So much for them being visible.

Having said that, I have done well for 10 years driving and never been caught speeding. Only a matter of time lol.  :-[

On the A55 at Broughton the other day, going West-bound though a well signed and long term 50 MPH roadwork section; I was on cruise at 49 MPH and was overtaken by a line of nose-to-tail`ers doing well over the national speed limit: the clearly visible fixed Gatso had a field day.....there`s simply no telling some people! ::)

M5 (Mostly south)... Between J14 & 30.. Some 09 plate silver skoda's... 2 BMW 5 series 07 & 08 (08 is blue & 07 is silver) both saloons... silver T5 est and a black range rover (only seen that once & on the other carrageway...

"Damm unsportsman like I say..." I mean they get all bent out of shape if we started going to work in "Marked Cars"

The other thing i object to is being made to wait at the end of the M4 (the bit by the bus lane as you go into london) for 20 mins....whilst a convoy of 9 range rovers & 15 police bikes come past at 90..... expecting to see a glimpse of HRH or even "Phill the Greek" But no, Imagine my displeasure when a bently came past full of "ethnic diplomats" from bloody Madeupistan....

cos sitting there on the side of the motorway, like in the olden days in full livery only slows cars down, it doesn't bring in the fines that covert cars do.
And I thought the idea was to help us from speeding in the first place .......  :-/ :-/ :-/
