Speed limit

Some comments from the usual "cc knockers" are the normal own little worlds again

Let's be honest 5mph is a very low limit and hard to keep to if you are Towing or have a MH, 10mph is achievable though. Also if you are constantly looking at the speedo you have more chance of hitting someone or something than you are if you concentrate on the road. I wonder how many people have actually been hit on club sites and how many of them were the driver fault or the pedestrian fault for not looking and just wandering into the road. 

..in first gear on Rickover 5mph is very achievable 

I won't mention the Club site name in case it is frowned upon but recently I saw a naughty chalk board outside reception where the warden wrote down the reg numbers of the cars he had seen speeding. I thought it was a good idea & new to me. I think it would probably work too. Regards Roy 

What concerns me more are the children who cycle the wrong way round the site .One day an accident will occur,then who's to blame , the driver or the parents of said children ?.

The site staff are constantly going around the site for various reasons, but they just seem to turn a blind eye to rule breakers.

So what's the point in people staying on site 'informing' on these people?

On page 1 of this thread a warden has said reported issues will be investigated. That's not turning a blind eye, Ian.

So, are members to flag down the warden as he hurtles past on his tractor, and point out that the car that he just went past was speeding?

Now you're being ridiculous even by your standards, Ian.

I've seen that as well, Roy, but can't be sure where. I think it's a great idea.

Sorry absolute rubbish, auto gearbox on tickover is fully achievable,even MH's with manual boxes have 1st gear. 

If a few people were asked to leave the site because of their excessive speed. I bet even those members and non members who think they are above the rules would soon learn to drive properly.

I know I'm a fast walker, so taking a wastemaster back, in the cold, in the rain, I am not dithering about.  So having a new arrival with 'van in tow tooting at me and waving for me to get out of his way did not produce a kindly reaction.  I dont know if they then left the site, the club or the hobby, but they would at least know what one member though of their rule breaking attitude.

Last week on a CC site a car with caravan attached passed our pitch at a speed that was obviously way above 5mph. The outfit was followed by the warden on his bike, appearing to be trying to catch up with the outfit but seemed to be failing in his quest, the gap between the two increasing rapidly.

I have the answer to this problem. Once sited all cars should then be removed to an enlarged car park so there is virtually no movement on site except for leavers and new arrivals. Been on sites in Holland where this is the norm.
