I have just read a review on a cc site in the West Midlands where the wardens have put up a" name& shame"board,as they are having trouble with speeding .I know this as I have recently returned from said site.The poster of the review has put that they think it's,and I quote "a bit pathetic" .That to me is an insult to the wardens,as they are at least attempting a positive reaction to an ongoing problem .Any views on this? .Rant over .

Depends if the warden is in the right place at the right time

The warden at York Rowntree told a driver to slow down while we were there this weekend......seemed to do the trick better than writing his reg number on a blackboard.

...So one was seen by the warden what about the others that slipped through which could have been deterred by the "blackboard"

Doubt they'd see the blackboard going at that speed.....

surely, the warden needs to see folk 'speeding' before he can write their details on a blackboard anywhere?Undecided

so, if a warden does see someone, why not just flag down the car, have a quiet word and 'manage the issue' that way, rather than some obtuse attempt at non-management...

Just because a warden can see that he believes a car to be going too fast that does not mean that he is positioned such as to attract the drivers attention. Putting the reg number on the board should do that Winking

The usual arguments against any attempts to tackle a problem that is mentioned on so many threads and revues ,does make it look like those  trying  to say it is not a good idea are the very onesa who would see their reg numbers on the boardUndecidedWink

Seeing a board at reception with 'speeding' vehicle registration numbers on is a good deterent to others but to be effective it doesn't have to be any specific vehicles on site. The wardens could just make up registration numbers. Others members on site would never know if they were genuine or not but might not speed just in case they are real and they wouldn't want their number adding to the list.

I have no problem keeping the speed down and do so where signed, but even I had a job to keep up with the 'pitch guide' on his bicycle in Italy. It was signed and had speed bumps but boy did he fly, I had him waiting for me at every corner Laughing

It's not rocket science keeping to a limit, probably easier with an auto in 1st than a manual but I certainly wouldn't berate someone over a couple of mph.

Tickover does it for me with a manual with or without caravan.
