Speed Bumps Before Roundabouts?

The speed at which a number of motorists approach roundabouts is quite frightening. They seem to work on the hypothesis that the road is always clear; but unfortunately for them it is not. In the last few days I have been forced to brake hard on roundabouts; this was due to vehicles approaching from my left at speed; in most cases I was not certain they were going to stop in time. If we installed speed bumps; one vehicle length back from the roundabouts; approaching motorists would have to slow down. This would make it safer for all users and may even improve the flow rate; as motorists wouldn't be able to rush onto the roundabout. In general it makes sense to go back to our initial driving lessons and skills; driving a little more slowly and giving ourselves more braking time and distance.

Hand Held Cameras Being Used on the Heathrow Airport Perimeter Road

Recently on leaving Terminal 1 Heathrow Airport I used the perimeter road to get to the M25; on passing the new Terminal 5 I noticed a Metropolitan Police Car parked up; the driver was using a hand held speed camera to check speeds of vehicles. With rising costs in fuel prices; margins on travelling to the airports is being squeezed dramatically for taxi operators. It is vital that taxi drivers do not get caught in a speed trap if they are going to protect their profits; you've been warned.

Speed Cameras at Night on the M25

Driving home from the M25 the other day there were road works being done between the Leatherhead and Reigate junctions. The obligatory 50 mph speed limit was in place and the carriageway was reduced to two lanes. On one of the bridges was a camera set up to monitor vehicles in the overtaking lane; this was being operated by a police car. The assault on motorist's wallets is getting worse; no only do we have to contend with dearer fuel prices but government attempts to catch us speeding. The road works in question were on the bank to the left of the hard shoulder; I believe they are installing more information boards. The amount of protection afforded the work force meant it was perfectly safe to travel at the national speed limit of 70 mph. We seem to be blighted by Health and Safety every where we go; some good old common sense wouldn't go amiss.
