I've just found out the a road I use a lot with no history of accidents is having the limit cut from 40 to 30, yes I know it's the same everywhere, however this location has a proper laser speed check by the police, not this PCSO community crap nearly every week, often with two or three police vehicles hidden in peoples front gardens, no doubt with their blessing. All the times I've used this road including very early in the morning I can honestly say I've never seen a vehicle over about 42mph, speed checks in other areas that do have accidents are more or less zero, I can only assume someone is giving back handers to get this done. Now the road is more dangerous than we knew before I will be warning other road users of my approach to this location with my soon to fitted, a lot louder horn at all hours of the day and night, safety first .

I've got and had a clean licence for 22 years but, these sort of people who no doubt have had points for speeding before boil my piss!

This bit of road is a mile long, mostly straight with a few houses at one end, each house is the other side of 600k so I'm guessing a few people in high places don't want people using the road and reducing the house prices and will soon have it closed off entirely
