Good to see you taking responsibility for your actions Lincs.Lincsaddick said:my apologies for turning a post about lack of services offered by Old Bill into a series of discussions on the subject of speeding and associated statistics ...

Perhaps this could be another consequence of driverless cars. People in quiet residential areas may become even more pissed off when an algorithm decides to use their road as a rat run?
After all, a computer is less likely to cheat the system than a person.0 -
I know it wasn't, but the point is unless all sat-navs/programmable cars were legally required to do this then there would be little market for it.JollyRobin said:
