Also, I think I have been zapped by the camera van, on the bridge overlooking the dual carriageway that bypasses Cowbridge.

Never seen him there before - bstardos.

Going towards Cardiff, over bridge going uphill. Pulled out to overtake van, and SHIIITTTTT!!

Brakes on, but reckon I was doing about 85.

Waiting for NIP, this was last Thursday

I used to live in Cardiff and work in Bridgend, always used A48 (had a VFR800 at the time) and didn't see the van ONCE on the A48 in hundreds of journeys. Typical.

Another revenue machine then. I can understand why they want to reduce the speed on the approach. Just how many accidents do they have in that locality? anyone seen any?

I always used to go the long way round when I go to cardiff, but it cost more on fuel and time, so now i use the crossing everytime. (Have the workers in the booths got a sence of humor at all? they always appear grumpy to me)

Thanks for the warning, it's usually an un-official 1/4 mile off the tolls

Guys
just do what i do and fit a jammer to the front and back of your car works a treat.. oops should not call it that its an automatic garage opener..:-)

As far as i can see this is to simply generate income, they obviosuly have not been catching enough people so lets introduce a lower limit and try and catch everyone out.., I go across it each day and see no accidents/problems whatsoever.. Infact the only problems i have are with idiots using the tag lane and stopping me going through quickly...
