Yup another thread full of holier than thoes.
Give the OP a break - it's obviously it wasn't intended as a piss take of the seriousness of what he's done, more of a piss take that he's been a right muppet.
Some people really need to get off their high horses in here.
CoG - you should be fined, whipped, rolled in honey and fed to bees. That's just for being anywhere near Sedgley.
John the Monkey said:Speedometer Inaccuracy;
The amended Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 permits the use of speedometers that meet either the requirements of EC Council Directive 75/443 (as amended by Directive 97/39) or UNECE Regulation 39.
The Motor Vehicles (Approval) Regulations 2001 permits single vehicles to be approved. As with the UNECE regulation and the EC Directives, the speedometer must never show an indicated speed less than the actual speed. However it differs slightly from them in specifying that for all actual speeds between 25 mph and 70 mph (or the vehicles' maximum speed if it is lower that this), the indicated speed must not exceed 110% of the actual speed, plus 6.25 mph.
For example, if the vehicle is actually travelling at 50 mph, the speedometer must not show more than 61.25 mph or less than 50 mph.

From Hansard;
Lord Allen of Abbeydale asked Her Majesty's Government:
- Whether, in the light of the increasing importance of speed limits, they have any plans to make it easier for the private motorist to have his speedometer tested for accuracy.[HL839]
Lord Whitty: The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, as amended, allows the use of speedometers that meet the requirements of EC Community Directive 75/443(97/39) or ECE Regulation 39. Both the EC Directive and the ECE Regulation lay down accuracy requirements to be applied at the time of vehicle approval for speedometers. These requirements are that the indicated speed must not be more than 10 per cent of the true speed plus 4 km/h. In production, however, a slightly different tolerance of 5 per cent plus 10 km/h is applied. The requirements are also that the indicated speed must never be less than the true speed.
A vehicle meeting these requirements would not be able to travel at a greater speed than that shown on the speedometer and a driver could not, therefore, inadvertently exceed speed restrictions. Her Majesty's Government have no plans to introduce instrument tests.

Wigsie said:Snapper you know I hate the holier than thou brigade as much as anyone, And I think CoG being back after the fastest flounce/return in history is great, but there is certain things you don't joke about, speeding is one.
Anyone that has witnessed what damage reckless driving has done to people would agree, there are a few on here that have been victims of such things
I bet the majs. really loved her for that.'aird, who represented herself, began by telling magistrates she had checked their sentencing guidelines on the internet.
She informed them that they could impose between four and six penalty points or hand down a 28-day driving ban."

Speeding and inappropriate speed (eg when wet) may not be the direct cause of accidents, but the consequences are so much different when things go wrong. Unfortunately modern cars look really protective but dont offer much protection to either the occupants or to anything/one they hit despite all the adverts about safety.
