king mongs!I'm doing J2 - 11 in the morning and it's failrly easy as I mentioned, I do J11- 3 on the way home and the amopunt of mongs is unreal, last week there was a white 13 plate Civic, middle lane at a constant 60mph! he just sat there oblivious to the other vehicles undertaking/overtaking him.
Oh and I still haven't spotted any of you, where are all your stickered up cars?!

I do J2 - 9 in the morning and back in the afternoon, and it can be frustrating, especially the seeming lack of ability to do 50 in the 50 avg speed zone, its always around 40, ffs. Then again, the carriageway going the other way is often ground to a halt, so it could be worse.
Did the return leg at around 18:30 one day and very good progress was made

I go from Junct 11 to Ringwood every morning at around 0650 and back leaving Ringwood around 1600. Either in a green Octavia VRs (** VRS) with smiley on the right hand side on the back of the boot or in a Onyx Black DP9 coupe (** 07 SPY) with a smiley just above the tax disc.
A friend from 'Up North' told me that the average speed cameras were fake as there was no gap between the bottom of the big yellow pole and the concrete block, therefore no wires leading from the camera to the terminal. He said that real 'active' cameras had the concrete block installed first with the connecting wires coming up through the middle. When the long pole with cameras is attached to the concrete block there is always a gap of around 1 to 2 inches where the wires have been connected.
Does anyone know of anyone that has received a speeding fine?????

If you think the M27 is bad try the A31.
Aaaaargh, half the drivers stay in the outside lane and the inside lane could be empty for half a mile or so. It is so frustrating with the traffic in the outside lane tarvelling at 60mph. I used to drive faster but it is quicker to go at just under 70 mph and use the empty inside lane.

Yep, a dumbarse chum of mine has been caught at 58.

Eastbound Cameras switched off this afternoon when I went through, cones still there though. Did notice the traffic backing up Hedge End to Eastleigh westbound this morning worse than when the roadworks were there - could be coincidence I suppose.
Possibly. I live in Whiteley, and feel it has generally flowed slightly better with the 50 limit in place.I use the M25 past Heathrow from time to time with the 50mph limit in operation and the traffic seems to flow quite well. Why can't this be installed on the M27 which must be one of the busiest and slowest motorways in the country, especially around rush hour time. Instead, all we get is money spent on huge signs that tell us to think bike, don't go to sleep while you're driving, the A9 is shut (what?) it's five minutes to the next junction etc. Highways Authority and commonsense?.....oxymoron alert.

Driving West in the morning there is a big sign that says "2 Hours to M5/Exeter" literally 200 yards further on is says "2 hours 10 minutes to M5/Exeter". Every morning irrespective of traffic flow.I do notice a big difference when they remind people to 'Keep Left - Do not hog the middle lane'. This should be on all of them all of the time unless they have something interesting to say like 'Speed camera 1 mile ahead'.
