got banned for racing on the road didn't you?

hoping he gets hammered is a bit harsh when you don't know where it was or the circumstances.

big difference IMO between a 30 limit and a 40 limit in terms of risk
I got banned for racing on a DUAL CARRIAGEWAY. That was 5 years ago and I served a 12 month ban for it. Even then I was exceeding the 70mph speed limit by around the same amount as this twat was exceeding the 40mph limit by.

There is a VERY VERY distinct difference between a Dual carriageway and a 30/40mph limited area. 30/40mph restrictions are in towns and villages, where children could be playing etc.

I am not suggesting that it is right to speed on a Dual carriageway, but at least the majority of people are travelling at high speeds. In a residential area, people just aren't prepared for a car to appear travelling at over 70mph.

Well put christian fallen foul nof that one myself and got in big rouble a long time ago on a faster road, i always say theres a time and a place for it, a 30 isnt it.
