Yeah 70mph, if it was 60 or 50 it would be posted as so

i thought that,when i was coming back from aberdeen today i passed 2 very well hidden police traps (grampian police hide and seek champions no doubt)
passed both under 70 but i was over 60 enough to get caught out.
and i was definatly doing 50 in the 50 zone.
between watching for traps like that and watching for the next speed camera (which there are plenty of) and keeping my eye on the speedo im surprized i managed to actually watch the road.

Perhaps you need to go and take some lessons seeing as you've obviously forgotten what you were taught as a learner regarding checking your speedo.

And as you don't know what the speed limit is for a NSL D/C, you're just confirming the need.

i should have put in my original post that conor need NOT reply to this.

i knew this would be your typical answer,maybe you should think up some new replies.

I was 99% sure it was 70,but a few people have since mentioned 60,i was only looking for a little bit of reassurance,thats all.
i'll tell the folk who told me it was 60 that conor on MSE says you need to go and take lessons again,im sure they will listen.:rotfl:

Actual answer depends on what you are driving.

In a car it's 70mph. I use a dual carriageway every day and it's obvious many drivers don't have a clue what the limit is.
