Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
I was driving back from the Tesco filling station to Wilmslow this evening, prior to the football game and I have never seen such fast driving on a public road. Incidentally I've been an accredited motor sports photographer for many years, so I have a general awareness of how fast things are travelling.
Average speed cameras are desperately needed.
For some (and IMHO they are irresponsible idiots) it's a racetrack and in particular, the single carriageway section by-passing Alderley Edge has seen a number of fatal accidents. The National Speed limit (70mph) just isn't enough for some people and with 6 roundabouts along the dual carriage section there isn't even a single mile stretch of uniterrupted roadway.
Pete Taylor has pointed out the solution - speed averaging cameras. I abhor the damn things but there is no other way to stop the increasing assault on our lives of excess speed and noise.
