Local councils should be banished for stealing from the public

If I do get a letter and I do have to pay a fine I may take this up with a local MP and put a complaint in. As the sign should be further back and there should.be more warning tbh.

Nothing wrong with complaining about it.

years ago I got a speeding offence. i was bang to rights and the police officers were more than fair giving me an unspecified speeding offence 3 points and £60 fine however they did say do not contest it as i would lose my licence (109mph in a 1.4 pug 306)**
unfortunately my licence was at the DVLA getting updated to a new version so i could not produce (I had posted off that morning) so the police said i had to go to court instead. I argued that i wasnt failing to produce on purpose and could i have more time, i paid the fine - which was refunded

so in a panic i wrote to my MP who got back to me the following day with a houses of parliament address to write to, which i did and i could not believe it but he actually sorted it out for me, i got an apology from the police for undue stress and i was able to produce my licence at the local cop shop the day it turned up.

So TLDR writing to your MP may help. (note i am the 1st to moan about our MPs and i cant comment on any other aspect of him or his policies, but I have to hand it to Richard Spring for helping out a constituent that time)

**I dont drive like that any more!

had a look at some of the new cambridge bus gates - at least ABRP+WAZE would avoid routes through them, although,
neither of their online maps show what the obstacle is the route is skirting around
, perhaps when you get close they alert you though.

The poor pug must have been screaming. Listed top speed of the 90bhp variant was only 111.

I had an 'indicated' 129mph from my Metro GTi (1.4 103bhp) and then an 'indicated' 143 when I swapped the 1.4 for a modified 1.8 VVC from an Elise.

Private roads of course.
