A heartfelt request

Thu 20 Nov 2008, 16:36

I'm closing this thread simply so that any discussion of speeding or otherwise can be kept in one thread (Igor's "Back to the Subject..."); that should make it easier for those who wish to ignore it to do so.

Perhaps we could arrange a Charlbury NO SPEED DAY or week.

Those that care – could all then go to the danger points - with their cameras and videos?

That would certainly catch those that SPEED - with enough evidence to prosecute – for the police.

The police can’t be every where all the time.

And it would certainly make people think – about that KILLER SPEED!

That's great Igor, but the police can only do so much. I understand the word and who and about what, etc.

However, it's still not sinking in. Is t!!!

Perhaps we have a Charlbury SPEED KILL meeting, soon before xmas/new year - when it gets even worse.

Actually Charlotte, you can call in to report speeding and dangerous driving incidents in and around Charlbury; it doesn't lead to arrest because it's your word against theirs but what happens is that the complaint is logged and if and when the driver persists in speeding or other endangering behaviour, and are caught the logged complaints are taken into account by both police and judge.

I do it myself when it's a serious breach.

The police are aware of the situation in Charlbury and are well disposed to working with the community to sort it out.

Let's start a national - NO SPEED KILLER - campaign. Let's inform the police and go to the press! LETS TOGETHER - KILL THAT SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!

My new driver works for the police doing research!

I'm going to volunteer to have surveillance cameras- back, front and on both sides of his car - when I go to work, back and to home.

Then, i shall install on my car- next year when I am able to drive again.

I shall also photo them and get their registrations, whilst being a relaxed passenger.

Then there will be no dispute!

Perhaps we should start a website to add these to reveal

Those SPEED KILLERS

To those who like the thrill – go to the race tracks

It's a shame David and Roger that you want to supress a real issue that effects us all in Charlbury. Fortunately, your attempts to personalise and trivialise the matter appear to be failing this time around. So much for your community spirit . . .

Get with the program!

Funny you too don't have last names!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grease Pen

David i am with you on this and as such i promise not to fall into the trap.The only reason that the other thread got me so het up was because Charlotte could not see that she was at some fault for what happened to her .Anyway i promise to leave it at that.

I think quite a few people would agree with Igor that many drivers go too fast or drive dangerously, it's not a crusade. I speak as a regular driver and a pedestrian.

Can I ask that nobody responds to Igor's new post about serial-killer motorists in nice cars. This one-man crusade to have all drivers lined up against the wall and shot is getting very stale!! Thanks in advance for your co-operation :-)
