Site Supporter barryk32 Posted July 21, 2009 Site Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'm sure someone put on here once how to get away with it. My car has been clocked doing 36 in a 30 and they want the drivers details. Anyone know of any loopholes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Firthy Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Drive your car to some waste ground and set it on fire, then phone the police and tell them it was stolen on the day before it was clocked doing 36 in a 30, but you haven't reported it until now because you've had swine flu.

Moderators Casino Posted July 21, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2009 i know folk who advised me to do this, but obviously i haven't done it nor could i condone it and obviously it would be a very very naughty thing to do say you don't know who was driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant just turn up in court and say you dont know who was driving your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balls Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'm with Casino & Th'AA on this one: The single most important piece of advice in dealing with a 'ticket' though is: "Don't ignore it. Failure to respond means higher penalties, and at worst a visit from the bailiffs or a Court summons. The penalty won't go away." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athywhite1958 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Unlucky mate, I'm sure there is a 10% allowance for calibration of speedo, and Gatso, summat like that, which means you are being done for driving at 32.4 MPH, I got done at 35 in Lancaster which - the 10% equated to 31.5 MPH. C?nts the lot of 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C?nts the lot of 'em The 10% tolerance is added to the speed limit, so that you won't get prosecuted for anyhting under 33 in a 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Tate Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 But they still flash if you're over the limit yet within the 10% don't they? Why don't they just set them to flash if you go over the 10%? Stupid cunts. I got flashed in a works car the other day on the A1 south of Edinburgh, didn't even see the fuckin thing because I was overtaking two wagons, touch and go whether I was over 77mph. Suppose I'll find out soon enough if I wasn't. Damn this rotten country to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgywheel Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Many years ago i heard that if you send a cheque for a penny more than the fine, you will recieve a cheque back for the penny, if you never cash the cheque they won't put the points on your licence because there are still monies outstanding, not sure how true that can be though.

magic legs Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I thought it was 10% plus 2 on all speed limits, i.e. in a 30 zone the cameras would be calibrated to flash cars doing 35 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Firthy Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) There's a table of typical enforcement speeds about half-way down this page: http://www.speedcamerasinfo.co.uk/2.html Basically, it's; 35 in a 30 46 in a 40 57 in a 50 68 in a 60 79 in a 70 Edited July 21, 2009 by Firthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyRiddle Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Has anyone ever been done on one of those average speed cameras that seem to be popping up everywhere.? As everytime I am mooching through at the speed limit, someone always comes flying past as if they know something I don't? The whole thing seems too ambigious to ever be tested in court, so was wondering if they just do it for effect knowing most people will reduce their speed??

athywhite1958 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 they also flash even if there's no film in the camera They're digital and hold something like 6,000 photo's, so I'm told, then someone has to review them, I would imagine the speeders or red light jumpers will be highlighted somehow.
