Spotted Red VXR8 A31 West bound this pm. Not sure if MadMTbiker. Hope you didn't get caught by Police Van parked discreetly in hedge - i think i did

[stubbsey]

O dear Gents. Hope you got away with it. I was out in the area today but further South than that.

[preciousmetal]

I was doing about 70 mph on a dual carriageway which is 60 mph. Luckily had slowed down but still 10% over. So probably got zapped.

When coming back at 60 mph and saw other R8 it was going a bit quicker

[stubbsey]

Hope its clean fella and you got away with it! I guess a 2 week wait then!

Saw you parked up in Alresford yes a brake test when I spotted that one

Long time no see! Hoping my December has much less travel!

yes long time no see Jeff. Thought it might be you. Why can't the police do something useful rather than wear my brakepads out. Went to winchester which was bedlem - "black sunday". Ended up back in Alresford and now at Oakley Hall Hotel

Hope to catch up soon

Just to double check mate, were there NSL signs on that road or explicitly 60?

Seems quite a few people don't know that NSL on a dual carriageway is actually 70 and has been for a few years now. I didn't know it had changed until recently when I started taking a theory test for my motorcycle license.

I don't know - as people say different things. I was led to believe it was 60 mph on a DC unless it had armco barriers then it was 70 mph. There is no SL sign and was no armco barriers so assumed it was 60 mph on that stretch. guess I will find out in 2 weeks

Relax
70 mph


Armco Required. Suburban Myth Number: WTF

Highway Code between Rules:136 and 137
"A dual carriageway is a road which has a central reservation to separate the carriageways."
