crowd barriers?

I agree that the Police offer a valuable service at Glastonbury and have to be there. I just wish they could have some limits. I really don't want to see Police wandering through the campsites first thing in the morning or up at the stones. Punters need some space and not be watched big brother style 24/7. Walk the main pathways, if there's a problem then I will give you a whistle and you can come running. You are after all public servants, I am the public thus you are my servants. So wind yer necks in and act the part.

Sorry turned into a rant which I didn't expect.. I must look like a dodgy type because I seem to get searched all the time and it does my head in.

90 on a dry day, I'd be surprised to get stopped.

100 -- in my opinion that's too fast, and one should expect a fine.

... and as you say, if you don't have cruise, you aim for 90, and your car is powerful, it's easy to drift up to 100 without noticing; so be careful and don't do that.

Ha, I wish it was powerful. It's a 1.2 litre Fiat 500 but it still does 100 no sweat if i'm not careful.

I was actually lucky in that i'd drifted up to over 100 and it was only blind luck that an oncoming car flashing it's lights made me check my speed. By the time i'd hit the speed trap i'd slowed to around 90.

I must point out that i'm not a fast driver and wouldn't knowingly break the limits on purpose but some people should realise that in many modern cars it's so easy to creep up that extra 15/20 mph without even realising.

One point that was well made earlier in the thread is that it's safer to drive a little faster unwittingly than spend half your time distracted by obsessing over the reading on your speedo.
