Speed limit

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. 

There is no need for personal insults, Tinners.

Wouldn't you be better off explaining which bit you disagree with?

Have you never seen wardens exceed the 5mph limit on their tractor? I've seen it regularly on CC sites.

Don't they turn a blind eye? I've noted numerous examples on here, as have many, many people.

I don't expect an answer, because you have made it abundantly clear that you accept no criticsm of the CC.

I agree it wouldn't work.

What is needed is for people to follow the rules and for wardens to enforce the rules.

What personal insult?

I think it is rediculous to suggest that wardens hurtle past as you put it on their tractors, look up any defintion of hurtle and you will find its involves not only high speed but in an uncontrolled manner, The Cambridge dictionary actually includes the words in a dangerous manner. 

Can any of us honestly put our hand on our hearts and say we've never once exceeded 5 mph on site? Really?

I'm pretty careful about following rules and I agree that stopping speeding is the one rule I'd like to see upheld above all others but I dare say at some stage I might have gone over 5 mph, no matter how carefully I drive.

Seems a lot of "holier than thou" nonsense on here, though!

Here we go again! Ian, you suggested members should flag down the warden. Why? There, is an office to go to rather than interrupting someone's work. That is the bit of your post which is ridiculous and I'm not even getting into the hurtling issue.

Your last post is a clear demonstration of your outstanding skill at bending meanings and introducing red herrings. I congratulate you as you have developed it into an art form. Well done, mate, you never fail my expectations of you.

Apparantly we have to report you to a warden, Moulesy.......sorry mate 

Tinners......the point I was making, in a way that was apparantly a little too subtle, was that if the wardens are just as guilty of speeding, how can they credibly admonish anyone else for doing the same?

I do struggle to understand speeding when on holiday with a MH, or towing a caravan. The clue is in holiday. No timetable to be met, other than those desperate to get to the site by 12 or 1 or whatever published arrival time. To then get the best pitch, whatever that is. I've not seen 'best pitch' mentioned in reviews, guides, on site maps or from other holiday makers.

 

On site when we had the MH it was a case of let it go at tickover in drive, which was 4-5mph. With the caravan the car in drive on tickover is 5 mph. With both of them no need to put foot on throttle, but cover the brake pedal should the need to stop arise as I understand there may well be people walking out into the road, kids playing, dogs bounding or any other likely obstacles.

If there are speeders, the quick kick of a footbal, throw of a frisby into the road should soon put a stop to their idiocy. Moreso when you ask them if they have children, and what if it was a child not footbal / frisby entering the road unexpectedly. Focusses the mind. 

I agree it wouldn't work.

The sites are quite popluar in Holland, families like them as the children are safer, some sites have areas set up like this for families, while the rest of the site park there cars next to the vans as normal.

Thinking about it isn't Bathchew set up like this no cars at the vans, its been a few years since we went and looked so I may be wrong or they may have changed it

Agree with the second part of your post
