This is the view from the other end of the road.... 25mph signs.
There are also at least 2 sets of repeater 25mph signs along the road. I'd guess about 500m between them at least.
So... advisory speed limit or actual speed limit?
Number surrounded by a red ring is legal limit. In a 30 no repeaters are required because street lighting does the job. In an NSL, no streetlighting acts as a repeater for NSL so they're not required. Any other limit will have repeaters 'regularly' alternating from one side of the road to the other.There are also at least 2 sets of repeater 25mph signs along the road. I'd guess about 500m between them at least.

The limit in your photo is legally binding, as it would be if it said something stupid like 27.5.
PLEASE, everyone who debated this read a recent highway code!

I'm going to say the Peugeot Bipper, Citroen Berlingo & Renault Kangoo. Generally a van driver is so far up your chuff it's unreal but these little s
tes seem intent on 25mph everywhere. I can only imagine that a prerequisite of the driver must be that they have mushy peas for brains.
Anyone who buys a van called a "Bipper" must be a royal fking retard by any stretch. Excuse, as I write this as a victim of taking 6miles of country lane 20mph just now.
Then of course there is, forgive me for saying, the invalid-looking versions of the above which are always driven atrociously. I can forgive people who have had these adapted for disabilities but, there should still be a line drawn when driving just isn't feasible or safe anymore for them.

According to this;

any limit below 30 mph other than 20 mph requires the specific permission of the Secretary of State.

As a former gee gee tower I can only hope that you were stuck behind me doing 20, being considerate to the equine passenger in the accompanying horse transport. Possibly I got up to 25 on a favourable stretch, but upset an in transit pony at your peril.

Anything really, except another TVR. I don't like following anyone, but prefer to be sat behind vehicles that are slow for a reason than sat behind vehicles going slowly just because the driver has the mental agility of a crab apple.
Mostly round here, it's Skodas which seem to be electronically limited to 40mph, pulling out in front of everyone and no doubt muttering away that everyone else needs to be more patient.

Weird. Why buy a car fast enough to get into trouble, and then give the police an excuse to pull you over for nothing.And in the same stroke make your car look ghey as f
