Yesterday I drove from Walsall to J9 of the M6 to J15 of the M40 about 45 miles at a guess. From to J9 to the M42 junction was all road works 50MPH With cameras everywhere. The M40 was all at 60MPH overhead variables then M40 was normal. When I was at the light at J15 to join the A46 the OBC was showing 36.0 MPG. I had to do a double take, that's a stupid figure, but the boredom was like the 1970's when we had that 50MPH blanket speed limit, mind numbingly boring. Oh yes for the drivers who want to do 80MPH in the road works sections I hope all the cameras were fully operational. IDIOTS.

Yes the 273 is an amazing engine for power and economy, why do some speed through these congested sections, it is the last minute braking that slows the traffic to stop start, if everyone understood that if they drove at 50 or what ever the limit was things would all run smoothly.

the M54 road works (for the new exit for the land rover engine plant I54) have caught over 6000 speeders since they started. :shock:
