    I will concede to you if you would hold yourself to the same standards that you set for Lucan - that were the above scenario to occur, you would move country or revoke your licence or conform to the Police's decision (even though it isn't backed up by the Law)

    However I suspect in my Scenerio you would either ignore the Police changes, or challenge them as unlawful.
    They are designed as advisory limits for trucks. Go buy a truck and get back to us about the sensibility of these signs

    Pointless, futile, absolute waste of time, effort and energy. School uniforms are instruments of fascism, and school teachers are, almost without exception, power crazed, terrible human beings. They got exactly what they deserved. Fuck them.
    I am guessing somebody spent a lot of time being "mummy" at boarding school!

    I am suggesting your loathing of teachers must be based on something in your past. Just as my perception of people in the legal field are parasitic leaches with no interest other than their own, based on my past encounters.

    Ah, well, yes.

    It's "leeches" by the way. Unless you mean some osmotic process by which the money in your wallet leaches into mine, in which case, sure.

    There you go, the value of a good education and teachers that care, right there! It sounds like you might owe them a wee vote of thanks after all!

    Not quite. A lot of trucks will fall over if they try to take the corner at the advisory speed.

    Even so, the amount of rudimentary science behind setting them would suggest that the Police will never be able to enforce the advisory speed on corners.

    Righto, I will bow to your expert knowledge.

    One question though. Can you explain the 95km/h advisory speeds for vehicles limited to 90? Does that mean they are supposed to speed up for corners? And if they're shit (which they are) what about 85km/h signs? And what does this sign mean?

    Until fairly recently there were three sets on SH94. A couple on SH87 were taken out a few years back so I assume they are used elsewhere. Pointless sign for any vehicle really.

    Pretty much, give or take 5kmh usually isn't the difference between life and death, unless it's a holiday weekend apparently

    Which is fine - if you're not biased.

    Me I have nothing against teachers (with the exception of pay - but I have that issue with everyone). Variety is the spice of life and all that.

    Now what part didn't make sense - not that it matters, as its very clear you won't listen to anyone telling your anything. But for shits and giggles - where did you fail to comprehend?

    Ah but that is strangely not the point.
    Rules are always being bent - but the key thing is, if you get caught in the wrong, and you know your in the wrong..................................you admit fault and take your licks.

    Being caught red-handed, and then saying you shouldn't be punished, and then claiming you are being punished and you should have the ability to punish your punishers.....
    Over a trivial matter.....

    Well lets just say that common convicts start small. Then bury their family in the back yard. Here is hoping that he has the mental ability to comprehend that he shouldn't do that again.

    Now the bigger dilemma - should we punish those who wear socks and jandals?

    May be in the next 1000 years.
