well also fast food delivery m/clists on their Honda 50's?

Also in general any delivery courier who has to deliver parcels in a certain time frame? I m sure we have all heard real bad stories. One from a business acquaintance, he found his parcel in the road. In one case I have seen one get out of his van take a look then get back in and the next I hear, that was an attempted but failed delivery. Since many have location gps that records where they have been their buttock is covered? hmm since when is Ahsss a rude word? lol

So not just the actual couriers fault I think, I m sure many would prefer a leisurely mode but competition dictates other wise? also blame the companies that employ them

In the case of law breaking whilst using the roads it's upto the police and justice system to stop it,they simply aren't doing their job,it is that simple.
If couriers and or delivery people knew that if they broke the law there were a good chance they'd be caught,and if caught knew the penalty was heavy then they wouldn't break the law.
As it is there's little chance of being caught,and even if they are the penalty is paltry not to mention that if there job is at stake because of their behaviour they're likely not to get a driving ban if if it's on the cards.

There is no law enforcement to speak of or deterrent should they be caught!
That sadly is the case,the lunatics are running the asylum!

I expect fast food delivery drivers to especially obey the law in ALL instances.

It helps me getting free food after the 1 hour delivery limit is up... :mrgreen:
