Re: 136 miles of cash cropping
Try driving an HGV you are restricted to 56mph however powerful your engine is, this means that you sit with your foot flat on the floor whilst your brain goes walkabout. Now IMHO that is much more dangerous than people speeding, but then maybe it is just me singing away like a loon to keep myself occupied.

Not all HGVs are necessarily restricted anymore. I was trundling along at 70 and got overtaken by an artic.

Re: 136 miles of cash cropping
It is 56mph because of the EU this is 80kmh. The only ones who were not restricted are Post Office lorries, they fall through a loophole, or at least they did when they were Royal Mail and government owned, I am not sure where they stand now. The rest of Europe is exactly the same as us, if they get caught unrestricted whatever country they come from they will end up with problems.

Re: 136 miles of cash cropping
Another thing to note is that HGV's are restricted to only 40mph on single carriageway routes, very boring on A roads and yes the cameras can get you for it.

Re: 136 miles of cash cropping
It can still be done under British laws, they are the same in France, anddwe all know how a French policeman can commit perfectly legal highway robbery (including the use of a gun to help you speed up the process) if you are caught speeding in France, they very kindly escort you to the cashpoint so that you can pay the fine.

Re: 136 miles of cash cropping
Police can do the driver for speeding and the owners for not maintaining the vehicle.
