Look at my sig...  :wink:

Can't vouch for what the force in your area does but if there's no signs up or signs missing then our lot don't enforce. And if they're parked "Round a bend" then they won't be able to accurately target you in time as the laser needs to fire in a straight line and also have you in shot far enough away to recognise the VRM of the vehicle.

Ask yourself this - do you speed to get there quicker? If so, time it next time out and see how much time you actually make up. Probably not a lot. And if it's the thrill of speeding you love, do a track day instead. No speed limits and you can genuinely test yourself on a circuit with little no likelihood of getting a fine. Most people (myself included) think they are far better drivers than they actually are. Get out on the track and prove how good you are is my advice - get your adrenaline rush in a great environment  :cool:


Keeping schtum. Mostly.

Just checked you out! The whole saving time while speeding etc was the part of the course that made me think about it not doing it again, as the course speaker said, saving 5min tops on most journeys.

I guess it is just the thrill that makes me want to drive fast! I have been on a couple of the super car experiences, guess I'll have to purchase a couple more as I doubt I'll be taking my 150pd to a track day any time soon!!
