New points

[Rat Catcher]

Very dangerous from our point of view insofar as our livelihoods are concerned.if you go fast you are in danger of exceeding the new limits,if you go slow the cunt in the back of your car thinks yous acting the bollox to keep him in the car longer,we cant win

If I'm paying you to drive me somewhere I'm entitled to expect you, as a "professional" driver, to be capable of operating your car in accordance with the rules of the road. It's the only tiny bit of skill that you have or ought to have.

I'll be honest and say I don't know all the various limits I drive in.If I'm speeding it's through ignorance.Those car reader things would be useful.

Not sure how Hal found it irritating. In every car I've experienced it in (off the top of my head Ford, Opel/Vauxhall, Renault, Skoda) it's been pretty passive, just a little speed limit sign constantly displayed near the speedometer. Some have additional warnings such as an orange or red symboi if you exceed the limit.

Garmin Sat Nav, 80Euro in Halfords, it shows your speed and tells you when you are in a safety camera zone and Bleeps to tell you if you are are driving over the speed limit within a safety camera zone.

You can set a speed limit on most cars now,
 Well Merc has it for years now.
 Also some taxi meter has a speed alarm.

And I forgot to say, it also shows the speed limit of the road you are driving on.

Pretty sure the Erm has a Masters on it !

[dalymount]

Ah now Ken,its christmas after all eh are you allowed say christmas anymore ?  Dont want want offend the auld mussies or anything ?

[Belker]

I doubt the Erm would be in any way seriously traumatized by my comment.

As fer the Muzzies and not offending them, I'm not a Tree-hugger or an animal
rights activist, but I respect nature, plants, animals, Etc. and I also respect the
food chain that provides me with my meat daily. What I do Not respect is Halal
meat and how the animal is disgracefully slaughtered, Google it if you have a
strong stomach. I see the animal rights activists out with their plac-cards reguarly
protesting about Greyhounds and Dairies and Puppies, but never a word about Halal !
