Lot's are also blissfully unaware of their own noise as well.

They don't like you driving past them at midday but they'll walk past your house at 2am having a conversation at full bore because they're p...ed when your daughter's trying to sleep.

To be fair the only thing they (Community Speed Watch) can do is report to the Police people who are speeding.

If you are seen speeding several times you will get a call from the Police, and they'll keep a look out on the road for you.

If you're driving a lime green hatch back with 20" alloys and a 4 1/2" exhaust at 29MPH you have nothing to fear. The speed watches are in accordance with the local constabulary and it is up to them to vet any volunteers.

I am annoyed by members of the public that actually try to tell me off.

Two examples: A horse rider yelling at me to slow down when I was already doing 20MPH on an estate road.

She told me that she was going to report me to the Police so I shouted my name, address and number plate to her.

I don't have a problem with equestrians - in fact my sister-in-law and her daughter both ride horses on the road.

And the second: I was using the 'line of least resistance' through an 'S' bend on a derestricted road and someone in their front garden shouted 'Do you want to slow down?!'

The answer was no - I was accelerating up to the limit at the time and the road was nice and clear ahead.

You get the busybodies everywhere. They wind me up enormously as well. Sadly, you[ll never change 'em because their too thick to even realise that they're thick.
