Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
I wondered if this was a reflection of the laissez faire attitude to otherwise-law-abiding casual speeding nowadays. I've seen a surprising number of vans and small coaches this year wearing rear door stickers that say "This vehicle is limited to 70mph", with a big 70 symbol.
Did they increase the speed limit when I wasn't watching? Or is it supposed to be a subtle "don't misjudge your skill level and try to overtake" warning?
I have always thought they were one of things things which is supposed to make other drivers drive less homicidally in a sort of "please don't kill me, it is not my fault I can only go at 70mph" type way.
Speed limits for vans (Good veh under 7.5 tonnes is 60 on A roads, but 70 for Motorways.
The urban M8 gantries sometimes have a limit of 50 mph posted on them… which is of course the limit for the road anyway.
