She added that she had repeatedly asked the council to install a speed camera outside the restaurant in the hope it would encourage drivers to slow down.
You don’t need a camera. You need bollards.
The council being cheap lazy bastards have said ‘ooh… More temporary signs. That should work!’.
Restaurant owner: speed camera to dish out fines. Make them pay!
Road design should be that it’s impossible to approach that roundabout at speed. All good road design dictates driver behaviour, not allow them to make rash or irrational choices that endanger others.
I would have installed a concrete planter box in front of the store that goes deep into the ground after the first collision.
Genuinely. If the council is operating laissez-faire, then they shouldn’t blink when people take matters into their own hands by climbing onto roofs garbed in kevlar spandex and fighting drunk drivers on said rooftops using spinning kicks and batons whilst proclaiming that they are the night even though it’s still daylight and they have to keep holding on to the chimney to stop themselves from slipping on the wet roof tile whilst the fire brigade has to hoist a ladder up there to gently ease them down due to complaints of pants-wetting pleas to be let down.
Did they back out and get a better run up the first two times? That’s one tough car!
(I hope they do something about the obvious traffic safety issue here).
Why when I see a Volkswagen scirocco is always driven 2-3 times over the speed limit? It’s 3 am where the fuck you’re so hurry to go? “Oh I’m late for sleep, better drive 100 in a 40 risking killing someone”
This is why I’m convinced we need to start mechanically speed-limiting cars. We do it for ebikes, but god forbid we do it for vehicles 100x heavier. No, your 4000lb vehicle does not need to go 0-60 in 5 seconds just to get you to work everyday.
I’m all for this but there are too many car nuts and they all would just get around it somehow.
@Landsharkgun @Moonrise2473 With solid PT there shouldn’t be a reason for a private passenger vehicle to travel faster than 40kmph
Why are they trying to kill me? For eating a meal, a succulent Chinese meal?
