I had never heard of the site until I pulled up behind a car in Swindon today, Fri 16th Dec, and saw the sign in the back of a black VW polo diesel.
It made me smile.
The sign itself wasn't funny, nor the car. What was funny was the irony of the protest of the individual driving the car.
You see the car passed me on an urban duel carraige way that has an annoying amount of signs, stating the speed limit as 40mph, every couple of hundred yards, as if we'd forget! No camaras though.
As for the funny bit....she was doing at least 60mph whilst putting her hair back with a scrunchy, as I believe they are called. Perhaps she was steering with her knees?


Not possible. She was pershap tying hair back when you pulled up behind.

Und I say this as

1. Have long glossy auburn locks und you cannot do this without a mirror or one hand :yikes:

2. If she drive past at that speed - you would not be able to discern this unless :yikes: you are not looking ahead. You would be hard pushed a :bib: have pointed out to decide if Handy was used at 60 mph overtake.
I thus do not think I believe you! :roll:

Beside those scrunch thing are nuisance - only way of ensuring they stay in place ist to pin 'em. :wink: But I tent to use a nice hair slide to keep my hair firmly in its French busineslike pleat und ist very satisfying to toss my locks to get Mad Doc in the mood for an interlude :wink: :wink: before our evening meal :wink:

Trolling? Whats that?
The sticker said M4protest.org and had a picture of a speed camara.

Ist a different organisation as other point out. Lot of people had the sticky as supported in spirit :wink: In any case a van over bridge on motorway does not make things safer - we know this from Shap.l ist more accident prone since submarinated activity :roll: We always read in local papers...und get held up... :roll:

As for 'annoying', how much do you think they cost?, is it really nesessary to put them up so much.


I think each lolly run up £1K in lolly und labour :roll: Und of course there ist all that cash spent of nonsense cycle lanes .... :roll: which make villages far too dangerous for all concerned .. :roll:

Ever been to Swindon ( slag it off, I'm only here for the work ) Roundabouts everywhere, even in residential estates! Traffic lights up, down ,up then back down again. Old town.
Come here and have a look if you want to see an 'annoying' amount of unnesessary signs.
As bonus, if you come of the M4 at junction 16 you can follow the signs to the town centre. I know this to be a fact because there is a 20 foot high sign saying FOR TOWN CENTRE FOLLOW 'TOWN CENTRE'.


Have no intention of visiting Swindon. We have enough silliness in Cumbr£££££££££££a und LanCASH££££££££££££££££££££££re

But if you stereotype und make silly comment without reading through - you just find the claws draw blood :twisted:

Scamper - that could hame been anywhere along the Great Western Way too - IMO imapropriate 40mph limits but only 1 mobile camera site at the exit of Hawksworth Industrial Estate. There are very few drivers who actually stick to the 40mph limit along there - there are no footpaths or pedestrian access along the entire stretch and visibility is very good.

I have to admit though, I live in Swindon and I don't recall ever seeing an M4protest sticker OR a SS sticker since the M4 protest itself....
