Petition against speed humps - Roger Jones
I'm surprised that no-one has picked up on this, from HJ's column on Saturday:

petitions.pm.gov.uk/Nohumps

The whole list of transport petitions is here:

petitions.pm.gov.uk/list/open?cat=521

Every time I find these things I e-mail them to a list of "motoring friends" and encourage them to get involved.

I think the governments utter disregard of the road pricing petition sums up why its not worth doing! (And I did sign that!)

Sometimes I think we live in a democracy, then I wake up!

i refuse to use the ink on my keyboard on such worthless projects,
think of the global warming that it will cause if we all petition on this.
Best to keep quiet and hope they go away

So, with no participation the govt can say "We opened up this channel to give people a chance to express their views. Unlike the road-pricing issue, people obviously don't care about speed humps. We shall do nothing."

Are speed humps a problem? You bet: increased pollution; increased noise; inexorable increase in wear & tear -- i.e. damage -- on tyres, suspension systems, steering geometry.
