Title: Done speeding
Post by: PhilNUK on April 06, 2014, 07:34:06 pm
I got flashed by a camera doing 38mph in a 30 a couple of weeks ago. I admitted to being the one driving.

Anyway I have done the speed awareness course 2 years ago so knew that wasn't an option.
Got a letter through saying 3 points and £100 fine!?

I always thought it was £60??

Has this changed? Seems ridiculous... Obviously I have no choice but to pay it but Christ I always thought it was £60

I thought it was £60.  Never been fined for speeding as I don't speed :evilgrin: I have been flashed by the cameras on the A64 near ASDA a few times but never fined :surprised:

Tut Tut what happened to forward observation  :signLOL:

You guys not got the speed camera database on your RNS?

I use mine to give an indication of the road ahead particularly if it's a new route  :evilgrin:

Worked a charm so far  :driver:

I have the latest database if needed  :happy2:

Agree you shouldn't be speeding in a 30.. But some 30's shouldn't be 30's and that's where you will usually find a speeding van.. Because they know they will have the speeding offences flocking.. barstewardss the lot if them

Steering with the kness... :driver: :rolleye:

Theres a road here thats in the countryside,which is an arrow straight four mile stretch with a scattering of houses built well off it and what did the local authority do?
Slapped a 40mph restriction on it!
I gues the locals got fed up of finding cars on thier lawns,wheels up,every day. :evilgrin:
