speeding
There I was poodling down to Puckeridge this afternoon and there they were on the slip road with a speed gun - i expect a lot of the drivers using the new part of the A10 will be finding a speeding fine on their doormat shortly. Shame they were not on the A10 last night just before the Hoddesdon turnoff - i was extremely tempted to phone the police as two cars - one a silver Audi TT and a silver Astra were having a race - i was doing 65 mph they must have been over the 100 mph - all it would take for an accident was for someone to overake and not realise how fast these two idiots were travelling..... what more can I say.

I drove down the old A10 the other day - just to realise that they have reduced all the speed limits.
If the roads were safe enough to do 40 and 60 when it was a main road Why now is it only safe to go at 40MPH on the bits between the villages - I suppose there will be speed cameras next.
I am fine with the 30MPH speed limits in the villages as that is normal for built up areas but I can't see much point in reducing all of the limits.

Easy Money - target a fast road with lots of fast moving cars

I tend to only see the Speed Vans out between 9 and 5 on Monday to Friday.
Incidentally if anybody is planning to be Ill or Go to hospital visiting watch out for the speed van as you head towards the QE2 (down Howlands)

And they were there again yesterday at midday on the top of the bridge this time,not sure whether they had the speed gun out or not - i have noticed more police sitting on the top not only at the Ware end but also at Hoddesdon. Quite right you say - easy money.
