after watching Police Camera Action tonight...

OMG.

I feel ashamed of myself.

yanbu.

Totally not worth it. I'm one of those freaks that drives at (or under) the limit.

pjmama · 05/08/2010 22:45

I'm a freak too - sticking stoically to the speed limit, usually with some tosspot trying to shove their shiny four-wheeled penis extension into my back bumper. Heavy footed drivers are my pet hat!

YANBU

It was pretty powerful wasn't it

pjmama · 05/08/2010 22:45

Ha ha!! Pet hate!! (what kind of freak has a pet hat....)

BuzzingNoise · 05/08/2010 22:46

yanbu. Speed limits are there for a reason.

MrsChemist · 05/08/2010 22:47

YANBU - I don't speed. Even when I'm in a rush, I keep thinking, what if someone steps out, or if a police car is round the corner. I just can't bring myself to do it.

What happened on PCA?

WillYouDoTheDamnFanjo · 05/08/2010 22:47

Yanbu to the power of 10

Don't try to never speed again. Just don't ever speed again. Using the word "try" sounds like a handy opt-out clause - I know that's not what you meant, but I have absolute zero tolerance of speeders.

Ladyanonymous · 05/08/2010 22:49

Its profoundly affected me.

I have 6 points and never thought I could ruin someones life by rushing.

I can't say I will never speed can I? I can't see into the future.

I can say I fully intend not to ever again...

i was in tears watching, and i thought Cerys' mum was so dignified.
if that was to happen to my child as a result of some bastard's arrogance, well i don't know what to say.
for Cerys, her family and all other families affected by such fucking idiocy

Ladyanonymous · 05/08/2010 22:53

Thats like saying I will never be unfaithful, I will never take drugs, I will never hurt anyone I love, I will never speak to him again etc etc - its completely unrealistic to say never....

I did kind of respect the guy who did it for having the guts to speak honestly on camera about it.

Ladyanonymous · 05/08/2010 22:56

I don't obviously respect what he did.
