I'll stick to 20,30,40 religiously, 50 less so. 60 and 70 I'm 'flexible'
+1 quick question though, not far from me the M25 is undergoing road works and has one of those 'average speed camera' systems set up, now I know the cameras face forward, so to speak, so it's unlikely a bike would get caught but i usually slow down to the same speed as the cars just so I don't p*ss everyone off - but I'm surprised at the number of cars that speed though them - do the systems actually work? Does anyone know of anyone getting a ticket from them? S

I've never got a ticket from a specs camera installation but then I don't speed through them, bike or not. Some people will speed and then find that when they don't get a ticket they ignore them. It depends really on the threshold that they've set the ticketing system to. On a road like the m25 ticketing people for 10% would be bad PR. It may be the threshold is 70. I wouldn't risk any more than the 10% tbh.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
