    Sounds like he was at fault for the accident that crippled him, too.
    Can't these people just be deported or something?

    "I don't speed," he said .... LOL.

    reminds me of a friend who complained about getting a fine; 'i was only
    doing 40'..."what was the speed limit?" '30'..."well you were speeding then,
    what are you on about"... 'yebbut 40 is a safe speed on that bit of road' .

    I suggest as a first step he proposes removing all the speed limits in
    his Dorcan ward of Swindon and let people drive according to "road
    conditions and common sense". That should pretty quickly create uproar
    amongst his constituents and get him thrown out at the next election.

    "Coun Roderick Bluh (Con, Dorcan), who has been caught by speed
    cameras four times in three years, says the number of speed cameras
    means drivers have to constantly look at their speedometers."

    I think he will find that actually it is the law which says that
    drivers must periodically check their speedometers...

    Couldn't resist it:

    "Apparently Coun Bluh believes that "the number of speed cameras means
    drivers have to constantly look at their speedometers." Clearly he
    was not concentrating during his driving lessons - it is of course the
    law, not speed cameras, which requires that drivers should keep within
    the speed limits. As a member of a party which claims to be hot on
    law and order I might have expected him to know this.

    In case there are any other bits of traffic law which may have
    temporarily slipped his mind I suggest a visit to
    highwaycode.gov.uk."highwaycode.gov.uk."

    My speedo broke a couple of weeks back -- and I have not had a chance to get
    it fixed. In that time I have driven a very significant number of miles.
    To the best of my knowledge I have not been flashed by a speed camera or
    (too often) by irate motorists upset by my dawdling.

    It is perfectly possible to drive within the speed limit without a speedo --
    you just have to leave a slightly larger margin.

    To be caught 4 times indicates that the guy is a complete pillock.

    It certainly shows that he is not even trying to obey the law - the
    margin for error is quite substantial, after all.

    But then, he is condemned out of his own mouth elsewhere in the
    interview. He is clearly one of those arrogant self-selected "elite"
    drivers who considers that his own judgment is so good that it
    overrides the law of the land.

    Obviously he's a prize w*nker, having forgotten one of the basic skills needed
    to pass a driving test, the ability to control speed and adhere to speed
    limits. He's an utter tosspot and if he were my councillor I'd be writing to
    him to tell him why I won't be voting for him...

    "I hit a juggernaut head-on" could be because the truck was on the
    wrong side of the road. '"I don't speed," he said' along with
    "I accept that I have done wrong and I am happy to face the
    consequences" does make him sound a plonker though. If he was done
    for speeding four times and accepts he was in the wrong, clearly he
    does speed. Maybe not as often or as excessively as others who haven't
    been caught, but that's not the same as "I don't speed".

    It has to be said he seems to have no apparently redeeming features that
    would make me vote him onto my council. Indeed, I'd positively vote him off,
    and let him know why I had done so too. 😉

    I was just thinking that trucks very rarely overtake anything compared
    to cars. Maybe I'm being unfair though.

    It is worth observing that "speeding" sometimes has nothing to do with speed
    limits. 30mph at 3:15 in the 30 limit in the residential road where my
    school sits is "speeding".

    That muast include me as well then! :-(

    The difference between me and the pillock in question is that I seem to be
    able to do it without collecting any points on my licence.

    "I don't speed" says councillor facing ban for twelve points from speeding.

    He needs some serious psychiatry to sort out his denial problems.

  15. How many other occasions has he exceeded the speed limit without
    getting done? I went through a set of road works on the M62 with a 50
    mph limit at exactly 50 mph the other day.

    There was a big sign stating that over 9000 drivers had been fined for
    exceeding this limit and yet there were people tearing past me. How
    many clues do these mugs need?

    Here the police even advertise exactly where their traps are going to
    be in advance and people still get done.

    He claims to have been caught within margins that are quite narrow eg '55 or
    56' in a 50mph zone, 'just over' a 50mph limit when overtaking a lorry.
    None of the cameras around here flash for anything less than 10mph over the
    limit, and that includes in 30mph zones.. I don't believe him.

    What a drag for them. The guy is disabled as a result of a car crash.
    How many more clues does the plonker need?

    What are the odds that the lorry in question was doing 50 and he had to
    do "just over" 50 to overtake it. 50mph limits usually seem to be in
    areas of pretty poor visibility, what the hell was he doing trying to
    overtake anyway?

    I was just thinking that trucks very rarely overtake anything compared

    Just this evening I was being reminded of a lucky escape that our family had
    when an oncoming lorry came over a blind summit pulled out to overtake a
    tractor that it spotted too late and made a head on collision with our car
    appear to be inevitable. To this day i do not know how the collision was
    avoided as there was very little room for me to pull over to the left. I
    think the car must have breathed in :-)

    Wagon drivers are normally very good but they do make mistakes
    sometimes.......
