Stupid people and SPECs

business suited guy goes over to young guy and grabs the iPod and chucks it out of the window

Arrogant buffoon!!

I would have thrown his newspaper out and demanded he at least pay for the iPod. Called the guard and sued!! lol

you can go 100mph for half then stop for a bit then go again.

OK - that covers the maths bit, but what about the reality? You still average 50!! How about just doing an average of 50mph and not bother with all this stop/start???!!! Is it just a matter of principle?!

Try the M6 toll road. It's only 4 quid and there's nobody on it

£4.50!

I live near (and use) some wonderful biking roads. Local plod is intent on slowing everybody down, dangerous or not. Plod is pretty much hated here. They have shown utter contempt for bikers even when the community shopped one of its own who had deliberately run down a plod.

Seems the Scottish coppers are different! I tanked it past a couple well over the limit in Scotland. Most of them in laybys just waived

Unoffically I reckon they know how much money tourists bring into Scotland and a lot of that is from bikers esp. to the more far flung places your overseas tourists don't venture.

is there a motorail to Scotland?

I ignore the speed limits. As long as you enter and leave on different lanes the cameras do not work. Not many people appear to know that.

They do now...

I wouldn't bother, mal - Cyberman knows much more from listening to some bloke in a garden centre than we mere mortals could ever possibly grasp by knowing the facts:

At least one person doesn't appear to know that it isn't true any more

SPECs received Home Office Type Approval for cars changing lanes in 2007.

Also, as that article points out, it was never the case that the cameras "didn't work" if you changed lanes; merely that, until the relevant tests were passed, they could not be used for enforcement purposes in that case.

You obviously believe all of the propaganda.

is there a motorail to Scotland?

No. It didn't survive the privatisation. The reduced number of sleeper trains meant each was longer and could no longer take the car-carriers too.
