At least they are trying

I do thnk that all this silly talk about legalities, the need to prove speeding, defamation etc is slightly ridiculous.
I also think that writing registrations on a blackboard is a somewhat pathetic approach.
The wardens are supposed to be managing the site. Flag down the culprits, tell them what they are doing wrong and ask them not to do it again.
If they are blatently breaking the rules and endangering people (this must apply to a tiny few) then report them to HO for rule breaking.......and tell them you are doing so......don't just write their registration on a board.

Is there any truth in the rumour that it is happening again this year?
Unfortunately there is DD, but the good thing is that it's not compusory watching!!

Quick Poll, is it the motorhome driver or the caravaners who are more likely to speed in your opinion?

What is?
It's divisive asking if cvans or MHs are the worst offenders. You know the way things go on here

As I have imtimated before I have just not seen the problem, it is usually people holding me up
.>>> It seems to be a very small problem
being made out to be a major one. <<<Have to agree with you DD, think you have it right....

Right, I think the posts got out of order and my quote of Mark's got lost in cyberspace.
Of course it's true as there are idiots in all walks of life. I've even heard there might be some on CT.

Glad you can see the light TW....
Pity some others don't or can't....

As I have said before I drive on site at 4mph when anywhere near caravans as the car ticks over in 1st gear at that speed. I don't necessarily believe that in most instances driving at 10mph is genreally unsafe. I do think that driving slowly is far more
sociable.0 -
The biggest risk on site is people verses traffic and as wardens we try to get speed limits reduced for obvious reasons. However, the onus is on the members to help us maintain the speed limits by driving carefully. We do have a quiet word with excessive
speeders when spotted but like I quoted in a previous post they slow down once the see us. Also, upon arrival at this site, members are asked to stay in 1st gear if a manual or select low gear if an auto while on site. However, after a few days on site the
speed creeps up again..0 -
The problem seems to be that modern "high speed" life spills over ,with some ,into their leisure time,as our local police safety officer says "i very rarely get caught up in traffic as nobody will pass me when in my duty car arround town"

I have to say, I've seen a few dashing round, but I don't see it as the major problem that some do.
All the more reason why the warden staff just need to have a word with the few idiots.

In my experience its mainly solo cars comeing and going on site.

Anything that publicises this issue is a good thing, including the said "name and shame board", so well done to the Wardens concered. One thing that always strikes me about this issue is that people always expect the Wardens to do something about it. Should
we all not be doing something about it as we are all members of the same club rather than just expecting the Wardens to deal with it? If you see someone blatantly breaking this rule on site, mention it to the offender. If everyone did this, surely the perpetrators
would soon get the message that it is unacceptable? It would be good to hear a Warden's opinion on this though, as I can appreciate that they may not like this approach as it could lead to confrontations all over the site...!!0 -

Unacceptable! More likely the complainant would be told he's a *************. ************ing ******** and to ***************, if such a contortion is actually possible. Does anyone here seriously think that "advising" someone who is driving at 10mph would result in anything other than abuse? "Interfering busybody" would be a mild admonition. BTW our diesel ticks over in 1st at 8mph. We could try reverse I suppose. While the sentiment of a 5mph rule is good, it's a bit too slow to enforce as rigorously as some here would encourage.

Our diesel according to Sat nav in first on tickover is doing 4.8mph and most people acknowledge that a" slow down"said when others are in the versinity is normally enough or to persistent abusers "what part of 5mph do you not understand"

Min ticks over just about 4mph on satnav so that is the speed I do. Speedo will give a higher reading i many cases. If it ticked over at say 7mph then that would be the speed that I would do also. I wouldn't want to slip the clutch all the way round.
