Here's some to be getting on with:

http://www.speedlimit.org.uk/gallery_speedreduc.html

The ludicrous nature of the trolls' unconditional support of speed cameras, and the extent of their wish to make driving unpleasant, is revealed by their 100% advocacy of the reductions such as those above which are sweeping the country. Whenever anyone gets caught speeding, no matter what the limit, the trolls are the first to say that it was "perfectly fair" and the motorist was "endangering lives". Yet no-one who knows anything about driving could possibly really believe that reductions like the above are necessary from a road safety point of view. No, the aim here is quite clearly to make motorists' lives a constant misery simply for choosing to drive, by forcing them to travel ridiculously slowly, and punishing those who dare to drive at a more realistic speed. As a result, road users are dying because of this ridiculous overemphasis of speed limits which these days often have no real-world relevance whatsoever.

You've heard of killer bees; now you've also heard of killer trolls. Self-righteous, callous bastards. How many more people will die before they realise that they can't bully drivers out of their cars?
