Sorry dude but I don't have much sympathy. You just gotta take that one the chin, whether he was hidden behind a bush or not, you shouldn't have been going 50 in a 30.
Exactly!!! I can't see the point at all in speeding!
time to engage brain then.
1. it gets you wherever you're going faster
2. its more fun to drive faster
i've never been done, but my mate has. IMO speed limits need reviewing - they're so stupid in some cases that nobody ever travels anywhere near the speed limit. motorways and dc's should be increased to 90, 50's to 70's, and there are thousands of inappropriate 30's that should also be increased.
obviously i appreciate that there needs to be 30's in residential areas & near schools, etc.
