i like the ones which you can position to make your wheels move
around, they're about 20mph and don't have an impact.. those are the
good ones IMO.. you get a gentle ride unless you're speeding or can't
manouver your vehicle (also good for bikers, you can ride around them)

Unless anyone else out there has a 20+ year history of motorsport
and street cars in the order of 600hp I'll demand the final say on
this one.
There was never an accident caused by a road, a minute number due to
mechanical failure(10 yr test/Mot waste of money), speed is not a
meaningful factor (they hit each other all day long in London at an
average speed of 8mph)
Accidents are the proof positive of the total morons that our society
allows behind the wheel.
Mway limits? 100 min 180 max - if you don't like it you can use the A road.
Our driving test is a joke, if I ran the system there'd be no more
traffic problems 'cos the number of drivers would be reduced by 90% !
You're not looking at "drivers" out there, but people moving cars - a
big difference.
I could rant forever on this subject
