Or am I pushing it a bit? That’s my default speed on motorways/dual carriageways, traffic and weather permitting, but I wouldn’t do that where’s there average speed cameras. In that respect I suppose they work on me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The recipe for the blue Naked smoothies has changed, taking out the banana and replacing it with more apple. The result is something which is runnier and much more sickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed straight away from the photo that it was Lowther Street in Carlisle, as you could clearly see the entrance to The Lanes shopping centre. Your point still stands though. It has also been done in Royston Vassey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 They aren't active on the dualled sections of the A9, apparently, so you can gun it up them to get past a load of folk sticking to 70.That is correct. You’d have to be averaging 70mph on the single carriageway to get done which, considering how busy the road is, is nigh on impossibleDoes that include the Stirling to Perth dual bit? Not active you say?Is this fake news to get me three points? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Does that include the Stirling to Perth dual bit? Not active you say?Is this fake news to get me three points?I would only take it as being the bits further north where it goes from single to dual/overtaking lane, maybe as its too complicated to calibrate the time when the section involves 2 different speeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I pushing it a bit? Standard guidelines are 10% +2mph, but they're within their rights to go for speed limit on the button should they choose to do so. Calibration/accuracy of reading/legal challenge etc are the factors which probably make them go for the 10% limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps me out of trouble and away from the arseholes that complain when they get a ticket because they were breaking the law. My advice is: leave a wee bit earlier, you won’t have to drive like a dick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even 75 mph? P.S. Not including the 60 max sections. Yes, but I think they'd only attempt that if it was 'in the public interest' i.e. stop maniacs going massively over the speed limit all the way down say at 90-100mph+. Saying that, I don't know the technicalities of the cameras e.g. bikes etc re having no front plate and how they could possibly read them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Got asked to accompany the girlfriend to the X Factor auditions at Wembley tonight which is fine because you know there's gonna be some entertaining gash singers on. What is not fine though is ending up in the second row sitting directly next to the families of every act (The front row was empty and they rotated them before each act) with a camera pointed in your direction for five hours. No idea when it broadcasts but I'm just going to have to go into hibernation for the Autumn/Winter. Edit because apparently I'm incapable of typing correctly. I probably belong in an X Factor crowd... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are ok. It's the ones that can't slow down, stop or steer properly that cause the problems.
