I think the argument goes like this: Jellybelly Harold Bishop's namesake is a cunt who is either lying or knows nothing about driving, otherwise he wouldn't spout such sanctimonious rubbish. Just obeying "the law" does not a good driver make, but no doubt he believes that obeying the speed limit (most of the time) is all he needs to do to stay safe. Scary that anyone can be brainwashed so easily by the government, especially this lying bunch of turds.

Just in case anyone needs to be shown why what he's saying is such utter rubbish, here's a copy of my reply to another poster:

You're seriously telling me that ANY regular, remotely competent driver doesn't exceed the speed limit at least four times every three years? Do you honestly believe that? Are you telling me that every time they go from a 30mph zone into a NSL, they don't start accelerating over 30mph until they've passed the sign? That when they go from a NSL to 30mph, they're already completely within the 30mph limit as they pass the sign? That they do this flawlessly, time and time again, without slipping up once by so much as 0.1mph? That when they're in a unnecessary loony anti-car 20mph zone, they stay entirely within it at all times, even if it's in the small hours? Do you think my scenario or yours is more likely, considering that we're dealing with humans here?
