Re: Bought a new Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic
No, but the sat nav shows the current speed limit roundel in the corner of the screen, on a section of road I use most days it shows 60 mph whilst the posted speed limit is 50 mph and has been so for a number of months now. The Traffic Sign Recognition system would display the correct limit.

Bought a new Range Rover Sport HSE Dynamic
My retirement present to myself, it’s a well spec’d vehicle already but the addition of a few bells and whistles made it my ideal vehicle.

Re: Associate cannot keep to the speed limit
Horse nailed it, she really must have a desire/motivation to keep to the posted limits, otherwise you or anyone else is just wasting their time with her. Other than speeding is her driving at an advanced standard?

Re: Motorists should be penalised for going just 1mph over the speed limit, Britain’s road policing chief says
Horse said In comparison with 'what'?

Re: Motorists should be penalised for going just 1mph over the speed limit, Britain’s road policing chief says

Re: Life sentences
Rolyan, you live in a beautiful part of the country, cocooned from the realties out there in the real world, and by the way, I would love to have the address of that rose coloured glasses shop that you frequent.

Re: Life sentences
"That rather bleak view" desevers some further discussion and whilst I recognise some of Martin’s arguments and agree with some of his sentiments I do feel that the “bad” greatly outweighs the “good” in society at large, take for example: - 1. Explosions, attacks in the street where vehicl...
