"Police reported ahead" on Waze

[Pelicula]

What a smug little boys club this has become.

Capable of safely driving my car at 71 on a deserted stretch of well maintained daytime motorway and to the conditions. Check.
Unaware that THEY would sneakily leave the next set of gantry signs at 60 despite there being no reason at all to do so ?
Guilty as charged. Well done, have a bun.

Sneakily? I'm not sure the super bright speed limit signs hung over the road are sneaky, your ability to see into the future is obviously flawed though.

And who are THEY?

Or do you have a sideline selling tinfoil hats?

Repeating yourself ? Are you Joe Biden ? I sincerely hope you're not in a position of responsibility.
The big sign is not physically sneaky, but I guess you knew that was never my claim.
You are aware though, though you would deny it till the cows come home, that the action of maintaining an unnecessary limit would be construed as sneaky by most on the right side of the argument.

It's not sneaky though, they have posted it, and maintained t for whatever reason they saw fit, you caught yourself out, just make peace with that and take responsibility that your poor decision making was your undoing.

Keep having personal digs though, we all love an anonymous keyboard warrior hiding behind a stripped out profile.

I hate to drag you back to the original point but I was simply showing a comparison between the unchecked and unpunished actions of dangerous and frustrating MLM's with the over-simplistic robotic 'fine-em-all' approach to exceeding the posted limit, even if the circumstances do not warrant it, and if the courts were honest, would be regarded as unfair by any reasonable person.
All in the name of saving lives. The cowards.
Heres a thing....
Theres a lane near me where, in sections, it is impossible for two vehicles to pass (even if one is a cycle) with a completely broken surface with many smashed alloys requiring recovery. Blind bends, crests and regular fallen branches in the road leading to many accidents. 30 mph is averagely 'safe'.
Yet this road is a NSL !
The same morons, yes THEY....do nothing at all about reducing the speed limit despite massive opposition from residents. A measure that would cost visually nothing. Because they smugly hold all the cards.
We see which side you are on. And that at least to me makes sense.

Fined for helping to enforce the limit and prevent crime

Would you approve of letting would-be burglars be aware of a police surveillance operation?

So, by your logic, you disapprove of 'This is a Neighbourhood Watch Area' signs ?
A measure to dissuade a crime taking place.
So what did our man in Grimsby do thats any different ?

The judiciary can see the difference, the same way I can.

I would wager the vast majority of the public would agree.

The difference is that they have a vested interest to prosecute our man in Grimsby as a deterrent to others.
Is that ok with you ? That a man is criminalised to send out a message to protect their revenue stream ? Is that what you would call justice ? If so then I think you'll be very much in the minority.

I always double flash every few seconds if I go by a camera

If I have time or it's lunch time I'll find a suitable pull in place and do it for half an hour

I also get a bit of satisfaction when an oncoming diver acknowledges with a wave or a nod

Looks like I'm a crim

Ah, deflection, nice, always an indicator of being found out, now jog on my friend, nothing more to see here.

You sir are a hero amongst the sneaks.

This troll is at it again. Not really furthering the argument. Others have been banned for less....

Guilty as charged. Well done, have a bun.

If you’ve ever flown you’d know that seeing a clear skies in front if you means nothing if those who know better have informed of traffic in the area.

Are the most capable pilots those who ignore ATC warnings and go by their judgement of the conditions?

If not, why do you apply different criteria of capability on a road.

Because:
1. Warned by highways folk of a potential hazard
2. Brightly lit limit roundels up ahead
3. Blight yellow boxes by the side of said roundels
4. Tell-tale limit-watch triple camera set a few hundred metres ahead of said roundels
Action taken: ignore

Where’s capable in that?!!

I don't think flying at 400-500mph is really comparable to driving down a motorway at 70mph when it comes to identifying potential hazards ahead.

Apart from totally missing the point I made, most of us here with flying experience won’t be anywhere close to 400/500mph!!

Do you mean when you're taxiing on the run way before take off?

If we're at the stage where we're comparing burglary to speeding, we can also assume that common sense really has gone for good. Using that as an analogy requires a reality check.
