Momentous day

[drewf]

Vidi, vici, veni was my motto. Back in the day.

That sir, is the funniest thing I've read in weeks :-D

Back in the day, obviously - you don't go in for that sort of thing now...

Took me a few seconds to work it out, but very funny indeed

Good vid......

It's all vidi vidi vidi these days, Drew. Maybe a bit of victus, but any thought of veni is right off the menu when I'm away from the domus.

On a more sombre note my 21 year old godson was done for doing 70 in a 30 limit.....Dangerous driving,exceeding the speed limit

6 points and a £300 fine and banned from driving for 3 months...He'll never afford car insurance ever again!

More than double is bad....hes young he will learn

 

[Dan!]

Don't mean to be a wet blanket, but anyone that does 70 in a 30 deserves to be fined/banned.

No doubt he'll learn from it more so than his mates that haven't been caught (yet)

 

[Andyk]

100% agree Dan.......No excuse for that...I watched a young girl get knocked down by a car in a 30mph many moons ago. It will stick with me for every and if a ban teaches people to be me speed aware then so be it.....The car was doing 80 and the littlle girl did not stand a chance..........at 30 the prosecution said the little girl would not have died...

It is silly speeding, i understand speeding on the motorway but if its in town you dont double the limit....

 

[Chrisbassett]

Deserves what he got, 70 is way too fast. I saw a girl being ploughed down in Brighton by some kid, coppers estimated 55-60 through a pedestrian crossing on red. She was paralysed from the waist down. He didn't see the lights until too late as he pulled out to overtake a van slowing for them & he was going too fast to stop. Hard way to learn a lesson.

Oh, and glad that post disappeared, Benny. Bit too much.

I hope he does. That's OTT

Excellent vid! Have memories and a few photos, but sadly no video of my daughter aged about 2 driving my Range Rover offroad in Clumber Park. Car in low-range, first gear, on tick-over, with Sophie standing on the seat and steering. Less than walking pace, but completely unstoppable up and down the big hollows in the grassland and around the trees. Happy days

She can certainly park better than her mum now.

Have to be careful with just the vidi mate...

Just make sure the better half is not around.

Vidi nil tactus. Or something like that.

Agree with that, Dem. No excuse in towns and villages. I remember being a passenger in a friend's Fiesta when he hit 70 in a village. It was bloody scary and lucky 70 was all he hit.
