Jelly babies or marshmallows also help - seemingly it is the gelatin that 'firms things up!'

Thank you pippo.

My Mam (who insists that 36 in a 30 is not 'really' speeding) has just had her 3rd speeding ticket within 2 years. From what she told me, even though she did the course the first one because she has reoffended she gets the 1st set of points along with the next lot. 3 times in the same place!!!!


I really would check on the Motoring board.

Sorry to disappoint your mum, but 36 mph when the speed limit is 30 is clearly speeding. "Speeding" means travelling in excess of the speed limit and therefore this is. This is another case that is beyond rational argument on the matter and is therefore such an unreasonable opinion that is, in my view, is impossible to hold on any reasonable basis as it is so far in conflict with the facts that I rule it out as invalid. Your mum's opinion is less valid than mine because it is not based on the facts and no amount of opinion will cancel out or prevent any penalty imposed for speeding which this is regardless of and irrelevant about your mother's opinion. There is not even a possibility of an argument over a borderline case. There is a clear line that is set and 36 mph is so clearly over it and is plainly and blatantly in the area covered by the concept of the word "speeding" that it is not possible rationally to say that it is not.

There is a reason for speed limits and research that shows that people are more likely to be killed if someone is travelling faster, even though I know how irksome it sometimes it is comply with them and to be going along at 30 when it seems really slow. In fact, I think most people are incapable of complying with the speed limit as no-one else ever seems to slow down for 30 mph signs on slip roads but sails through at 40 and over. This actually makes it dangerous for me to comply with the speed limit, but the danger is caused by what seems to me entire rest of the world showing no evidence that they even noticed the signs (people generally fail to notice things that I spot) let alone ever complying with them. However, it works both ways: irritatingly! People will travel at 40 when the limit is back at 60 and then be speeding once the 30 sign, that they seem oblivious to, is up - and even repeated signage does not seem to alert most people. They want to do 40, whenever they are.

As regards your mother's opinion, I suggest the following appeoach (though not really). Namely, do something that she dislikes and then reply by telling her it was not really what she thought it was. I am sure that then, all of a sudden and magically, the boot will somehow immediately move to the other foot. It always does. Thus showing how wrong she is!

We have been missing your midnight chips.

Or am I behind the times and you have a different job now, I'm not good at remembering stuff like that.
