Today going down the local Dual carriageway A419 nice clear weather, road clear at 10am no traffic. guess who's sitting on the overpass in a volvo.
I'm safely doing a shade over the ton. I brake a bit but they have seen & probably radar gunned my speed. As I pass under the underpass I'm back to 70, I notice them starting to take off, but a passing car stops them pulling right off. They then are out of visual, so I speed up to get to the next turn off, then go V. slow up the turn off and I go over the flyover heading over the A419 as they pass under me and the next turn off isnt for 4-5 miles :rofl:
Shaved it this time, but what really pi55es me off is how all the 'road safety' comes out as soon as it's safer to drive at higher speeds. For the last six months thru rain, sleet & snow I have never seen a police car on that road never mind sitting on an overpass, but as soon as it's a nice day they are always floating about on a very safe road (they couldn't put a camera on it because there have not been enough major accidents, not for the want of trying though)
Italian police comissioner when asked by british reporters why they let people away with speeding in Italy when almost everyone does it, even though they DO have speed limits - 'because we have real crimes to solve' - :bow:
Grrrr.. really ticks me off
