i’ve always had problems with wales…

speeding fines are just another tax in this country and are cameras are a great revenue generator for the police.

Fair point. But considering the lack of safety barriers at rallies, it’s amazing more people don’t get killed when they are doing insane speeds.

I guess I just have problems with authority…

I don’t agree.

If they want a “shakedown” area, they should close the road, or find some nearby racetrack to do it. The WRC is a huge business and if they can’t afford to do things properly they should spend less money on hospitality and more on finding a way of shaking down their cars without using public roads.

It’s fair enough saying they’ve got great reactions and are skilled drivers with top cars etc (which i fully agree with), but what if they do kill someone because of their excessive speed? What would their excuse be then?

You can’t have a two-tier speed limit. Maybe they could tow caravans whilst doing their shakedowns.
