Speeding

There is a car that speed's at about 100mph down our road it has been spotted on numerous occasions in the afternoon by residents. I've seen it before at about 3.20pm and yesterday about 2.20 pm while I was cutting the hedge at the front. The scaffolders a couple of doors along nearly fell off the scaffolding with their mouths open. I asked one of them working on the 1st floor if he could see what the car was, it was a Black Audi. Nobody would be able to get the Reg at the speed it was going and also cars parked each side of the road. I rang the Police because anybody getting out of their car or about to cross the road wouldn't stand a chance. I don't know what camera's there are about but the speed is madness. The men standing outside the Bus Garage must see it in the afternoon.

Well the times you posted you've seen it are in the afternoon - so what's the problem?  These racing lunatics are many and all overr and more dangerous at night.  Why don't you see if any of your neighbours have doorbell footage?

Philippa, give up the crap you put on here it is so annoying. It wasn't dark it was in the afternoon 100mph. YOU DO NOT LIVE HERE SO SHUT UP CHANGING THE SUBJECT, TO THE ONLY THINGS YOU THINK YOU KNOW.

Lack of traffic on a road does seem to encourage some people to  put their foot down and drive faster thannthe speed limit.  It's particularly dangerous for pedestrians wearing dark clothing at night coming home from a night out.  It's hard to speed when the roads are busy!

I've seen a few cars traveling at high speed down Chelverton Road, possibly in convoy.The problem with some people is that the reality doesn't fit their view of the world and hence it can't be real. We have congestion at certain junctions with relatively few cars on the road. Oddly that the junctions seemed to have been made incrementally inefficient by alterations over time.The result large gaps on the traffic in other places where vehicles accelerate fast to excessive speed.I've seen cars traveling at speed overtaking cars doing 20mph on URR too. Something that would be very difficult to do on a 30mph road.Interesting that there was no cost benefit study in making all roads 20mph. In fact it made running buses more expensive which was not factored in an meant frequency had to be reduced.

Mr. Carter, you really are a dip stick, if it happens in an afternoon, then probably Chelverton Road, isn't so congested. This vehicle obviously knows this, that's why it does exactly what it wants and what it does is extremely dangerous, but only you could make a joke about something like that. It's a shame the Police car couldn't get out of Werter road last Friday as quick, might have caught a stabber. Or a twat on a bike going through traffic lights.

It really is amazing how drivers manage to reach these speeds along roads that are always so completely congested! Schrodinger's cars....
