You dont need to. On the motorway for example you can be a whole 8 mph wrong and still be ok.

But on other roads, only 4 mph.

I'd think 62mph on the motorway would be far more dangerous than 78mph

Thats slightly different to day dreaming. I've always been aware of the speed I'm travelling at just as I'm always aware I'm driving on the right side of the road or in the right gear etc. Its part of driving IMO.

You've never caught yourself in the wrong gear?
It's probably easier to find yourself unaware of the speed limit than the speed your at TBH. Particularly when we have the bizarre situation that the one place we really don't want people driving too quickly is the one that doesn't have reminders of the limit.

I've seen enough complete numpties on the roads who have passed a test to convince me I'd rather have an arbitrary maximum speed limit.

Just means the current test is poor then, not that the idea is.

Lorries can only do 60mph and yet they manage.

I've put the car in the wrong gear by accident before of course but I've never driven around in the wrong gear without realising

It doesn't need a reminder because every road in the country is 30mph unless told otherwise. That is why all the other roads have reminders. TBH I can understand how people are unaware of the speed limit simply because they have not been taught properley. All this street lights stuff does is confuse people.

They should simply explain that every road is 30mph. If the speed limit changes you get a big sign telling you it has changed and then further smaller reminders every 200 yards (I think) telling you the speed limit. If you dont see a reminder within about 10-20 seconds of driving you know its a 30.

The most stringent test in the world wont weed out all the numpties.

There was one such no-nowt gobshite at the back of the Carnegie when I had a season ticket there, his constant loud mouthed bleating of "get yer 'ands in yer pocket 'etherington and get a decent full back/centre/winger/stand off/second row/forward" (depending onwhich way the wind was blowing that week) was one of the reasons I didn't bother renewing.

Carrying on from the guy at the back of you really.

I’m not too sure when the last time you had a season ticket but in the 06 season it was the most frustrating to be a rhino’s fan as we where just going nowhere. It looks like he has got his hands in his pockets since and got us Webb, Buderus and soon to be Eastwood.

This bloke at the back of you probably knew what he was talking about and it’s a shame you dismissed him because he was a bit drunk.

He wasn't drunk - he was an idiot.

And if you think 06 was bad then you weren't here for the bad years.

I’ve seen Leeds lose to Castleford in my lifetime. Don’t you think that’s bad enough?

I‘ve been a Leeds Rhinos season ticket holder since 97/98

A mere blink of an eye.

I'm old enough to remember when Cas beat us because they were good and not lucky.

Not old enough to lose your memory yet then.
