Default A3 speed limit in tunnel on way to Portsmouth

i wasn't sure what it is, i know its a national but is it 60 or 70 mph for bike. i assumed it was 70 mph but everyone was going at 60 mph. being the clever guy i am i followed them at 60 mph like a lost sheep.

shed some light for me in my tunnel.


PS. how you stop your nose dribbling when its cold?

It's 70 mate, unless the electric signs indicate otherwise.

Can't help you with the nose bit though. I just sniff it up.

you're on a bike and there are only forward facing speed cameras, it's how ever much noise you want to make in the tunnel. Thats what i do anyway
It is 70 as Idle Biker said unless otherwise stated

unless there's a highways sitting there Yes.
The Police don't have resources to track down a bike, but if you pass one everyday don't!!!

A guy got done for 100 offenses inc. speeding the day they caught him

I think there was also the one of the guy who used to swear at them, and they caught him the same way. He used the same route every day and wore the same clothing too.

Agreed, on not if you pass the same one daily. Or at least don't speed every time you go past it
