No !

Thank goodness thought I when I came across your post. And weI can never understand the logic of having speed limits,cameras, then letting everyone know where the cameras are.

I got lost this morning around Dunkerque. Whilst looking for Ferry signs, I got flashed in a 110 zone doing 120kph thinking I was still in the 130 zone. I will just have to wait and see if anything drops through the door.  My own stupid fault as I should have been concentrating more. Whooops

Hi Degstroy,

Would you mind posting all future routes you will be taking in advance so that the rest of us can avoid 'bumping into you' so to speak? Apart from exceeding the speed limit when towing at 75mph you are in serious danger of being involved in an accident. Not good for you or us.

Possibly & probably most people have exceeded the speed limit at least at one time or another, but please don't assume that we all do. Some people do not.

I personally would have thought that a sensible & responsible adult would find that having kids in the back was all the more reason to kill their speed (..."not the child") rather than providing more of a temptation.

This is not a personal attack on anyone either, merely my own feelings.

I wouldn't be so bold to say that I was 'assuming' anything other than normal human behaviour. If you've never exceeded the speed limit, not even once, maybe by a mile an hour, then you're to be congratulated. Well done, and happy motoring.

Pardon me but you did say "we are all guilty of speeding from time to time".

You are quite right in that I certainly have been guilty of speeding (& I admit being to silly enough when younger to think it didn't matter that much) accidentally on occasion.

However  certainly don't think it's OK to do so deliberately & certainly not with passengers who are children. So maybe pay less attention to where the cameras are & more to the speedometer, & keeping within the limit would result in less accidents.
