why? it's a dual carrageway in the middle of the countryside

the problem isnt the 70mph limit its the people doing 170mph

maybe they can only put specs on <50mph roads?

Just take your front plate off & put it on the dash - no more tickets.

It was right down to a 40mph limit due to roadworks about 6 years ago when my car got snapped doing 110mph along there, glad i wasnt driving it, it was some australian bound fellow who they never caught

It felt like it went on FOREVER when you stuck to the 40, so not looking forward to the new limit!

guess we will all have to meet in brighton from now on

its only for 4 miles though,,,, the rest towards the M25 is gonna be fine and aslong as they dont fit anymore cameras on the M11/M25 i aint bothered tbh as thats where i feel more comfortable having a few 74mph energy bursts
