Jimmy Mc Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Morning Dudes! What sort of statement to do you have to make dude? Let them know there will be an Manx Civil War if they try it again
dooahhdoo Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Jimmy dude, its just basically how I feel with the proposals they have said they will introduce. Cant think straight so I have an X roving reporter on the job
Jimmy Mc Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 << Cant think straight so I have an X roving reporter on the job >> i wonder who that could be! PMSL
dooahhdoo Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 OK Dudes................. I am pleased at the news the speed limit proposals have been dropped but even more pleased by the fact Mr Shimmin has recognised and addressed overwhelming public opinion. Since creating the online petition website 3,127 people have signed to show their opposition for an all-Island speed limit, and the Department's own public polling showed nearly 75 per cent were against the proposals. I openly agree something needs to be done to make the Island's roads safer but many people, including myself, believe speed is not the prime cause of most serious traffic accidents. I am glad Mr Shimmin is looking at other ways of improving road safety, such as extending the legal driving age, advanced driver training, reducing the drink/drive limit, educating more drivers and extending the period novice drivers must show R-plates. Also, speed cameras in built up areas such as schools and 20MPH home zones must be perceived as a significant step forward to reduce accidents. The online petition was a successful way of showing Transport officials that the public does not agree with their proposals for an all-Island speed limit and it is encouraging to hear public concerns have been listened to.
Cret Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Can you not add on "because the pr*cks usually don't bother thinking before introducing absurd new laws" on the end? Good work dude!
