If it is end to end, I can see it now, drive like crazy for 13 miles stop at a pub for a nice pint and foot down for the next 13 miles to record a low average and a warm glow.
Informed speeding?
Cameras are a menace! |

| I'm sure the arrows and sign do a marvellous job at highlighting the accidents, but the way my car was bouncing about on the slabs would make my brakes less effective and increase my chances of an accident in the first place. I despair at the waste of my money on Britains roads, i'm sure if the road... |

| Another rant from me, i live in South Wales, one of those small towns where inappropiate speed cams (the ones on the wide road sections with no pedestrians) ruin every journey. I noticed today as i cut through a local housing estate to avoid seeing the mobile speed cam on the main road that i seem t... |

| I nearly crashed my car today as i travelled along the M4 into South Wales today. In living memory the M4 at junction 24 has had barrier repairs, its been at least 4 years, there has occasionally been the odd workman walking about and plently of cones, a couple of years ago some fake camera signs we... |

But when people arn't working set the limit to whats saf... |

| Fair point as long as there are plenty of signs, just that i don't understand why some are 40 and some are 50 when there doesn't appear to be any reason. I would just like to know what makes the difference when they set the limit, i'm guessing there must be some degree of qualification for the limit... |

| It drives me mad! there is no logic to any of the new limits, there must be a rule. I wonder what makes one set of roadworks on a motorway 40 and another 50, i'm sure it has more to do with density of installable cameras than safety. Drivers haven't got a hope of guessing correctly so we end up with... |

Maybe there should be a new camera that can scan for dilated pupils, they could call it a safety camera! |
