SupremeLeader Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) MPH is also used in all of Britain's ex colonies. Sorry to burst your bubble... but that is false =/ Canada and Australia both use km/h and I am pretty sure other former colonies also do not use MPH. Also, I would say man that sucks... But that shit is stupid going that much over. Good luck though. Edited November 27, 2015 by SupremeLeader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: It is still used in Canada (on the railways). Found on Wiki: These include roads in the United Kingdom, the United States, and UK and US territories; American Samoa, the Bahamas, Belize, British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Dominica, the Falkland Islands, Grenada, Guam, Burma, The N. Mariana Islands, Samoa, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & The Grenadines, St. Helena, St. Kitts & Nevis, Turks & Caicos Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Antigua & Barbuda (although km are used for distance), and Puerto Rico (same as former). Miles per hour are also used in the Canadian rail system. In some countries it may be used to express the speed of delivery of a ball in sporting events such as cricket, tennis and baseball.

Dieze Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 In England (UK) we use MPH also Also, you should not lose your full license, as long you have been driving over a year, just talk your way out of it with saying it was an emergency, if you received it through the door and not police stopped you should be able to get out of it with just points and a small fine.. Fingers crossed matey. Don't think in the UK, that would pass as a reasonable excuse, basically it's admitting you are driving and you admit to breaking the speed limit. Only way i can think of getting out of it, is having someone else claim they were driving at the time, who has held there licence for longer and won't get a ban. but yeah that's fraud still.

Lmao. We were talking about roads and that means I am still right. The switch still did happen, thus we don't use MPH anymore. So calm down kiddo. You don't need to justify why you were wrong.

So calm down kiddo. You don't need to justify why you were wrong. I thought it was interesting but if you don't want to have a conversation that's cool, no need for the kiddo or anything.

I've seen football managers get away with it as they "had the runs". Or so they claimed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
