Ah yes. Someone dares to say something sensible about driving and speed, and the car-haters are immediately all over him with petty insults while very carefully avoiding actually addressing the point (presumably because they know it's correct). Business as usual on URC in other words.

However I notice that Mark Goodge is not receiving the usual "troll"- type insults for posting sense about speed on URC (thereby harming the anti-motorist effort). Presumably this is because the car-haters are too scared of him since he has influence over parts of usenet, so they're just going to quietly sulk instead (because again they know he's right)? Pathetic, as ever.

Anyone who regularly drives at 50% of the speed limit with a long line of traffic behind them is a complete fuckwit who has no skill, no consideration for others and completely the wrong attitude. If all the effort that currently went into dealing with "speeders" went instead into dealing with people with that kind of attitude, the roads would be infinitely more pleasant for everyone (except the car-haters of course, but who cares about them?)
