    Coming through Marlborough towards Hungerford 7am this morning Police were doing random stops. Not sure if they were doing random breath tests, it is that time of year though.

    I also found out this week that sometimes the average speed checks on the motorway do work ! £100 and 3 points. I had to renew my bike policy today and my insurance company said they weren't interested in SP30's, bonus !! £30 cheaper premium than last year.

    Avg speed cameras do work, but not if they're front facing and on the bike, more and more are rear facing these days though

    I went through that section on the way up to Stonehouse for the Santa ride. As Mitch mentioned, they all looked to be pointing south.

    P.S. Loads of road works are being removed over the hols.

    The M3 ones from 4-5 'ish, and that ends at Fleet, are rear facing, PIA on the bike.

    Always take it easy going through these, as im passing loads on a day to day basis and its too easy to get caught out. I thought that motorway convictions started with sp50 ? I got caught by a patrol car, and this is the code I received.

    Sp30 is normal road, sp50 is motorway, btw you don't always get a ban over a ton, i got pulled 109 on bike, no ban, plenty of fines though.
