Have heard there are mobile speed detectors and cameras on the A20,before the M25 junction, so all those coming from Sidcup, Chis or Bromley to the Rose and Crown on Monday be alert. Not that myself, or any of you good people would dream of breaking the NSL on that wonderful stretch of dual carriageway oh no no no no. Thought I would let you know just so you can polish your cars so that they look their best. Its the least you can do if the BIB are kind enough to take your picture. Dont forget to smile.

How thoughtful of them.

I assume this is a veritable 'road of death?'

It is actually difficult to go too fast along there as the road surface is so bad,,,I have tried driving on the inside lane,but conditions are so bad I find little choice but to be a numpty middle lane user.

I was out 7a.m. on Sunday doing a blast into Kent and E.Sussex. As I was going out, there was what looked like a Peugeot 306 upside down in the middle lane of the London bound carriageway. Not sure what he did to get into this position, but he must have tried very hard given there was virtually no traffic out.

I suspect the cameras are there as a reaction to this - they seem to use this tactic soon after a major incident.
