"Its amazing to see how people were slowing down to have a look", If I'm not mistaken isn't that called rubber necking and therefore frowned on by the Police as it is likely to cause an accident and sure he should know that [/quote]

i think that is a positive idea to get people to slow down and a good educational tool for the next generation of drivers.

Good idea, but its not going to get the message across......people will always speed, its a human compulsion, especially in younger males .
BUT, i totally agree with promoting a 30 limit, especially in Towns, the amount of people i see when im out and about that do 40-50 through towns......its awful.

And when they get out of town onto an NSL, they stick at 40/50. And then look at me in horror and disgust as I overtake them.

Yes, that's quite an amusing experience - but do you get the ones who then have to re-overtake you at any cost because they can't handle the fact that a Morris Minor got past them?

I get that all the time when riding my vintage Yamaha motorcycle......they cant understand why such a ridiculous looking machine is going so fast!
