannot abide by the zigzag line rules (nor yellow lines), nor can they walk more than 2 yards to deliver 'little johnny' from car to school gate, thus making it more dangerous for all the others trying to find a safe crossing point...
Very true used to be the lolipop lady at our vllage primary when the kids were young. The number of near misses by drivers was horrendous. I beleive now the lolipops are equiped with video cameras to catch these people. We also ran walk to school weeks. Probably easier in a small village than a busy town.

My brother was leaving his son's primary when he met a mother,clearly flustered who apologised to the member of staff on duty for being late. Apparently she couldn't find a parking space. She lives two doors away from my brother. I have often walked with him to the school -it take four minutes. Did she ahve another engagement? No. she was going home again.

I disagree completely with the 20 mph speed limit near schools. Do parents not now teach children road safety? If it is a primary school, the children should be accompanied on the pavement and if it is a secondary school the children should be aware of the dangers. Bring back 30 mph in built-up areas.
PS What happened to the talked about 80 mph on motorways. Idiots kill, not speed. Rant over. I agree 100%

That was the butt of my point.
At this time of year a petrol fuelled shooting-fish-in-a-barrel moment occurs as the french are provided with a ready stream of people in a rush to break the law. Not just from the UK, its just that our general approach to the limit in the UK is different.
We in the UK have a more "flexible/generous approach" to the limit with our police, who are permitted to consider style/conditions/traffic and make a decision. The mobile speed guns on the other hand are digital like the french approach. I happen to like the approach taken by the UK police in applying human factors to the situation.
The speed cameras in the UK don't give any flexibility. I have been done twice for being just over the limit. Sure the fine was not so big but it was annoying as on both occasions I was being quite careful.

Spot on - my last ticket was 1991 and up to early retirement last month covered about 30,000mls every year... Chose where you play.
