Caught Speeding

[RedJ]

And almost always driving a f**king BMW.

Well RJ, I drive one but I don't drive like a maniac.

I usually find it is the people in small cars who do that.

[RedJ]

Aye, there'll always be one cock who's driving a f**king Punto like a Formula One car.

Much like white van men obviously not everyone such as yourself falls into the same category - but the stereotype exists for a reason...

Surprised you’ve seen a BMW in Moorends 😜

Oi, we'll have less of that. I live in Wheatley nowadays.

But that's my point Wolfy. We all know the requirements around average speed cameras on other roads and the speed required is displayed. However the new cameras on the motorway network are operational 100% of the time (I'm led to believe) and yet no speed limit is displayed, nor is there any signs which indicate they are operational 100% of the time. I'm just looking for clarification that's all.

As I said before SM, the national speed limit on a motorway is 70mph, unless signs, lit up or on circular signs, tell you differently.
Usually, when you enter a motorway the national speed limit sign (a black diagonal line through a white circle)is clearly shown, telling you that the NSL is in use.

Why should there be signs to say that the cameras are in use 100% of the time.
The cameras are there to deter drivers from speeding.
They are in use all the time by the way.

I have noticed that in heavily congested areas of the motorways, peak time traffic I suppose, that when the variable limit is dropped to say 60mph for a while, the traffic flows much better.
Perhaps this is because people don't all queue down the outside lane, 25 yards from the car in front and constantly touching their brakes.

The drivers who belt along at considerably over 70mph are a menace and are one of the biggest reasons for fatal accidents.

Hound, give it a rest. I was looking for information not a lecture.

I saw a Cat with a tail once in Moorends but quickly realised it was only passing through

It wasn’t a lecture SM, it was information.
You said that no speed limits are displayed.

I was going back after the game on Saturday and went through the lights at Amber on Balby Rd.
I started tohit the brakes to stop but carried on as it was wet and lights changed to red as I got to the far side. Hopefully made it in time as never had any points since 1971.
I'm just annoyed as I usually go back on the M18, A1 but as it was 8:30 at night I'd go through Balby and reminisce. At least we won if the worst comes to the worst but it makes it an expensive day out.

I've been caught on balby road where the shops are, I thought I'd gone through on amber too.

I was at the one on the top of Sandford Rd. Jenny.
