Horrid speed cameras :(
« on: August 10, 2006, 10:10:07 pm »

Ok - so today of all days you would think the police had more important things to do but obviously not. Ok, so what actually is the speed limit on a dual carriageway? Does anyone know the Warwick bypass (A46)?


And...do you get caught if you're heading towards the van and camera or does it get the car from behind.


Yet another thing i'm going to fret about...

Speed kills. It's the job of the police to catch all law breakers.

It's the slow dodery old drivers that cause more accidents i'm sure. Motorways should definitely be 80mph.

Yes, but a dual carriage way is not a motorway. We have a dula carriage way that runs through the middle of our town and it is definitely not safe to drive at 80MPH.

Not wishing to be picky, but surely the traffic police don't pop and help out the anti-terrorism squad when things get busy?

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

That chart makes no sense what-so-ever to me. Anyway, I don't care what other countries do. I live in this one. I would actually REDUCE the speed limit to 20 MPH in residential areas and enforce a 30MPH limit through all towns, villages and city centres.
