I also successfully negotiated several city-centre 20mph roads without breaking its gearbox. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16633#post-225309 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 14:28:45 +0000 dougal 225309@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They've even got a "sovereign citizen" in the comments. That is a veritable feast of absurdity right there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16633#post-225308 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 14:17:55 +0000 cc 225308@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>The cameras, known as “yellow vultures”, </em></p> <p>By whom?</p> <p>There's no byline on the story - perhaps it's a press release or news agency piece?

I'm sure they'd have to make it into a great big display that you could look at whenever you wanted. Some sort of 'speed meter', but I'm sure they'll come up with a snappier name for it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16633#post-225303 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 12:27:36 +0000 Morningsider 225303@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh, those poor drivers - a 50mph speed limit! Just to protect workers undertaking "roadworks" - an odd way to describe a £500,000,000 motorway construction project. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16633#post-225300 Mon, 18 Jul 2016 10:54:14 +0000 chdot 225300@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I wonder what the ENews thinks...</p> <p>"</p> <p>Drivers travelling between the Capital and Glasgow have been slapped with fines worth thousands of pounds after average speed cameras were installed at Scotland’s busiest motorways.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh-drivers-punished-by-average-speed-cameras-1-4179880" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh-drivers-punished-by-average-speed-cameras-1-4179880</a> </p>
