ali_kat said: The A41 (Solihull to Warwick) has signs proposing a new limit all along it  So does the A452 thru Balsall Common to Warwick Noticed that today when I went through there to Meriden. Came back home via B4117 Honiley and Hatton and noticed proposals to drop speed down to 50mph as well along there.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
We need to find a dawn raid/breakfast run route that doesn't run the risk of losing your license for simply making some reasonably spirited progress.

There's still plenty of NSL out there, you just have to go down a smaller grade of road than before. It does tend to mean going for the kind of roads that mean using 40-70ish MPH, rather than roads that mean you can go up a bit higher. They are normally the roads you'll find me on, as my cars is more fun at vaguely sensible speeds down narrow lanes.

(Well, if you're going to do it, do it properly!!! ) I was thinking more about doing the Triangle and the valleys, before they all become 50mph with average speed cameras.
