Thanks, commerdriver. Personally I haven't been on the A303 since I was done for speeding on it near Yeovil, I think, back in about 1994. On that occasion I went over some sort of rumble strip and a mile down the road I could see this copper in the middle of the road waving his arms at me.
He was very polite, told me that I was probably a very good driver and that the car was no doubt very safe at that speed but they'd had a lot of trouble with farmers pulling out onto the road in their tractors and cars bashing into them. And then he said, almost apologetically "And it is for that reason I am going to give you a ticket" (and you thought my logic was flawed).
Anyway, I digress. The (sort of) point is that I stuck to the speed limits for the rest of that journey and some time after. I probably wouldn't have done if it had been a hidden camera.
And I've made a point of depriving Yeovil of my tourist dollar ever since too!
