    What are you calling the speed lane ?

    There is no such definition on any road
    On motorway usually right lane its for overtaking only. I call that speed lane
    All lanes except the leftmost (lane 1) are for overtaking only.

    You may call one the "speed lane", but nobody else does. That sort of defeats the purpose of language as a means of communication.

    The best way of describing the lanes to avoid confusion is to follow the police 's example: Lane 1, Lane 2, etc.

    How fast was the car you overtook going then?
    He had almost same speed like me and after we reduced speed at passing the gantry he was a bit slover . I put my speed cruise at 53 because i know really speed its 50. I pass him slow and after restriction lifted he never reach me again

    Maybe English isn't the OP's first language?

    Is this the speed camera? Circled in blue. It’s on the M62 Westbound between J12 and J11?




    If so, the camera that take the picture of the speed limits displayed on the gantry are set well before the gantry ( circled in red)

    The photos also show why are motorways are clogged up 

    By hogging the overtaking lanes and not getting over to the left

    Don’t you mean hogging lanes 2 and 3 and getting back to lane 1 😉

    but yes - 100% agree.

    I received letter to ignore conditional offer and if i paid any money it will be refunded. Now looking back i don't feel happy about this. How many night i loose thinking and how much stress. About those pictures judging now i feel like an idiot. I know i reduced the speed at that gantry because i see braking lights on in their picture but i didn't notice the fact that gantry had no chance to measure my speed being 72 mph simply because an audi 1.6 engine automatic had no way to accelerate from 50 to 72 that fast for that camera.And no one here notice this fact. This its final post in this story
