Variable speed Limits

I got flashed by the cameras in the VSR zone when the VSR was not in force ... that was a few weeks ago, and nothing is through yet ...

the current film cameras on them25 and 42 are set to 90 when normal and i belive +10 when in VSR mode

when they go digital some time next year this will be reduced to +10% with the option of switching to +0%

Slightly off topic but if there is one thing that drives me mad is those ''11 mins to J8'' etc distracting idiot signs appearing on motorways. Particularly stupid as you are slowing down to join the back of a queue and more than one person has said they see them as a challenge to beat the time. Why do they do it??
