Driving and speeding

[SteveC]

I've also been photo'd (twice) going through green lights, and I've also been photo'd doing 28mph thru a 30mph camera... nothing's happened from any though (touch wood!)

I hate swedish drivers licence system!
Can cost more than 10000 SKR (swedish crowns about 1000$).
The knowledge test is so hard that sometimes the istructors fails when the "test" the test

The actual driving test is'nt that hard but requires a special car that there is a 2 year wait for in some cases (if you pay a ridiculy high price you can get one faster).


AND YET THERE ARE DRIVER IN SWEDEN THAT:

Thinks Carmageddon is the way you should drive!

Tries to drive under Busses or trains

thinks that driving 60MPH outside a school is the way to lessen the burden for the teachers

That should be chained to skateboard and pushed out on the freeway!

Im realy pissed beacause i dont have the necceary 10-20 thousand swedish crowns that taking a drivers licens costs in sweden

The fastest I've done on a Motorway is an indicated 120mph after taking 2 Hours to do a mile. I was the slowest car on the Motorway!!! and I didn't overtake a single car.
Driving at the Uk limit of 70mph with modern cars makes you feel like you're doing nothing. It's a bit like sitting in comfy sofa with nothing to do and trying to keep awake.
I feel speed cameras are an easy way for the police to produce good crime figures. I do agree with cameras for red light jumping. In Sheffield this is getting a real problem with drivers and cyclists going through a good 30 seconds after the lights have changed. I see this at least one or twice a day. One thing I would like to see though with camera at traffic lights is another camera pointing back the way you've come. Why? Well put it this way I'd go through a red light if a lorry behind can't stop in time. I don't fancy being crushed. The present system wouldn't show that, the police would just have picture of me jumping a light.
By the way I've been photoed going through a green traffic light!!

Technoid: Det är tråkigt eller hur!

Speeding is not necessary, but it's fun if you have a car that will do it without pushing it...
