Title: Use the M25 between the A3 & M4?
Post by: skcollob_ho on 07 February 2008, 17:05
For any of you that travel on the M25................. BEWARE..............


As from 15th Feb 2008 the speed cameras between junctions 10 (Wisley/A3) and 15 (Heathrow) WILL be active. At present they are set intermittently to activate with any vehicle travelling over 93 MPH. As from the 15th they will be permanently set to activate at 80 MPH. They are changing to digital from tape.

I am reliable informed that everyone travelling over this speed WILL get a ticket. This will no doubt rake in the Government `loads of cash`. DON'T GET CAUGHT.


Please Forward to your Friends......

I've heard (thought never had it 100% confirmed) that they usually give you 10% + 2 on the speed limit - to allow for a dodgey speedo and the fact you can't drive along staring at your speedo the whole time - basically I heard that police can prosicute for even 1MPH over but any 1/2 decent lawyer will get you off so they don't bother trying.

By the way skcollob - why'd you post this in the Mk3 section? Don't you think our dub-brothers deserve to be warned too?!   :laugh:

have to agree with that!

In a Mk 1 or Mk 2 you get shaken to death at speed!
A Mk 4 is too boring to drive and the Mk 5 boys wont go fast incase it damages their new car!
