50MPH Limit Scam spreading throughout the UK. We need to act!

Hi All

We live in the fairly laid back county of Oxfordshire and this Sunday, had our first run out for the year to Stratford on Avon, who for anyone that knows is a great and classy bikers meeting place. However, watch out if you park on the newly rebuilt waterfront, as apparantly they take pics of the bikes parked on there and then very kindly post you a parking ticket for £70! BarStewards or what?

Anyway, on our quite quick round trip of about sixty miles, we were all quite upset to see that Warwickshire Council has been busy over the winter and has implemented 50 MPH limits all over the county! These are on fine large dual carriageways and on most of the main A roads we went on.

Becoming more and more frustrated with the slow pace of the traffic flow and mulling over why they had made this pathetic decision, I suddenly had a Eureka moment! No I didn't run down the Fosse Way naked, I just suddenly realised why this has been done, as get this, now every vehicle, including Trucks, Vans, Buses, Volvos towing Caravans, Honda 90's etc, apart from restricted 50's, can now all be nicked by Greed Cameras, with average speed cameras being fazed in as soon as possible, according to reports in MCN.

This is terrible and it spoiled part of the day.

On my return, I looked on the web and came up with the fact that Warwickshire Council ignored Police advice, who were opposed to the lowering of the National Speed Limit and just went ahead and did it anyway.

How do we complain about this unfair Warwickshire decision and of the totally unreasonable proposed 220,000 miles of UK roads that will have a 50 MPH limit, enforced by thousands of average speed camers! This will be the end of biking for fun in the UK?

Protest? You bet, where do I sign?

Cheers

Chris
