if perchance your heading for stranraer area,then sitting at 40 will mean 1 of 2 things…1…you will get a tug by plod as obviously you have something to hide,or 2.you will get done for speeding if your doing in excess of 43… obviously the boat traffic will have taken your mirrors off by this time,so its best to leave the window down to listen for the sirens …alternatively,sit off the limiter in excess of 60 and blend in…no worries. :wink:

Why would you head for Stranraer :question:

If you do more than 40 mph on that road you will be pulled & given a ticket or a nice letter that will come in the post for you to answer

Hmmm,have you actually travelled on the 75? Anyway , plod up here won,t huckle you if you sit at 45-48ish,personally I sit at 52 and had no bother. If you have Norfolkline fridge

on that’s another matter

44 in a 40 mph.■■? Did you?
ive been pulled and done for 44 mph going downhill on the 3 lane stretch heading south nust before Dumfries…so anything over 40 is fair game for them. to be fair,it was with nfl… :wink:

DD999 i usually agree wae ye but dumping the rubbish out the windae is out o order, does not bother the police on the 75 ,but for the poor council litter collectors that have to wander up and down the verges dodging p…h bottles its no their fault (most o them hate the police more than you :unamused: :laughing: ).

at least it keeps them in a full time job??..and it has to bother plod them when you leave a starry night where they like to hide with the guns.and no fun working in the old or new castle kennedy with a minging skidmark up the back of your hi viz… :smiley:

Aye,the police around here are sneaky ■■■■■■■,but judging by some of the rockets you see behind the wheel of paddy motors they are always kept busy,ie the other morning Sawyers man thinks he can pass SIX wagons goin up Twynholm (before the twin track part) and forces a timber wagon comin down the hill to slam on the brakes and swerve into the roadside or the Allingham Volvo that clearly needed to catch the boat VERY URGENTLY and passed me in the bends at Palnure and forced a car coming the other way into the grass ,I could go on but you get my drift,and as for throwing your gash out on the roadside,Its not big and its no clever :unamused:

well I only throw a wee bit out now and again when there ■■■■■■■ me off…will that do?? and if they just let us get on with it,then it wouldn’t be so bad,half the time your not watching the road cos your watching for plod… but theres always the devil may care mob that stretch it a bit…anytime I try to sit at 40 or anything like it,im up bouncing on the grass cos im bored sensless,its safer flatout watching for plod

In Scotland its 40 mph on all single carriageways except the A9.Most trucks do 50 when safe butyou could find yourself making a contribution :stuck_out_tongue: .I was pulled in Aberdeen and coughed up £50.00 for a width infringement on the old bridge of Dee in Aberdeen.The oil rice is down and Nicola does like a new well cut jacket so someone has to pay.

And yet there is no width limit on the carriageway. I was up there this week, chose to take the diversion as usual. In what way can they do you for using the bridge?

You must have missed the circular 7’0" width restriction sign 200 yards before the bridge and also the other one at the entrance then.
