Sounds good to me Pitternator. I am really annoyed at myself for this one because I always prattle on to everyone "30 in a 30, 40 in a 40". I know that those two speed limits are enforced more than any other on normal roads. I pay particular attention in 30 zones. In all other speed zones, I get a lick on and invariably end up going as fast as I (sensibly) can, bearing in mind risks to myself and others.
If I get caught speeding, I fully appreciate that it's my fault alone. Having said that, it does wind me up when Police claim that speeding KILLS, and then they hide in bushes and horseboxes, etc, covertly gathering evidence of speeders but allowing them to continue to drive at a speed that they reckon could kill someone!!
Police speed checks should be visible. They should deter, remind and educate. I know everyone claims it, but it's true (for me at least) that those flashing warning signs which indicate your speed (especially in a built up area) definately work for me. Now that's something that I don't think is wasted tax payers money!
