Another announced that the speed limit on a dual carriage is 60MPH!
It usually is.
You really love making sweeping, WRONG statements, don't you?

Jesus Christ. Let me draw you a picture.

And that picture proves that you made a WRONG statement. Again.


The website clearly states a single carriageway is 60mph.


Ok, so I misread dual in the post above.
I hate to think how many mistakes you make on the road.


On a road you see the road, not a label telling you what it is. You
can't misread it.


Sometimes you have to read the label, too. there's a mile stretch of dual
carriageway near here which has 50mph signs posted.

And a few fully lit stretches of road that I legally drove along at
60mph earlier today. Then the limit changed to 40, and the only visble
difference in the road was what the lootenant calls the label every half
mile.
