There is a 1 mile stretch of road in Wishaw, which recently became a 20mph limit, set by the local authority. My mate was travelling down this road at 4.15am in the morning on his way to work, he was doing 27mph, not another car or pedestrian in sight (apart from the police). He received 3 penalty points and £60 fine on the spot. The police where there for one reason and one reason only, it sure had nothing to do with safety at that time in the morning !!! .. safety never has pi*sed me off, but instances like that make me sick.
