Use of Motor Vehicles on Byways - Page 8

Well that could be next, horses on footpaths, that is
illegal and of course dangerous to 'ramblers' children.

Perhap that is next on the agenda?

No, but the noose is tightening. I occassionally get
stopped, and as you know, the DVLA are tightening up on tax
disc evasion. No insurance no disc, so things are a little
harder for the darlings. Mind you will never stop it, but
life can be made a little more uncomfortable

These people really worry me, unlike folk using
unsurfaced roads.

Quite. A sense of proportion is needed here, methinks.
Coming back home at around midnight last night two cars sped
down the main but narrow road (30 mph limit; max 25 for
safety) in front of me. Coming to a traffic island used
during the day for schoolchildren to get across the road,
one went one side of it; the other went the other. At about
45 mph and beside parked cars on one side and houses (no
front garden; the open straight on to the pavement) on the
other. That's the sort of driver I want stopped, not the
ones enjoying a few thrills in 4x4s. There are far more of
the former category methinks than there are the latter, and
the former tend not to risk lives other than their own. The
latter, on the other hand... </mini-rant>
