General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
I wonder what were they driving? There's likely some I teresting data there!
Shocking!
I hope they get SLAMMED for that.
how do you even manage that? was it just a particularly poorly designed road where they slapped a lower speed limit on it? because i cannot imagine being physically able to reach that speed on most low-speed roads.
Possibly just after a speed limit change?
Yes, the road has changed from 45 to 30, so naturally we'll go...checks notes...120.
Any kind of residential area with a long straight road...
Unrelated, but God damn I hate Reach websites. Makes me irrationally angry every time I stumble upon one.
Those are rookie numbers. 764 mph in a 30mph zone is where it's at nowadays.
If pedestrians don't vaporise into nothing then you're clearly not going fast enough.
“Well now you see, we are staging a homage to William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and we're a little late for the dress rehearsal. I'm playing the eponymous hero. Romeo, not Juliet.”
"You're playing the male lead in a homage to William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and you're late for the dress rehearsal. Do you think this is a sufficient reason to travel at 48 in a 30 zone?"
Lifetime driving ban.
Driving is a privilege, licenses should be revoked way more often than they are.
These people would then drive on the roads without a license and are likely to get into car chases to get away.
Yup. Zero excuse for going that fast anywhere on public roads.
Did they think they could drive faster than the radar who catch them or something?
Lucky car crimes don't count
