its the speed-around-like-a twat-then-slam-on-your-breaks-every-time-this-thing-beeps machine... wahey, more irresponsible drivers not having points on their licesnse to kill people on the roads! I dont get why people speed anyway, save... ooh a whole three minutes on your overall journey time and risk yours and others innocent lives in the process!!

three minutes? if i'm driving 100 miles at 90 down the motorway instead of 60 then it changes an hour and a half journey to an hour. that's quite a bit more than 3 minutes.

motorway is different.. i meant roads locally mainly. although speeding on the motorway is only a good idea if you're a good driver, and most people arent... my dad did st.albans to leicester in 50 minutes once.. it takes me an hour and 15 mins!
thanks ap... meh, just stressed about work so i'm wasting my time on here instead :/
If I did that I would probably not save any time because I can't drive :(

i'm sure you're a great driver cal... i'm great, but i get scared on the motorway a bit so i stick to local roads and always at the speed limit.. its fun to annoy business men in their big beamers by going 30 and having them stuck behind you

and it's not dangerous to purpously annoy other drivers?
hmmmm

I do that, but we are not purpously annoying them, we are just sticking to the speed limit, them going over the speed limit is whats wrong there fore being dangerous and making me cry

exactly.. its not like i slow down to 20, which is what my dad does when taxi drivers get too close... if that was purposely annoying them then that would mean my driving instructor encouraged me to be a bad driver... i used to get really scared when i was learning when people would drive really close even though i was doing the speed limit... people are in too much of a hurry nowadays, i wish they'd just slow down and relax...
