A Traffic Message For Pensioners

Blog: Frustrated Businessman
Posted by: knightrider45 Thursday 26th July 2007, 2:15pm

National Speed Limit applies! The sign attached to this blog can be seen on most Norfolk roads and where you see the sign, pensioners, it means the speed limit is SIXTY miles per hour on single lane roads.

Not 27mph, not 33mph, and, Heaven forbid, 40mph when you really feel like living your life on the edge. (Although its the opposite edge to the rest of us).

You may have three hours to complete your 10 mile trip to your Bingo session, but some of us have a life to live and can't afford to be held up by the likes of you on the roads.

Oh, I know that recently released insurance figures state that pensioners don't have many accidents compared to the rest of us. But, what those figures don't show is, how many accidents are CAUSED by slow driving pensioners who force other road users to take action by overtaking you lot driving at your silly, unaceptable, and illegal mph on the roads.

Your slow actions cause accidents. Fact.

And if you, or your car, are not capable of driving safely, legally and correctly at 60mph on our roads, then you, or your car, and prefably both, should stay off the road.

Maybe the promise of new, enforced, driving tests after a certain age will hopefully get this point across to you lot.
