very-near said:So you argue 'for' improvements in driver training on speed limited vehicles on this thread, and then argue 'against' this principle of improved training in favour of lower limits on the budget speed limits thread currently residing in the bin
I think you just like arguing for the hell of it Asterix as your logic is all screwed up

To think the need to hear is over rated is folly.
asterix said:Linfordlunchbox/LLB/Very-near or whatever your name is today, just for the record, I am all in favour of improved driver training as well as adherence to the speed limit and the imposition of lower speed limits on rural roads as a default. My opinion on driver training was formed years ago when I realised the benefit of learning to ride a motor cycle as a way of improving the way I drove other, easier, vehicles.
It is you who is clearly screwed up, partly for infesting a forum, in whose main activity you have failed to show any real interest, purely to promote your own cause and also because you cannot see that it is possible to favour improved driver training as well as lower speed limits.
What is more you seem to think that there is a class of vehicles that are 'speed limited' whereas all motor vehicles are 'speed limited' on public roads.
Perhaps you would also like to point out any posts I made in the thread you mention; the forum search indicates that there no posts from me in it!

I do/did(dont bother with it anymore) amateur radio and that was pretty good. Never had a set up on my bike though.
My dad used to do CB when it first came over and hes told me many stories about it, how they used to have to hide radios under seats in the car, and just have an extension on the normal radio antenna to use as the antenna for CB.
