road trip – on speed limits and number plates
I’ve read that there is a road in London where anyone driving in the fast lane can go faster than the 40 mph speed limit. The road, incidentally, is Mile End Road as you travel towards M275 in Portsmouth City, Hampshire, UK’s only island city located on the southern coast of England. This problem is happening coz the location of the speed cameras can only cover the first three lanes of a four lane road. Well, it’s interesting to know that not all speed cameras can cover the entire road every time. In our case though, there are only two lanes as we hit the road from Pori to Turku so I think people can’t get away with speed limits, road legal number plates and highway cameras here.
Speaking of car number plates, in Finland, car plates contain three letters and three numbers separated with a dash. Then, starting 1 May 2001, all new vehicles were assigned EU license plates unless the owner opts for the old model plates. I suppose vanity plates are also allowed. By the way, if you want to order online, there is a good site to start your search. The 4Plates company in UK offers custom made number plates the way you want it to be in all acrylic plates ready in a day without documents required. Their number plates ranges from road legal car and motorbike registration license plates, bike number plates, show number plates for vehicles that are not meant for road use but for showing only, and novelty and fun number plates for your distinctive style. This company can also supply number plates for sports cars, HGVs, and all sorts of vehicles, even odd shaped plates. In fact, you can order here any sort of number plate you want.
So for your road trip, mind your speed limit and make sure your car plate number is legal for a smooth travel. You don’t want the highway police running after you.
