| Sorry, I think you posted just as I edited to add that I checked with my sister and she was driving. No doubt about it now. I will put her as the driver but curious as to what will happen next. |

| I just got a NIP for doing 38 in a 30MPH area (was until recently 50MPH) but I'm sure it was my sister who was driving at the time while on a short holiday here last week. She lives in Finland, has an EU driving licence, but is listed as a named driver on the insurance policy. If I say it was my sis... |

| I thought this was interesting, nice to see the police actually admitting that sometimes speed isn't a factor in accidents... POLICE have slammed a decision to cut the 50mph limit on the A40 at Holtspur – and said speed is not always to blame for smashes. Thames Valley Police said it “objects strong... |

| I thought someone might be interested to the know what's happened so far... My mum got a fine in the post today as expect. I was doing 98km/h in an 80 km/h area. They had a leeway of 5km/h. The fine is 160CHF. They stated that they have a photo of the driver and if the wrong driver is named (which i... |

| Thanks for the replies everyone. So not much to look forward to then, however I am self employed and made a loss last year and my mum doesn't work so hopefully the fine won't be too high. You know, I wouldn't be so upset if I'd been caught speeding past a school or something, but I'd driven through ... |

| One night last week I was driving down a country road and got flashed (in the face!) by a mobile camera carefully mounted behind a grass verge. I was doing about 100km/h, maybe a bit below, in an 80 area. The thing is I was driving my mum's Swiss car which is registered in her name. A couple of ques... |

| I'm sure many years ago I found a map of the UK that listed European E-route numbers next to all the usual British motorways. Was I dreaming it or do our roads have European routes even if we never use them? If they do exist, is there a map of them on the net somewhere? |

| I learnt to drive in Finland and we were told never to use the pull-push method since it's useless if you get into a skid (something reasonably common in the snowy winter months). We were taught to use hand over hand most of the time. I have mates here that have commented on my steering as "rally st... |

| I have a mate who lives next to a new double mini roundabout in a small village in Essex. The two blobs have caused so much confusion that my mate has observed (and heard) several crashes since they have been installed. |

| Things are looking up all round. It's clear as crystal that they are worried - it's also clear that this sort of strategy won't save a failing policy. Confidence in the cameras has gone, and now the cameras must go too. The sooner the better. Couldn't agree more. It is a step in the right direction... |

| Yeah I would do it after a while but cautiously if I thought it was safe enough, positioning myself away from the cars if the lane is wide enough in case they try and pull in without looking. Sometimes you'll get a stupid situation on a 3 lane motorway where cars will be bunched up travelling in lan... |

| Find that concentration levels tend to be sharper when we are on unlimited stretches of German A-bahn - perhaps because you know margins are sharper at speed. If find exactly the same thing. I think I'm most alert when driving on German motorways. I've also learnt a lot from them too and apply my e... |
