These mopeds you buy these days that have a fixed speed of 30mph are a danger to the users and the other road users too.
Now dont get me wrong we live in a free country where we can do most things but driving down a middle of a road doing 28mph is just not right.
This rather large person whos butt was over hanging the seat was just doing that this morning, and yes there was a queue behind him.
May be he travels this way everyday with out a care for other road users and maybe i am the only one who he has cheesed of too.

I saw a western guy last night, tiny Thai wife, small child maybe 3 years old and a baby looked about 9 months old strapped on the wife back all on a tiny moped, my kid said the 9 month old would be the shock absorber :cwm25:

Im unaware that theres a minimum speed limit on roads, except on Motorways where certain vehicles are prohibited, Horses, and Horse and Cart are still modes of Transport perhaps we should limit more roads to 20 MPH to fit in with these slower vehicles :biggrin:

I remember when HGV's were limited to 20mph at that time BRS (British Road Services) had a big fleet of Bristols some of them were red and others were green, also not to long after that time a firm in Diss named Wyatt Transport were the first company in England to run a fleet of draw bar fridge boxes under the name of 'Fridged Freight' at the time they were competing with 'Claben Aberdeen' for the movement of fish throughout the UK, alas they never did get any of the Scottish fish market, good days and nice memories:xxgrinning--00xx3:
