I think your judgement of drivers is coloured by the fact that you live in a county of rural roads occupied by farming types who drive trackers during the week and Audi A1 to 3 at weekend who will insist in trying to stuff them into the ditches either side of the roads whilst thinking they are rally drivers. Yours is the only county that has ambulance crews and paramedics parked up in lay-bys waiting for the Audis to go nose in the sludge!Every journey is an education in how cr@p drivers are so I'd need many many many lessons to be taught the whole textbook
Alas I'm a newby to the turnip fields of Lincolnshire and the predictably unpredicatable drivers are everywhere I've lived and worked. Saying that it was a Merc that took out our electrics when it went ploughing into a field a few weeks ago. There was also a Toyota hatchback in another field so not only zee German car owners have ambition beyond talent.I think your judgement of drivers is coloured by the fact that you live in a county of rural roads occupied by farming types who drive trackers during the week and Audi A1 to 3 at weekend who will insist in trying to stuff them into the ditches either side of the roads whilst thinking they are rally drivers.

It’s not like that in most counties and rest assured the drivers subscribing to MHF are all impeccable courteous drivers who have studied the Highway Code back to front

Yes, used it yesterday, still quicker than Oulton Park race track. It's my opinion that most driving on the A30 had IQ less than 10.Then there is the new a30 fully opened now….
You can now drive from Camborne to Carlisle without going on a single carriageway ….
You could go by train any day except a Wednesday.You can now drive from Camborne to Carlisle without going on a single carriageway ….
It does not say that at all.According to this report the road is a "accident black spot".

The headline, relating to the newly switched on cameras in the tunnel has NOTHING to do with the body of the article.According to this report the road is a "accident black spot".

Yip, our roving Funter journalist community are much more accurate with their reports particularly those involving alcohol consumption!Derek Emmit is correct from what I can see and know of the area. I would rather believe him than a local paper that takes and publishes a lot of 'news' straight from press releases without a moments thought!
Do what the press journalists do, invent the data!...I have very little data on their skills in the other department.

That's ok as long as it's clear what the limit is. I drove many miles for work and know how easy it can be to miss a sign, especially in a new area when looking to find a route. I consider myself very lucky to have not got a ticket, some years I drove 40,000 miles. Mostly due to paying attention, but sometimes down to luck.I always use a tried and trusted method in the Motorhome to avoid cameras and fines, I just don’t speed.
I am on holiday, I cruise at whatever the law tells me I can.
Purely as a matter of interest , how do you know there has never been an accident in that tunnel?I repeat, for the hard of comprehension.
In 36yrs, there has never been an accident in the tunnel.
My understanding is the cameras in the Tunnel only monitored speed since they were installed. No fines have ever been issued for anyone speeding.There are various ways a vehicle can get to Cornwall.
One of them is via the A38, crossing the mighty Tamar via the bridge.
In 1988 a tunnel was opened at the Saltash end of the bridge allowing traffic to circumvent Saltash.
I'm putting the next bit in caps.
THERE HAVE BEEN NO VEHICULAR ACCIDENTS IN THAT TUNNEL FROM DAY 1. in 1988
Despite this, the Highways Authority have switched on the speed cameras that were installed some time ago but never put them in 'live' mode.
In addition to this, the dual carriageway at the far end of the tunnel has been reduced from National speed limit to 50mph.
Thus it can be categorically stated that the phrase 'Safety' cameras is a misnomer for 'Cash Cows'
After all, how can the authorities claim that the cameras are there for safety reasons when there has NOT been an accident where they have installed the cameras EVER!

Mind you, it was better than the M4 which was shut!!!I wasn’t on it yesterday so that doesn’t apply to me, but apparently you were on it….

It is difficult, I have the sat nav on permanently now for that reason.That's ok as long as it's clear what the limit is.

I take it you've looked on Google.Purely as a matter of interest , how do you know there has never been an accident in that tunnel?
Does that include non reported accidents?
No I haven't googled and don't even know the tunnel .I take it you've looked on Google.
There are no reports on there.
YOU CAN BE ASSURED, had there been any collision which resulted in vehicles coming to a halt then ;
1. The traffic for miles around would come to a grinding halt.
2. It would make the TV News.
3. It would therefore make it onto Google.
Just the action of changing the middle lane direction causes meyhem with the queues on the Plymouth side sometimes reaching the other side of the city.

No I haven't googled and don't even know the tunnel .
I only asked because you were so absolutely sure there had been no collision in the tunnel since 1988 and I just wondered how you knew for sure
Btw Google didn't kick off for at least another 10 years after the tunnel opened.
I live in East Anglia but with family in Mevagissey, St Austell and now Penzance area's must have been through the tunnel a few hundred times and have never seen an incident. Used to queue occasionally travelling Eastbound, in the very early days before the tolls were simplified, but have never seen as much as a gentle knock. I suspect Ejaydee has been through many more times than I, and has never mentioned a problem there. I'll let him post his thoughts if he wants to.
