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.

That's a number, and less likely to be misread.

And you don't have to read the label, unless the satnav makes a
noise to
warn you it's got a camera.

Unless it's a scamera van,in which case you need a radar detector as
well, and a laser detector, too in case PC99 is lurking behind a bush.

Keep going, with any luck, you'll have your 12 points soon enough....


You ignorant idiot. What on earth makes you think the scamera vans
aren't marked on the satnav too?

My satnav marks sites where they have been known to lurk in the past.
That doesn't mean that there's one there now *or* that it hasn't found a
new site just round the next bend. I got so many false positives, I've
disabled the option. I also got many, many failures to warn me...


Many (all?) police forces publish where their mobile units are going to
be for the week ahead. I'm sure some company provides an up to date
database at a cost.
