That's one of the best Glug posts yet. The offence of exceeding the speed limit is *solely* supposed to exist due to safety. That's why it carries points. It is *nothing* to do with noise, or "lack of consideration" (although only a busybody would be offended by the intrinsic act of speeding in and of itself anyway), or anything else. So, as ever, your argument is horribly misguided, and goes towards showing what an utter berk you are.

I've got an image of you as a fat old man with a beard, who breathes very loudly, smells of a mixture of BO and (of course) booze, and stands around on pavements glaring at traffic for no particular reason, fires off anti-motorist letters and other complaints to local publications and councils, interferes with everyone every chance he gets, and is despised universally by all who he encounters. I'm spot on, aren't I? Go on, admit it.
