That's effectively the speed that humps allow. Wonder if they'll get rid
of them?


Humps are cheaper than cameras.

Humps will go if they install road pricing GPS units in cars.. then they
can fine you for exceeding the speed limit on the fly, or maybe even
disable the vehicle on the grounds that its being driven by an idiot or is
stolen if you start clocking up (say) £10 per 100 meters per mph over
limit fines.


I like the speed humps that are just wide enought to slow down most cars but
let an A8 Quatro pass over them without touching them due to it's wider
wheel base than the average car. These speed humps certainly speed me up.
