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?

I think you should go to court and use that as your defence.

 

Too late now, I've sent them the ?60 fine. They can put it towards their christmas do, the tossers! Peed off that they didn't even offer for me to do the speed awareness course, they just gave me the straight 3 points!

Annoyed with yourself for driving through a red light?

Load of crap, tried it twice,quoted 2 different offences 1 in Cambride, 1 in Cornwall, not been anywhere near elther place in years, neither has my car.

 

Hook,line,etc.

Annoyed with yourself for driving through a red light?

being caught!

Right, I'll tell you all one more time my true story.

 

I got caught - 52 in a 30.

 

I genuinely sent my license in. 4 weeks passed and they asked why I hadn't sent it. I rang them - they said it must have got lost in the post and that to be sure I should send it registered post next time. I explained I had nothing to send since it had got lost somewhere in the system.

 

"OK," she says, "I'll put this on hold for now until you send us the new license".

 

"I take it you expect me to pay the ?30 for that then?"

 

"Yes"

 

Well, fuck 'em I thought, I'm not having another one go missing, so I never sent my new one and I never heard off them again. I think it must have dropped off their records after a few months.

 

Try it. It inadvetantly worked for me.

 

They are all cunt-trumpets.

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.

 

the camera part isnt always switched on, although the flash usually is, with the hope that the flash will slow you down, when the camera is on, the image doesnt need to be collected or reviewed, just number plate recognition into a computer program and letter printed and sent to the registered keeper.

 

once caused mayhem in manchester, putting up a set of temporary lights and just threw bags over the existing signals, our lights on green whilst under the bags the lights were on red so everyone who went through got flashed and a ticket. Mr popular i was when they had to refund all that, and not to mention the twatting the service layers nearly got each time it flashed.

Be very afraid of Lancashire cuntstabularies speed camera policy on allowances. Their cameras I believe are now set to Zero, as in, if you go past a tax camera at 31mph you get a ticket.

 

I got done through Chorley a few years back at 32mph. I tried to argue the fact that I thought they were incorrect as they should give 10% leeway plus 3mph but they counter chastised me with the fact that it is illegal to have a speedometer in your car which UNDER reads. Typically all car speedos OVERread (unless its super duper accurate which I doubt, even plod needs to have his calibrated speedo checked before he goes out funspoiling on the motorways), so you can reckon if it says you're doing 30 then in actual fact you're only going around 27-28mph. Check the satnav, I find that it usually agrees that you're going around 4-5mph slower than the speedo says.

 

There are various ways and means of getting away with it though if you want to spend time or money or both fighting your corner, but if your licence is pretty unmolested then I'd be tempted to cough up the ?60 and take the 3 points on the chin. Most insurance firms won't bat an eyelid - and buy yourself a camera detector for next time just in case!

Now, maybe it's me being a non-driver.

 

I can't help thinking most people who drive are thick as fcuk.

 

Rightly or wrongly there are speed limits in existance.

 

99% of the time your are aware of the speed limit whereever you maybe driving.

 

You are aware that you will get penalised for exceeding the limit, but you still do it!

 

Then you moan like old women about speeding fines and points on your licence?

 

The world according to Squidgy

Edited July 22, 200916 yr by squidgy66

No-one condones dicks doing 120 in a 70, or 60 in a 30, but to say that driving above the speed limit by default is always dangerous and therefore a criminal offence is bollocks. Unless it's a stupid speed you're at, a good driver a few mph over the limit is no danger to anybody - yet he's the criminal whereas a doddering prick all over the place but under the limit is practically patted on the back. And let's be honest - it's a fuckin tax at the end of the day.

That's like telling Jews in Nazi Germany 'well you will walk round with big noses won't you'

He's reet. My mother was doing 33mph on the new bypass & received a fine or to take the course. & that was only a few weeks back.

I was done about 3 years ago coming out of Blackpool centre heading back towards the M55. Opted for the course instead of points. Cost about ?80 which was similar to the fine, 8.30-5.00 lasted but with a decent lunch provided so made sure I got my fill.

 

You get 2 hours in the afternoon with an Advanced Level driving instructor which was quite interesting, but the rest of the time you do feel a bit like a naughty kid.

Traffic police are only traffic police because they're too soft to beat wimmin protestors up with their bats.

 

And those braking distances they set the speed limits to donkeys years ago - they were in the day when you had to stop the car with your feet.

 

Even my 2 tonne lump can stop in about 6 feet at 30mph.

 

Built up housing areas, near schools etc, twentys plenty, but taxing folk for doing 32mph on a wide open A road is a cunts trick for a cunts job.

It's not about speed but how you drive. As someone's said on here some dawdler doing a slow speed or masturbating at the wheel is as much a hazard.

 

Then again it's always those of us who've got done (speeding) that try to justify it. I got caught on camera on a quiet Sunday morning driving out of some village nr Northampton. Was doing 35 and got the offer of speed awareness course held at Northants Cricket Ground. Spend an hour or so looking at pictures of potholes and bin lorries and then sneaked into the nets and chucked down a few wides. Got a key ring too.

Gatso style cameras are being phased out in favour of SPECS type average speed cameras. it always seems to be folk doing 35mph who get caught and the really twattish drivers never get caught.

 

for me i'd reduce every estate road to 20mph (which oddly enough the police speed cameras can't catch people speeding at) and enforce it, main roads through towns and villages etc i'd have at 30mph, and every other road at 40mph+

but frank, even thats too simplified

 

time of day, weather, owt that changes the 'normal' conditions

 

folk are thick as fcuk and give it the 'well, the speed limit is 70 so i did it'

 

just as they're dragged out of the wreckage of their car on a fog bound 62

I'm sure i hear somewhere that in France they drop the speed limit 10mph when it rains

masturbating at the wheel is as much a hazard.

 

Its the only thing that helps me pass the time of day on long journeys

If you did it, pay it and take the points.

 

We are a nation of folk unwilling to take responsibility for themselves and their own actions.

 

If anyone was speeding and knocked my kids over meaning the difference between a few bruises and something serious id kick the living shit out of them.

 

There is a speed limit for reason. Stick to it.

 

And before i get all this stuff about dodgy camera/money making schemes etc thrown at me ( im aware of it all im far from stupid)

 

let me say again...if you KNOW you speed, take responsibility for yourself, its called, BEING GROWN UP.

Oh she's back! For any of the newbies, if you think I'm bad..........................

Are blind folk allowed to drive?
