Morality? Conscience? Opinion? Just refused to quote for work as follows:

There's didn't used to be so many accidents on the autobahn but when there was they were devastating.

 

Speed does kill and it is because of a lax attitude with which people drive, far too close and far too fast.

 

My mate owns Highway recovery on the A1, I've sat and looked through his portfolio of accident recoverys and I recommend that anyone who drives on the road should be subjected to what I saw in that photo album.

 

Before I saw it I was a prolific speeder, afterwards I very rarely speed.

 

One I remember vividly was a picture of a car with the roof cut off, and what I thought were burnt seats, it turned out they were burnt corpses, the Husband and wife occupants were sat at the back of queueing traffic, a wagon slammed into them crushing the car between it and the wagon infront, the occupant didn't die in the impact, they died through burning to death trapped in the vehicle.

 

Most of the pictures I was being shown were non fault accidents, cause by careless or speeding drivers.

 

Next time you think about how YOU should be allowed to do whatever speed you like, think of others not yourself. If you want to get somewhere before a certain time set off earlier.

 

Also many accident are caused in the early hours on unlit motorways because drivers are driving into darkness, you can't always have full beam on and your headlights on dip will only give you a lit up braking distance equal to 40mph.

 

There was a cops program on the other night in which a car over turned on an unlit motorway in the early hours. The lad managed to get out of the car just before the next THREE cars ploughed into it, enough said :sneaky2:

I have to go on a speed course in July, I was caught doing 40 in a 30 limit by a camera that I was perfectly aware of, I was just tired after a long family day at the coast.

 

The course costs sixty quid but will save me 3 points.

 

Funny though, the camera is near a number of quarries, a few years ago someone borrowed some blasting materials and blew the camera into orbit.

I got asked to tender for some tree maintenance work for the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary. Interested, I requested a meeting to discuss the requirements. Job was removal and trimming of veg obscuring Gatso Speed Cameras! Thanks but no thanks I said, end of story. What d'ya reckon eh?!

 

:thumbdown: ?

 

At first I thought you must be mad for turning it down. But on second thoughts I decided that I admire you're principles, because when I think about it there are certain groups that I would'nt work for either.

I will work for any one, but my rates do vary:sneaky2:
