    Anna, an answer for your question about why do vehicles that can go past the speed limit are being sold in the UK; Well, first of all many vehicles are designed for the international market which means that they should be suitable for many different countries which have various speed limits, for example for roads in Germany that have no speed limit whatsoever. Plus there are some emergency situations where you would like your car to go waaay past the speed limit for example if there is a wild fire or terrorist attack and so in those cases you would like to speed away as fast as your car would allow you to go.

    You’re right Anna i mean it’s really contradictory and crazy why sell cars that are capable of speeds in excess of a hundred miles an hour when our upper limit is 70 mph!
    Very interesting topic indeed ❤

    Hi Anna, how about you dedicate one video to when you use the word "sir' in English. Many non-native speakers are often confused about when it's appriopriate to use this word when referring to a stranger

    Hi my lovely! 😊
    I can't watch it right now and I will later but seeing the theme a joke comes to mind (which is also a good example of reasoning bias)
    ' 30 percent of the lethal road accidents are caused by alcohol; therefore 70 percent are caused by people who don't drink!' 😊
    See ya later for a comment!
    Bisous 😘🌹❤
    P.S.: Of course after that joke, I must remind everyone of this very important thing: 'Do Not drink-and-drive!'
    By the way, Anna, I recommend you Katharine's last lesson, a marvel! 👍

    Hi Anna 😊 🤗 hope you don't cave in later , usually all parents do 😅
    Parents usually put their foot down, they are so strict in making rules , no TV after 8 pm maybe 🤔, no sweets after 4 pm , no staying late after bed time, but sometimes they just cave in and allow all those things to happen 😅😅

    Anna? ... Je t'aime. What a wonderful episode again. You are just magnificent my lovely!
    For your question at 4:14, I was about to answer you but you gave the answer yourself. Apart from the need for a small acceleration reserve, which is useful in certain situations, it is difficult to see the coherence of all this indeed. The State could be coherent with themselves, but can you then imagine the loss of revenue? ... As you rightly said.
    Besides, the same thing applies here to certain aberrant limits in certain sectors which, on the face of it, don't justify them but are real traps for drivers, and where speed cameras are intentionally set up... to make them a lot of money!
    Merci infiniment for the lesson, vocabulary and expressions around this theme, I learned a lot again!
    By the way I think the million subscribers is a little too long to arrive, you deserve it so much!!
    Are people blind? Deaf? Are they unable to assess real quality? Are they phlegmatic enough to share? ... 😊
    You're boss and the very best.
    Bisous bisous Anna, Love Merci ! 🙏👏😘🌹❤❤❤

    Your thoughts about buying a car based on the car's speed make sense. This question hasn't been asked before. Truly why do people choose expensive cars and the speed limit isn't allowed it is a waste of time.

    breaking the rules is easier than keep the rules. In fact I don't know anyone who has not got a fine for breakig the speed limit. ( and so did I). You say..when I can see a big motorway and the lines are free, scarcely cars that could avoid you step the accelerator on, I did it. 110 kilometres per hour in a huge motorway could be dangerous for people that don't break the rules because their are driving absolutely slowly. that's life.

    ~~~~~~ Little robot to come ~~~~~~
    They say a child's about to be
    - A being they say to be new -
    You have succeeded, good for you
    I have a great need to know him
    It's the second discovery
    A happy man among his kind
    I want to give him these small rhymes
    Like a present, like a warning
    Little robot about to come
    Little robot about to come
    They are lovely your tomorrows
    They'll put two wires in your head
    To bring inside all the knowledge
    The one that you will have to get
    To be, as they would say, honest
    The wires will burn themselves out
    For fear that anything might pass
    What could possibly make you think
    Give you troubles or states of mind
    They say with fumes of gasoline
    They'll accustom your throat and lungs
    The perfume of seas and mountains
    You won't even know about them
    For your ears, they'll be accustomed
    To what animals used to flee
    Within you, sounds will be sorted;
    All your ideas will be the same
    Little robot about to come
    Little robot about to come
    They are lovely your tomorrows
    You'll be told from your first moments
    "Little one, beware of strangers
    But don't fear, you're in no danger
    If you keep being obedient."
    You will have no choice of weapons
    In your battle with life and fate
    But when your comrades they'll fall
    You'll have neither tears nor sadness
    Yes,
    You'll have a perfect existence
    Always happy, always content
    But if one day you have the chance
    To hear my song of disturbance
    Those two wires inside your head
    Maybe you'll bring them together
    Or you will blow everything up
    Or you will become a Poet...
    Little robot about to come
    Little robot about to come
    Ain't so lovely our tomorose ...
    F. 08/21/23.
    Hope you like it
    😘🌹❤

    If you bring your car to a racing track, you can utilise all the horsepower your car has to offer while not breaking the law. Moreover, you can always go to Germany to drive on their autobahn where there is no speed limit. I doubt that things you used as an analogy to this subject are considered legal in any country. 😊

    As for the 'whopping' 78.3 million pounds, for your average household sure it's a 'whopping' sum, but for a city like London, let alone a country like the UK it is nothing more than peanuts.

    I believe those smiley/sad faces that appear on flashing speed limit signs could work best on women, as they tend to be more emotional than men, therefore more susceptible to such cheap manipulation. Well, 50% success, not half bad.

    Speed bumps should be abolished altogether because they slow down emergency vehicles like ambulances and police cars.
    By the way, 'bollards is pronounced "ˈbɒl.ɑːd". And it's now accepted in British English to use "learned" in the context that you've used it in your video but I prefer to stick to the usual British English use of the word. The American past participle of the verb 'to learn' is 'learned'. The British past participle is usually 'learnt'.
