Watch Your Speed!

I'm also sure that VERY few (non-caravaner) motorists are aware of the 50mph limit. You can almost sense them thinking 'why is he doing precisely 50 on this lovely clear straight road'.

So you can admire my stickers on the rear of my van? The likelyhood is they came off the dual on cruise control, on to a single and then hit the go button - plank.

I wouldn't mind betting there arer a fair number of solo motorists who don't realise that the limit on non-dual carriageways is 60 and not the national speed limit.

..... or that on dual carriageways it is the national speed limit.

60 is the national speed limit on single carriageway roads or 50 when towing.

Everytime I go down the dual carriageway on the Lincoln by pass - the number of people who hit the brakes when they see the speed camera is staggering - despite the de-restriction sign just before the camera!  One day there will be an accident as someone hits the brakes when doing 70 mph suddenly down to 60 mph.  I am not talking about people towing although I agree that a lot of motorists don't realise we aren't supposed to tow more than 50 mph on all roads except Dual and Mways! 

mobile speed cameras cannot detect if a vehicle is towing or not....they are simply set to the enforcement speed limit (usually 10% + 3 MPH) for the majority of road users i.e. cars

Are we confident of that? If so we can tow at just up to 58 mph, or even 69 if it really can't detect towing, on single carriageways then, provided we trust our speedo or sat nav.

Whilst knowing the speed limit I feel towing at 50 mph on a lovely free flowing "A" road, one with double lines, is more dangerous and decidely more hassle generating than moving with the flow up to 55 mph.

Should your assertion be true it seems it could be "safe" from prosecution as well.
