Sounds like ANPR to me, probably OK if you were speeding, as long as you're taxed

My favourite bit, 10 lanes down to 2 and its a bloody big whopping free for all ... I cant help but toss the money into the scoop at the toll, eye up any potential wannabe racers and plant it

well you may as well get your moneys worth

Nothing beats the run down to La Sarthe for Le Mans!!! You could line up at the tolls next to anything from an Aston to a Zonda.

It aint cheap but it is fun Its lovely tarmac.


Only ever seen 1 cop car on there, I had ahem on the clock, the coppers passed me at about 110 and a TT passed them at about 130! Didn't even blink an eyelid, mind you we were the only 3 cars on it!!!
