Safe Speed Forums

I am in their normally once a fortnight, i cannot keep up with the constant limit changes, add that with the shear number of speed cameras, they must do very well out of the revenue.

Coming out of London last week, had 60 marker on the left, and 50 marker approx 10ft further on the right, followed by a speed camera on the left.

Do not have a clue what the camera could of been set on

I'm taking the camera next time, if they have not changed it i will get a pic.

A postscript: yesterday I went out on an assessment run with the IAM. The verdict was a "very good safe run" with only minor improvements needed to pass their test which I am applying to take. According to the IAM sticking to speed limits is very important as well as observation and all-round awareness, all of which skills I display.
I needed this vote of confidence. Oh and I was told to ignore drivers "fizzing" because I was observing the speed limit except where it was compromising my own safety. Defensive, cautious driving has its merits after all.

Well done, it sounded like you were a good driver to me, and shouldn't be put off because a few others are aggressive.

There will always be a few occasions when a driver gets impeded on a roundabout, but this is normally because the driver being impeded is either going faster than expected (and wasn't in view when the second driver made the GO decision), or because the first driver didn't give clear signals and fooled everybody else as to what they were doing.

There is no justification for continuously being too close, but it will happen even if you drive 10 mph over the limit, and letting them past at the first opportunity is the thing to do. The really stupids ones will not recognise that opportunity when you give it and are probably not paying attention to driving at all - these need a little education.
