Those who wish to race or otherwise be stupid will do so regardless of the speed limit.

They always have speed traps on there during the lead up and directly after TT Races and always catch more locals than visiting bikers.

It may be a different incident, but wasn't the driver of the car that caused the accident drunk? No speed limit can account for selfish twats who get behind a wheel after they've been drinking.

I drove home from work yestrday morning and when coming onto the bypass at Heysham the signs said 50 mph I got to the first roundabout and there was no change in the speed limit, I then travelled to the next roundabout where you can take the back lanes to Middleton an Overton, As I were continuing onto the stretch of bypass heading towards Wickes I am sure I saw a sign which displayed 60 mph (shall be checking on my way home in an hour or so)
Once I got to the wickes roundabout the speed limit was reduced to 40 mph all the way to mcdonalds, where it drops to 30 mph
so it seems it is just the middle section which has increased.
I will have to double check later this morning, forgive me if I have got it wrong.
