Bennetts explain why this is not a big deal.

It feels strange to get biking news from an insurer, but they really are less clickbaity and more substantive than the likes of MCN or VisorDown.

So this means anybody that does 41+ or 51+ on the motorway could get £2500 fine.

Just is case your wondering how I came up with those figures, that's 20mph and 30mph that I see regularly for the speed they decide put up on the motorways. Usually a coupe of miles before roadworks or more often than not, just because they can.

I'm still confused about motorways, you get average speed checks through roadworks but *looks at doormat nervously* don't ever seem to get anything through, same with sections of the M25/M1.

So are they just slowing down half the traffic for the sake of it? I thought motorways were the safest roads? How does people randomly slowing down (not related to traffic conditions) improve safety? Doesn't this cause further congestion/tailbacks?

Clickjacking, innit.

Copy-pasta this if necessary.

I just had a Hazard Perception test flashback, that picture is making me click like my life depended upon it. Laughing

Side note, is that a CBF600? Arse end looks like a CB500 but seems too big. Thinking

A week. So footballers and bankers. Both don't get any sympathy from me.
