Speeding tickets. Why the angst?

[bogan]

Something like this maybe:

Exactly like that! and I like how it takes on the issue of over PC-ness as well

You're only focusing on the speeding aspect.

tis the title of the thread but did reply to your other concerns, see above

Strawman? And no someone on the pavement doesn't effect me* as for drooping litter, yea but then this is about "speed", a "speeder" doesn't affect me someone going slow does.


*depends on how they've parked

What took you so long Scube?

Who said it's about just speed? We've had many facets of the law discussed here.

So you can say absolutely that if you're walking down the pavement and see a person parked there that it doesn't affect you in any way, shape or form, not even a thought process, which could then cause you to change your path?

like I said depends how they've parked, if courteous then no, couldn't give a shit. If they are blocking the path then I care, to which my response was usually continuing my path just overtop of their car.

Morals are hardwired in to *most* peoples brains. The laws that follow morals are the ones we as a human race accept, the ones that aren't moral based laws are the ones we have a hard time agreeing with.

Just my 2c.

But that's just the problem, the morality issue doesn't work on *most* people hence the lowest common denominator syndrome is put in place to address it.

Yeah right, I'm sure you would walk right over the top.

Why not? done it before, a couple of times

Yes it probably does but no more than people walking two abreast toward me or a shop sign placed on the footpath or someone walking a few paces ahead while smoking etc etc

[Zedder]

how? if I get from A to B a bit faster how has that harmed you. Those that broke the law by speeding are talking about exceeding the speed limit not the conditions.

I'm not saying it harms me. But long term it could well affect me and others if the amount of resources are increased to address the speeding problem if it's seen as not being "cured."

Also, the article was about people not caring about breaking many laws not just speeding.

So in your world it's ok to have vehicles on pavements taking up space normally used for pedestrians and following your logic, pedestrians on the road taking up space normally used for vehicles?

Well that is the question asked in the thread. Trying to move it away is taking the thread offtopic.

Your obviously not in Wellington or Auckland CBD then

Besides under our loose definition of a road, a car on a footpath as with pedestrians, are on the road. Another of our brilliantly thought out laws
