Posted on 28/03/2021 16:49 by WherenextApparently I didn’t slow down early enough going into a thirty zone and was clocked at 33mph. So that’s my three decade plus halo trashed🤷♀️ Very annoyed with myself.
Ttda, I always thought there was a 10% tolerance level for speeding. Bit tough that. Mind you I've often been wary of the Traffic Police in both Notts and Derbyshire. Don't forget to tell your insurer.

the 10% is not really official but accepted in most cases, except in 30 or 40 mph zones, however, my cousin, ex police driver always told me that you cannot be doing more than 30mph when leaving a 30mph zone, however, if you are doing e.g. 34 mph when entering a 30mph zone but you can prove your were in the act of slowing down. e.g. brakes applied and brake lights on, this would be ok, but this may all be B.S.

As the Lockdown is lifted and the world starts moving again, Brian would like to remind TtDA, Wherenext, Rufs et al that the one place where you MUST behave is on the roads in North Wales -- A55 etcetera -- 'cos the Bobbies there do NOT take prisoners !! Should they stop you then Behave Nicely !!

As we live not a mile from the A55 Brian and see on a daily basis in local news what they have to put up with I can fully understand where they are coming from. Besides which one of our near neighbours has not long retired from traffic duty in the area and he has enough stories to fill a few volumes.

WN. We were due to sample the delights at Yeo Valley as recommended by my sister but lockdown intervened, the gardens are a great attraction as well. Will hopefully visit when things improve.
PS I like your new view, we used to look over that way from my Grandfather's house, happy days!

Mixed day here, this morning was dry and cold, this afternoon the rain started, its now pouring down.
We got out for a drive before the rain, still local but its amazing where you can get to on all the back roads.
Neighbours over the back from us having a party outside under a gazebo in the pouring freezing rain, mad or what.
Our next door neighbours were also out putting together a gazebo in the pouring rain, what is it with these folk, they can't have more than 4 people from 2 households at the moment, no indoor visiting allowed, yet today they have had both sets of grandparents in their house. They have banners across their conservatory windows saying " new baby boy" but she isn't/wasn't pregnant.
Winter 10 tog duvet for us just now but we don't heat the bedroom from 9pm on. Summer one will come out probably May time here.
