if you were going to run down a padestran who was expecting it, then that
padestrian would be in the road and commiting suicide

i slow down for villaiges all the time, but you get the people who do 40 mph
all the way down the nsl roads AND through the villaiges so when yo overtake
them and then slow down when yu are supposed to, they sit on your arse
flashing and beeping you to go faster, and then overtake you at zebra
crossings and the like
why aren't there camera's and coppers doing these people for driving like
femal genitalia?

i've gone over a speed hump at 30, and it's made the car jump enough to trip
out the fuel cutoff, so something was a little wrong tehre wasn't it?
and anyway, they are there to slow you down, not to make you do exactly 30
mph, otherwise what would e the point?
