Pro-speeding filth like Claire Armstrong get a kicking.
The woman with blood on her hands, who moderates a forum where posters openly fantasise about killing cyclists gets a pasting, along with other speedophiles:

To lop 10 mph off the speed limit on country lanes, apparently, is tantamount to declaring a fascist dictatorship. “These corporate Nazi New Labour bastards are intent on turning law-abiding citizens into criminals,” began one of hundreds of angry posts on the website of a prominent motorists' pressure group yesterday - before, bizarrely, imploring his fellow petrolheads to vote for the British National Party
The assertion that tighter motoring law is tantamount to dictatorship is further confused by a paradox. The world's most illiberal regimes happen to have some of the most anarchic and dangerous of roads, while the most liberal nations tend to have the strictest traffic enforcement and safest roads.

I'm in two minds about this as all the speeding restrictions in the world won't prevent a tw@t in a fiesta pulling out in front of you when your on your bike.
Good quote from the tories though:
Ms Villiers added that the Conservatives would "reform the driving test to encourage novice drivers to be better drivers, but without imposing excessive increases in the cost of learning to drive or hitting young people with unreasonable new restrictions on their mobility".
"Encourage"?????0 -

I wonder how this will affect perceptions of cyclists doing 20mph + :roll:
I wish they would do more to stop dozy drivers on their mobiles which, IMHO, is more likely to cause a collision (wheras slower speed just mitigates the consequences)0 -
Cyclists cannot commit the offence of speeding. Mobile phones were implicated in 25 deaths last year, speeding in over 1100.0

Deaths of who? motorists or peds/cyclists?
I hate to point out the obvious but some idiot speeding might well kill me when I'm driving as well! That would put rather a dent in my pursuit of cycling as a sport.
If the police were serious about speeding and reducing deaths due to it they could start with the A3, been driving on it to work for the last 3 weeks, travel at the speed limit and while I might passing half of the traffic, the other half are wizzing by. I've only once seen a mobile speed camera by the side of the road, thats a detection rate of lets see, 1 day out of 15 on half of the road, 1 in 30 possible hits against speedsters? At that rate a regular speeding motorist would take a year to lose his/her licence for driving at speed that are we are told dangerous by the government that also doesn't want to enforce the traffic laws it has made.
They certainly weren't there to catch the driver who flashed me last week for only doing the speed limit and therefore holding him up, or the jag (I think) doing 100+mph who went past me today...'Twas Mulga Bill, from Eaglehawk, that caught the cycling craze....0 -
More arse-wittery, this is a poster on safespeeding pretending to be a police officer, a serious offence:

So given that mags can endorse a licence or load a ghost licence with said offence - usually if the person caused/almost caused accident (especially if an injury to a third party resulted) or has been stopped repeatedly for this offence - we can endorse a cyclist's licence if the court judges that the behaviour warrants such - this may deter quite a few idiots out there.

Lancashire Police confirm that any internet weirdo can pretend to be a police officer, it is likely that the only people fooled by such a transparent imposter who says he's a copper but thinks he can add points to a driving license for cycling offences, deserve all they get.
