M60 Stockport has roadworks with average speed camera's and a limit of 40mph.

This morning the overhead gantry signs are flashing 60mph limit thru the 40 limit so i wonder who went faster and got nicked.

Also one of the girls at work just filled up with petrol just beofre she got on the M60 motorway at Stockport. She hit the button to reset the trip meter but actually changed the speedo from mph to kph, then drove thru the roadworks at 40 kph with everyone else flashing her and honking at her for going too slow

Not going to make any sexist comments, but it is amazing how simple technology can baffle some humans.
Did the relative speed of the things to the side of her not give the impression something was not quite as it should be.

Yes it did but she has no idea the difference between kph and mph so stuck to 40 until parked up and changed the speedo back

Bless her anyway, I suppose it's better not to give anymore money than neccessary to the speeding lobby............... and the points on the licence.

See, just as I`ve said before they should never have been given the vote let alone a driving licence!.
