They don't - speed limits do not apply to bikes

Take a careful look at the camera on the bend on the 127 near the Esso garage and you can see its clearly focused on the opposite carriageway going into Southend

Whilst on the subject of extra taxation has anyone else noticed how the fuel prices have edged their way back up again since Xmas?

Went across the Dartford Crossing this morning and noticed they'd already stuck up the 'Camera' signs, all be it they are currently greyed out.

Funny thing is I came back through the Tunnel this afternoon and didn't notice any signs up for those coming North

Thanks for the heads up Rob
