Didn't you get that eerie feeling as you whizzed past the other traffic wondering why they were going slow?

Not much solace can be offered..................just hope that your licence is clean at the mo

Im with Rukus on this. Where are there permanent 50MPH sections apart from the permanent roadworks whre they are down to 40 if you are lucky.

Bad luck and claim a total like of signs in mitigation. (I could not see them as I wa going that fast

)

Just feel safe in the knowledge that if your mowed someone down without a licence/insurance in an unroad worthy vehicle and fled the scene, your punishment wouldnt be much worse, cos speedings so dangerous. Oh, wait...

It was 9pm and the road was quiet. All the more reason for spotting a large Merc in illuminous yellow and white with massive blue lights on it's roof I suppose!

There are a number of permanent <70 stretches of motorway. Mostly through towns where there are a large number of slip roads or where the road takes a sharp bend or other similar hazards.

Yep, The A1 has numerous 50 mph sections, usually with cameras

The A1 or the A1(M)?

Ditto the M4 in South Wales around Newport (uphill/downhill/twisty with junctions) and Port Talbot (loads of junctions and concrete sound barriers to protect residents. Fixed speed camera there).

Isn't there a lower limit on the M4 close to London...........chiswick area?
