I wouldnt look to defend this at all, but i am aware of the constant complaints received from local areas to these big events that complain of the speeding, noisy vehicles in and out all day and night.

I guess you have to see it from their point of view aswell!

Absolutely!What I meant was ,that bit of road is often targeted by the camera vans.
Hardly suprising really the way some of those Ford prats were driving!

Andy not a pop at you mate, and anyway why would you want to speed down the 605 when you have all the other lovely little roads around-B660 for a start .
You never see camera vans down the sideroads-the civilian numpties who control them probably can't find them-and long may that continue.

Its not just the A605 that will be targetted.
A47 east (Eye bypass)
A47 west (Caster bypass)
A15 (Glinton bypass)
Watch out for a yellow van parked up on the side of the road,or flyover bridge.
