I have to agree about the reduced rear vision in a larger car, my terrano is terrible compared to every other car that I have had. I don’t think that any one particular type of car or age group is responsible and from experience folk with children are just as likely to speed. I will however make an observation, I think that you are more likely to see cars driving too fast on large, pitch-anywhere sites such as some in the New Forest where, especially around bank holidays where groups of friends turn up in inexpensive tents from Argos (sorry if that sounds snobby), drink late into the night and generally have a jolly old wheeze together. I love these pitch anywhere sites if the truth be known and I have been guilty of drinking into the night it must be said (and yes in years gone by the warden has told us to keep the noise down) but I think that you are less likely to see the speed restrictions flouted when the majority of the patrons have invested in more expensive equipment; better quality tents, trailer tents, folding campers, caravans, motorhomes, etcetera. Perhaps the investment in equipment is buying into the lifestyle rather than using camping as an alternative place to have a party? Sorry if I have offended anyone, especially regarding inexpensive tents, I have owned a couple of them in the past myself so no offence is meant. I think that perhaps once folk have subscribed to the lifestyle by investing in more expensive equipment, they become more aware of those around them and less focused on establishing their own territory (queue links to the windbreak thread) and locking out the rest of the site. In our brief caravanning careers it is certainly noticeable how much more friendly and considerate the community seems to be…. Or maybe I am in for a big shock over the coming year. :dry:
