    (my understanding is that) it's a tech race between the cops & the rd manufacturers LOL
    ( I also think) you can get fined heavily within IRL for possession of a RD!!
    the roads have got a lot better in recent years- there's no real advantge to speeding anymore- just give yourself an extra 10 mins, enjoy the ride & arrive alive

    no real advantage to speeding, agree
    but it's damn hard when they set ridiculously low speed limits where it makes no sense like 50kmh on an open dual carraigeway. and it's these places they put the fecking speed checks.

    I passed 5 of them in the space of 2 weeks in different places over a month ago. still haven't heard anything, but I could have 10 points if they call come in the post some day :-(
    Thank you all the ladies I had pleasure of meeting. Forever grateful for the memories

    Exactly!
    In my part of the country there is this 50 kms speed limit on a 1,5 miles long straight line. the damm van is there at all time day and night saving no lifes but making money for the exchequer.I have to drive past it 6 times a day every day, and this is really beginning to get to me.
    Iam not a speed freak, but here, they are really taking the piss!.

    Some of the speed limits on our roads are ridiculous. Whoever is in charge of setting these limits should be taken out and shot. A small, narrow meandering country road with potholes everyway has a limit of 80km, but a large, wide straight road that could fit 5 buses across its width has a limit of 50km??? Absolutely absurd.

    ok dudes.

    i agree DONT SPEED but but these vans park in stupit places just to catch ya. for example 50km zone and they screw ya at 52km thats the style they like it's like a lady letting you nearly cum and then stopping and saying oh were u close. teasing nature of the speeed vans. straight road 4.30am nobody on the road 100km zone drops to 50km zone and there he is like you could get robbed driving on a back road at that speed that time of the night
