just read this from another fourm:-
I read this letter in this months 'Ride' magazine:-
'Did you know Warwickshire has no 60mph A-Roads left? A reminder that the petition against the proposed nationwide single carriageway reduction of the 60mph speed limit to 50 mph will expire on September 9th. This lower limit would be enforced by the latest SPEC's cameras (hence the tightening up of the number plate laws). So remember apathy is the government's best weapon! See
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/noNSLreduction/ and oppose the blanket 0 limits. Terry Hudson'
The SPEC's cameras are digital, and record ALL number plates. The exact distance is known between pairs/sets of cameras so they can work out the average speed, so no slowing down for the cameras, then speeding up!
This has the potential to spoil all the decent roads, (routes around the Scotch Piper to the Hen and Chickens, The roads around the Denbeigh Moors, etc!!!)
