Speed cameras??? LOL! The U.K. is just a massive police state, just like the USA, but the nazi pig cops in the USA stop you and harrass you, instead of the speed cameras. Every where you go in the UK, there are camera's and video serveillance watching every move you make. It's very "Orwellian"...just like those "safety" checkpoints in the USA. Very nazi like and "Orwellian".
I don't personally drive but I have done a hell of a lot more mileage than most drivers because I grew up with a minibus company in the family. I remember when we took a bus of the road after it had done 10 times the equator of the Earth. You should now by now that most people on the motorway do not drive at 60mph, the average is generally 80mph. You should be driving at the same speed as everyone else because if you are driving to fast or to slow, then you can cause a pile-up.
You are allowed 10% + 3mph so if at 80mph you are driving illegally but are not likely to be fined. However most people do not drive over this and the speed cameras soon pick up those who do. I have not seen anyone in the UK driving at 110mph.
I'm refering to motoways, there aren't many camaras on motorways. I don't condone breaking the law however, if u are doing 70 and the average speed is 90, then all those cars will have to slow down untill someone isn't paying atention and crashe., I'd rather break the law and drive at the same speed as everyone elso than have a death on my conscience. If everyone is driving at 50 then I would slow to 50 and not do 60 or 40.
my friend was doing 125m/ph on the motorway we then had to change lanes to let a lambo in front who went on to do in excess of 140! also superbikes tend to go over 110pmh often
@alanheath take a journey down to cornwall on a bank holiday and you will see people doing over 110 mph trust me, we have done 120mph before and not got caught lol
I'm sorry if I sounded angry, no hard feelings :) anyway, have a look at this idiot doing 190mph and I think it is the M25 but I'm not sure as I live in york. /watch?v=qAK7WQu2NNc
@alanheath Anyone with some kind of clue can dodge the speed camera. Even the average distance cameras can be beaten by simply changing lane as you approach the final camera.
I do indeed. I have no idea how much potatoes, corn flakes or milk costs but I can tell you with a lot of accuracy about petrol - or rather diesel - prices.
Fuel in the UK is very expensive, especially diesel. In Belgium it is cheaper than in Germany and Holland and about the same as in Poland.
The surprise country in Europe is Switzerland where petrol is much cheaper than its neighbours.(Of course, if you go through Switzerland from the UK to PL you have gone the wrong way.)
Thank you. Unfortunately some idiot did run into me - literally - and the car I am driving in this video was wrecked. But let's look on the bright side - he hit my rear and not my side. I spent three hours in hospital and not three months!
no body in Europe has that yellow line. it will cause lot of confusion .

@RidvanChipre I think yellow lines are better than white!
alanheath 3 days ago
where is the yellow line on the right between the two directions ?
RidvanChipre 6 days ago
@RidvanChipre This is the UK - no yellow lines except on the side of the road meaning no parking.

It should be as fast as a motorway, 70 MPH is the limit on dual carriageways.

Nice and legally? lol Most people in the uk drive between 70 and 110mph!

Really - and the speed cameras don't pick them up. Clearly you have no experience of driving in the UK.

No the service was very good. The ambulance had the siren on and I was stretchered in despite my protests that it was not that bad.
They thought my kidneys had been damaged but they were ok. Fortunately they told me this after they knew there was no problem.
