This block and the next two are weird. It's a zone of high speeds and lane changing. People are trying to get ahead of each other because the street changes from three to two lanes before the viaduct. Well, actually there are 5 lanes under the viaduct, but one turns right, and two are for buses only. All bicyclists seem to naturally take the secondary bus lane.
Also, the taxi drivers race everyone to turn right onto southbound Clinton.
I dislike when bike lanes end :( I think it would be ideal if the bike lane went through the viaduct and up the hill and end at the bridge over the Chicago river.
Perhaps this selfish idiot is now part of another shocking statistic!
The driver of this vehicle overtook me as I did exactly 50mph in a 50mph roadwork zone, monitored by average speed cameras. I would estimate that it was travelling at around 55-60mph.

Background information:
A section of long-term roadworks on the motorway with a 50mph speed restriction in force and monitored by average speed cameras. Due to the hard shoulder and part of lane 1 being blocked off, the three running lanes have all been narrowed, and there is only a couple of feet (c. 60cm) between vehicles travelling side-by-side.
Like myself, the majority of drivers observe the 50mph speed limit, which is in force in order to help ensure the safety of road users and workmen alike, as with vehicles travelling so close to each other there is an increased risk of collisions.
However, there are always a few (quite a few, it seems) drivers who regard the rules of the road as applying to everyone but them. These ignorant drivers travel through the restricted area in excess of the legally enforceable speed limit and in spite of the fact that their law-breaking is being measured and captured by the cameras. Do they really think that they will escape unpunished? Or are they displaying false registration plates, so they know they will not be held accountable for their inconsiderate and anti-social driving?
So I hereby present photographic identification of vehicles that passed me today as I drove along the restricted section of motorway at exactly 50mph (cruise control active). Thus, by default, each of these drivers was exceeding the legal speed limit and as such breaking the law.
Note: Images were captured using a camera fixed to the dashboard of my car and activated by way of a remote control unit attached to my steering wheel, thus allowing me to activate the camera without removing my eyes from the road ahead. The camera was configured to capture a wide field of vision, and images were cropped afterwards to centralise the relevant vehicles.

The main ferries in Brisbane are catamarans called “City Cats”. Smaller boats are used for short cross-river hops; these are also catamarans, called “Kitty Cats”. Here is Eleanor working between Riverside and Holman Street Piers.

This is a continuous shot with 16 frames per second. This is shot in ECR Road. Assuming that the car is travelling at 80 kms per hour, the car would travel 22.22 Metres per second
Not sure if this driver owned this car or if he was renting it for a day, but he clearly didn't know what he was doing. He spent a while sitting at a corner trying to read a map and figure out how to get out of the heart of the tourist section. Gave me enough time to change my camera settings and show him "speeding" through the streets (although he was only going about 5 mph).

Overtaking in excess of 50mph in a 50mph limit.

I was practising panning, and this is the best result...at least there is an illusion of speed, and the front of it is just about in focus!
This was taken in Helsinki, near Pasila station.
I lost a batch of original files a while back to a hard drive crash. This is part of that, and all I have left of the file - a smaller version copy.
The Snowy Range is visible in the background with snow holding on through the end of summer in early September.

Callum Black and Paul Wakely exit a hairpin bend in their ZR in Grizedale Forest on the Malcolm Wilson Rally.
The 2010 Malcolm Wilson Rally took place over seven forest stages in Whinlatter and Grizedale.
A field of more than 100 cars took part in the rall, which was based out of Cockermouth, a town hit badly by the winter floods in Cumbria.
There were two stages in Grizedale Forest, along the same tracks used for the Grizedale Stages Rally three months earlier.
