Hi ya ........."My bit"........The "Men" involved were Boys as we now know, they were also in a "curtousy Car" that was collected that day.........need we go any further ......I would also say that they were travelling at an extreme speed and not just an "excessive" one........
Enough on that one as its a very sad thing whatever the whys and wherefores etc !!
I think whoever it was earlier has hit the nail on the head it is standards that are adrift here ...........not speed !
There should be Driving standards observers out and about educating these idiots that have no respect for anybody else but thereselves and even that is sometimes debatable.......
Eg ..........A well known late Ferarri from the south ...........came up behind me on the TT course approaching Kirk Michael I had caught up with 3 cars in front of me way before he appeared from behind, I had already deemed the possible manhover "risky" and was trailing the cars. The "red idiot" proceeded to overtake me and the one in front of me and then "Push" his way in between 2 cars, and all this was without being able to see around the corner........
These are the sort of people that are creating these issues and spoiling it all for the majority of us that do respect others and their rights to use the roads as they wish to......IMHO of course
Get some video unmarked plain ordinary cars out there and start educating these people not nicking them. nick em and cause resentment, warn them and get them to respect us others once again IMHO (for what thats worth)
Obviously The Red devil (above) was and example and I could mention others a lot closer to home (as it were) as I'm sure we all could, but I believe the fact of the matter is simple, respect the roads and the other roadusers and these issues probably wouldn't be being disscussed now.......
Respect is the issue not speed ............
Cheers all
