fullscreenaging Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Unfortunately they don’t have to put warning signs out anymore. They don’t even have to be conspicuous. The law changed a while ago. You can find the info on the government website I think. There is a place a bike cop likes to hide near me. It’s a slight left hand curve with a thick tall hedge on the left. He stands about 10 foot after the hedge ends and slightly back. When you spot him it’s too late if you are over the limit. bast*rds! Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Fingers crossed for you.They've blitzed our area recently which to be honest needed doing because we live at the bottom of a hill on a rural road in a 30mph zone. Our drive is on a blind bend and people regularly come round it doing well over 50 and are surprised when a bike emerges from a hidden exit. When words have been had its always a case of them thinking it's a national speed limit because it's a rural road. Having had a van on the hill several times over the past week they have now erected police speed check signs, but only going up the hill, not down it. Quote

There was a place in harlow when you just came off a roundabout there is small driveway with a high privet hedge that camouflages the copper Quote
Tiggie Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 [mention]Mississippi Bullfrog[/mention] similar to the road I live on. 30mph bit routinely gets raced on both up and down the hill. I have seriously considered buying some of these to put opposite my house. Quote

Hopefully they were just after the lad racers it's a favourite with the souped up corsas 5 of which were parked up further along with the lads all chatting in a group Quote
fastbob Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 They will have often positioned themselves so that they have clocked you long before you have clocked them such as looking down a long piece of curved dual carriageway. Quote

True, 2 years ago at St. Mary's loch cafe there was one of them and he could get the speed over 2 miles away the f*&ing B$%£$%rd Quote
