should this affect us truckers ? 50 is the limit on a DC anyway for us ain’t it 
Tin Hat is suitably placed atop me bonce 
Yes but I’ve noticed that people seem to drive at 45 in the existing 50mph bit and then speed up when a lorry overtakes. More crap ideas from Oxford County Council.

I’ve noticed this, but my theory is a simple one, most speedos are set around 5mph faster than actual speed, so numpty car looks and thinks he/she is doing 50mph, when in reality it’s closer to 45, then we pass them, they dont look at speedo, just put foot harder on the pedal, so we have to pull back in, dosey car driver looks at speedo, sees it reading 55 and promptly slows down

Totaly agree.
I think perhaps a zebra crossing next for the badgers off s******g up Wytham Hill; they closed ■■■■■■ Hill last year near where Timbmets yard was to install badger tunnels and to a bit of taarmac that the ■■■■■■ could’ve laid faster…
