Police now targeting vans!

[sc_BK]

Also it's 40mph for over 7.5T on single carriageways. Not that anyone bothers to stick to that though!

Near enough every lorry on the A9 goes 56mph from the top to the bottom

Most coppers don't know or don't enforce the rule, just carry on doing the speed you have been doing. Like I say it's nothing new, if you get stopped just say I didn't know officer.

Sorry but that is silly advice,the answer you would get,is ignorance is no defence! Now you see why unrest is growing.how many of you didnt know?And thats the point,they purposly dont tell you so your easier game.
How many are smoking in your vans?how many know if its legal or not?

Are we all looking forward to 56mph?

[fedup2]

Criky, you're right. Page 26 of the Highway code. 2004 edition, 50mph on single carriage ways and 60mph on dual ones. Sod that. I'll stick to the usual 60-70 and go on the matter that I would otherwise be holding up the progress of traffic.

Youve hit the nail on the head there swampy,holding traffic up is the motive.how else are they going to get us to accept pay per mile? why do you think they are hell bent on slowing traffic to a standstill.
heres whats going to happen,the roads will slowly be brought to a standstill,then we will have the payper mile,and all the thousands of speedlimits that have been reduced over the last 2 years will be retreated on,and hay presto problems cured.why do you think that middle lane hoggers are NEVER prosicuted? cos they snag the roads.theres alot more if you think about it.how many lanes are now unusable cos they have painted them out,how many traffic lights change to red when the road is empty,or just let a couple of cars through before going to red.get ready to dig deep,cos on some roads its going to be £1.30 per mile and thats for starters,prices always go up.

Try explaining it to a ticket on your doorstep,as most speeding offences are not stopped by the police.but issued by scammera vans.

YOU ARE Flavour of the month guys ,so watch out! as you can see from the above posts people are not aware of the reduced limits and they know it.
Take care...

If you stick to the car speed limits you will not get a ticket from a camera!

[sc_BK]

A fixed camera like a gatso won't, but a mobile one could as they're manned

Cameras can't tell the difference between cars and vans, so do tell me why am I in cuckoo land?
