it would be good if UK would put up signs at harbors and the chunnel entry so tourists know the speedlimits...
enter any euro country and its posted at every border : all the zones with the according limit

cept the uk... there ya gotta ask the service station attendant...
which had to ask her colleague and she wasnt very sure about it either.


or i missed the signs?

You missed the signs. It also then converts the values to kmph for you.
"Whats up", "Piston Broke", "Yeah me too...hic"

If there's streetlighting (built up area) and no speed limit signs then it's 30mph.
If there be no streetlighting and no speed limit signs then it's national limit, 60mph single carriageway 70mph dual carriageway. Simple eh..... wacko.gif

yeah but they only go that slow when they're using their mobile phones so they don't risk having an accident.
it's not my time to go, it's not my time to die
the last thing I want is for my family to cry
