Caught by a camera in the car

Got flashed by a fixed camera in Northampton, when I looked down my speedo indicated approx 40 mph.

Just kept my speed up off a mini roundabout when the limit goes from 40 to a 30 downhill, turned to look at a mate to say something, before I remembered it was too late. Looked down, THINK it said about 40 mph.

Boss just said, lets hope it was no higher than 40.

Can't remember the legalities, so...Am I going to jail?

Probably - not for any speed related offences but quite possibly for groping Simon at Hell pizza last week.

Oh dear, it gets worse, I don't remember anyone called Simon

I meant Paul. God, I am losing the plot. Was on the phone to Simon when I sent this. Blame the vast quantities of Codeine I had for breakfast and the fact it is Monday morning.

I just got done for 60 in a 30 (I know but it wasn't as bad as it sounds) and got 6 points without having to appear in court.
At 40 in a 30 you will probably get 3 points and £60 or maybe a speed awareness course, if you do that it costs £100odd but you don't get points.

Sweeeeeet, thanks shifter.

I'm normally real good in the car, this was a lapse in concentration but unexcusable.

It's okay, the men in white coats are on the way

You will probably be fine mate. You might not get anything at all. Just keep your fingers crossed.

And here is the speed camera photo of Plowsie (and his stunt double)

I think it was down to the squeeky clean licence from day 1 (not so much as a parking ticket) and the fact I've never had an accident.
Plus I held my hand up completly and didn't give them a big sob story they've heard 1000 times before.
