Default Speed Awareness - this made me laugh!

Whilst researching the Speed Awareness course situation in Lancashire (see other thread) I came across the testimonials for the course on the Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety ( ) website.

Are they so thick that they don't realise the guy they quote in the first testimonial was taking the ****?

Can they really be that numb?

"Just think: if I hadn't have been flashed at 37mph on an empty road at 00.40am I would have missed out on this really great course!"

lol, good game - amazing that if you can't see more than a couple of car lengths in front of you you could be in danger of not stopping in time for a hazard.

I'm really confused...I tried the game and kept under the 30 mph speed limit but still mowed down and killed a load of schoolkids but I thought speed kills, how could this happen?

Indeed, brakes are Flintstone's feet through the floor efforts though

Oh, forgot to add - with good driving skills you can go though crossings with people on at 50mph without hitting anyone
