rob275 1817 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 Remember that 60mph on the speedo is only around 52mph in reality I always cruise between 55 and 60 in average speed zones 50mph is 54mph on speedo, 52 is 56.8mph(ish) in my car. Though it is very dependant on wheel diameter of course and also the car itself. Saying that the majority of cameras do not clock you until you do x amount over the limit. A general rule of thumb seems to be 10% +2 or so a copper told me once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polishingpedlar 49 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 Trucks from I think 7.5 tonnes upward are fitted with speed limiters by law if some pass you over 55 at a rate of knots there is a bit of skulduggery going onLaw has changed recently regarding trucks. They are now limited to 60 mph. I drive a 7.5 DAF and believe me 60mph in ones of those is fast enough, especially when it's windy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glacialfire 9 Report post Posted December 26, 2014 I passed my test in the UK, but my first experience of being in a car on my own, was driving back to my flat in the Naples suburbs from the airport, onto the motorway during rush hour in a left hand drive car. My fingers cracked when I finally managed to prize them off the steering wheel, and my hair lightened by several shades. Coming back to driving in the UK after that seemed like a breeze. 1 Special K reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
