Speed limits only apply to motorised vehicles...

I always stop my engine when I speed and then coast.
Does that count?

Yes, such laws have been created by nannying busybodies who think themselves far above the rest of us.

on the contrary...the regulations come about because it becomes blatantly obvious we cannot do things for ourselves....

As to the education of children. Is that not the responsibility of the parents?

it's not about 'education'..it's about not abstaining from our responsibilities as adults.

It's about setting an example.

Of course, so far the only example I see set, is the one of ''I'm alright, Jack...s@d you!''

t sends the message that the council do a woefully poor job of setting up pedestrian crossings. If a human can tell it's safe to cross, the crossing ought to know that too. It's around time that crossings *stopped* the traffic, instead of waiting for a giant gap in the traffic...then people will use the things.

True...but the poor example comes from that adult who cannot be bothered to wait, despite the traffic flows..and who nips across between vehicles...


With the same sort of attitude as above!
