It won't belong before there is a Radar Trap unless they put in hidden Cameras which they are apt to do.

It's a bit bizarre to lower it to 50 on a duel carriageway. That alone will probably cause accidents or at least road rage with the drivers that like to sit right on your rear bumper. So it's not speed that will kill on this road but boredom or old age while you wait to reach your destination. I think i'll sell my car and get a horse instead as it'll be quicker.

We drove along there this morning at 60....I know we were breaking the limit. But no one sat behind us. Every car overtook us including a Policia Local car, and he didn't look like he was rushing to the scene of an incident.

I know it often seems that the drivers are having a bit of road rage and look like it wouldn't take long to get out with pistols or swords drawn but I should point out it's a dual carriageway.

There has been lots of accidents on this stretch of road plus it was being used like a race track.

I went to Nederland 3 years ago. I was surprise how speed limits were low compared with Spain.

In a 5 line highway I was driving on 3º on the limit and NOONE overtook me with the car. At some point I was driving 104km/h in a 100km/h limited road and they sent me a ticket to Spain.

I got 4 tickets in my live in Spain and i dont blain Police because it was my fault always.

Speed limits are not to take money, it is about safty.

Pity the police weren't there this lunchtime, Motor bikers using it as a Race track, at speeds well over 100mph
and you can hear them from afar.........
