Someone I know
drove from Harrow to Plymouth on Christmas Day morning leaving at 6:00 am and arriving at 08:45am - including a stop for petrol / toilet. Its amazing what you can do when there's no traffic....
And no traffic cops!!
I’m assuming using the M4/M5, 231 miles Harrow to Plymouth?
An average of over 84 mph. If you knock off say 10 minutes for petrol/toilet break, then that rises to almost 90 mph!!
As a retired traffic cop I love making all these calculations!!
I know, I know - the accusations of being a grumpy old git are quite true.
I can’t help loving my time enforcing the speed limits 30 years ago. It was certainly more satisfying than dealing with the tragic aftermath of fatal accidents involving excess speed.
I’m off now to watch some freshly painted walls dry 😩😩
