Thanks John, I was thinking more of some of the other comments. I agree we have become to cautious over some matters, you do have take some risks and I know my parents did with me despite what happened. I live in a part of the UK, semi-rural, where breaking the speed limit is the norm and hardly anyone gets prosecuted; and when they do you get the usual nonsense of "Haven't the police got real criminals to catch!" These are people too in their sixites who are the worst offenders (it is an area with a lot of retired people). They seem to think that speed limits are there just to annoy motorists and why shouldn't they drive at 50 or 60 mph everywhere? The notion that they are more likely to kill someone does not occur to them.
This is even further away from AR matters. So thanks again John, I did realise no offence was meant even though it was taken.
