      Other, if it's 30, put the car in 3rd before the camera, if it's 60 or 70 put it in 4th. I never bang the brakes on for speed cameras
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          There are a couple of roads where I do that becuse the council changed the speed limit four times in one year! Even the SAT Nav download can't keep up.

            Doesn't work too well if your car pull's a ton in third and hits the limit in fourth.... (As found out at Silverstone which was quite gutting as I had two more gears left ).

            Damn Japanese and their 120MPH limits

              I can't watch this here, but I think it's the one.

                I reckon you can de-restrict it for a few pennies. I had a Honda that was restricted, it cost me £120 IIRC..

                  You are assuming it is deliberate. Never attribute to ........... no you wouldn't get the ref anyway.

                  Even if the other driver is behaving like a complete nob it still does not give you the right to drive in a dangerous manner. As someone else said the highway code requires other things of you and selective reading is not a good idea.

                  Remove your ego from the driving seat and learn about patience and good manners.
