Manchester - Sheffield

Post by dpr59 »

Across the A628/A616 this morning.

Cleared a truck and then nothing in front of me, except.

50% or more of the trip covered by specs 'avaraging' speed cameras.

Still it did give time to enjoy the wonderful countryside of North Derbyshire/South Yorkshire.


Once we made Meadowhall I could have done with specs cameras on the tills.
I'm sure Sue was avaraging more than 100pph.

I live right off the A616 at Deepcar and know those pesky SPECS all to well. Luckily there are a couple of nice little country lanes from the Deepcar junction which take you all the way up to the roundabout, great to blast along and no risk of a ticket. (mind you look out for idiots who keep putting their 1horse power in the middle of the road.)

Mine was an idiot in a Range Rover.

Watched him in my mirrors jumping past the cars behind me in some dreeadful manouvers.

By the time he got behind me I had another car in front.
At a really inappropriate monment he went for the gap in front of me.

Oh dear, the gap seems to have shrunk to nothing... :twisted: :twisted:

Back behind me off roader person :P :P
