Whatever the technicalities, speeding through Chideock is dangerous

We all know that to drive at more than 30 mph through Chideock is dangerous and, dare I say it, illegal.

All right, someone got a road name wrong in the traffic regulation order, but the right intention was there, and everyone knew it.

If they didn't, there were enough signs - in the correct places - to tell them.

Wouldn't it be nice if people said ‘I know there was a technical error, but I was in the wrong and I accept my punishment’.

What do I think of people who claim back fines, some after more than 10 years, which they thoroughly deserved? Pathetic!

And, in answer to the oft-trotted out bleat that ‘it's all about money’ (which it isn't), you can prevent the authorities earning any money at all by keeping to the speed limit.
