If the speed limit is 30 and the number on your speedo starts with a '4', you're going too fast.....

RP13 - A505, Baldock. The driver of this vehicle was recorded at 117mph, with the excuse being they didn't think it was that fast. Needless to say this is completely unacceptable! Driver reported and will await their day in court. 412987 412989 @NthHertsPolice #fatal4 #speedkills pic.twitter.com/Pyswrjh9pE

Andrew Ralph, who has been a Speed Watch volunteer in Shillington since 2019, said: “We launched Speed Watch last year in the Spring. I canvassed support locally and got together a crew of six volunteers and we’ve since added a further two members. The whole reason for doing Speed Watch was to encourage drivers to slow down, rather than catch people speeding and to make our roads safer.”¹The Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service pointed out that between 1 November 2019 to 31 October 2020, crews attended 386 road traffic collisions across Bedfordshire. Over 10% of these happened on the A507.
