    That's a great place to catch speeding drivers as I know so well as my daughter lives 5 miles from there.

    Don't tell me she's been caught by a GATSO, like your wife was?

    Did you find it as hilarious as you did your wife's misfortune?

    50mph on a dual carriageway is easy pickings for the clueless drivers.

    The speed limit on "Sir Fred Hoyle Way" - part of the A650 and a grade separated dual carriageway completely separate from other local roads
    except at its junctions - *is* 50mph on its southern part.

    The northern part is subject only to the NSL.

    It reminds me to some extent of the Potteries D Ring Road (A500) - 50 on
    the souther end, 70 more the majority of its length, travelling north.

    Then crushed one hopes - a fitting end. He won't be doing it again as Anthony Bournes used to say.

    You are all for crushing people who use modes of transport of which you
    don't approve (unless you are using it, of course, preferably without windscreen wipers)?

    Do the folks round your way call you "Genghis"?

    Or "Vlad"?

    PS: Where's the chav-cycling content?
