You go from 110km/h to 50km/h as you pass through at least 10 towns.. Hella annoying!

And I dont beleive the F3 ever had a Point to Point camera, it was much further North.And driving at 10 over is a fair guide, unless its pissing down in a school zone.I.B.

One camera is the normal flash for cash and the other one is a rain sensing camera for the change in speed zones for the hilly bit for when it rains.I.B.
