if on the other hand its not safe to do over 70 on a clear warm quiet sunday afternoon then there is no way it can be safe to do 70 on yer foggy icey morning during rush hour.

what yer need if a set of varible speed limits such as outside schools knock it down to about 10mph. quiet streches of motorway yer could bang it up to around 100 ish

Well, as far as variable limits- If you are ever 'done' in an area of roadworks -say 50mph ins 70mph, DoT Road Traffic Management Chapter 8 regs say that when works have finished, the signage and speed ristrictions must be returned to normal- basically, if they are not at work-they cannot leave their TM in place-including speed ristrictions. I've done the course an will be using it in my defense the next time I get clocked in Roadworks ( chance be a fine thing

Maybe we can finally put all the suicide bombers to good use on the Gatsos?

Round here they have the cameras in bullet proof boxes, for a good reason.

just send it off with a change of addresss (use yer aunties, brothers etc) any expired points are removed free - then just change it back a month later. Works a treat

Well Grippa, since the release of this information I have been riding under the cameras on the M25 between the M3 and M4 every weekday morning and no-one has slowed down to the posted speed limits. We are all still doing 60 through a 50 and 70+ through a 60, so if they have replaced the old cameras with digital cameras then they should ask for their money back.

I have a great trick to beat Speed Cameras and it works very well for everyone.

Stick to the limit.

No tricks, no detectors, no GPS maps with locations marked, no heavy braking when I see one. Just pootle along at or below the limit and job done.
