reducing 60 limits to 50 is popular these days  ......

There does seem to be a lot of it going on now. 

St Peter's Way, used to be NSL but now 50 with a total of five cameras along less than four miles of dual carriageway.
How much of that was for safety and how much for revenue generation?

dual carriageway up the rd got reduced to 30 last year cause some lazy rsoles got killed because they couldnt be bothered to walk to the crossings. so we have to suffer and go slow. 1 death was no more than 20 ft from the lights. flowers were there for ages. mum was well chuffed when i got her some

Fortunately  rarely need to drive along St Peter's Way, but it is rediculous. Similar to to the top of your road, Crompton Way/Moss Bank Way, what was once dual carraige way by-pass has that much white & green paint on it making it a single carraige way. No amount of paint on the road slowed down the clown in the go-faster ST Mundane that hit the poor woman in the Merc Coupe a couple of years ago. (I wonder what how she is)

Speed limits are all well and good.. but I can barely remember the last time I was behind someone actually doing the limit - usually 5-15mph under, which drives me bonkers.

I heard a car tyre filled with petrols fairly effective- or a shot gun- or a farmers tractor- only useful on them old photo type ones at the back

A JCB going past on a low loader with the rear arm not tethered and swinging around did a good job. Knocked the head clean off and into the next field.

Brightened up a tedious drive no end.

Hi,CaptainZok,good question. A speed camera jammer [possible spam link deleted] may make me feel free when driving.
BTW, what's that animal in your picture?

[Banjax]

There's a very easy way to circumvent all of these difficulties and save money - from buying extra equipment to paying out unnecessary money to the government - drive within the posted limits.

Would that not work?

just what I was thinking - it's an easy collar for the police - if you speed, don't bitch about getting caught

didnt Top Gear get a car to go fast enough passed a speed camera not to trigger it?

About 8 or 9 years ago I was heading from Oxford to Worcester in an arctic and the traffic was really heavy on the A44. Some half hour later as I got near the front of the traffic I realised what the hold up was... A bloke in a JCB moving from one gatso to the next beating the crap out of it with the rear bucket of his digger They were like that for ages afterwards

Yes, but I think it was about 175mph or some such insane figure.. No run up long enough would work for me

And Welung -
