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? |

Re: Caught by a camera in the car
Probably - not for any speed related offences but quite possibly for groping Simon at Hell pizza last week.

Re: Caught by a camera in the car
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.

Re: Caught by a camera in the car
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. |

Re: Caught by a camera in the car
You will probably be fine mate. You might not get anything at all. Just keep your fingers crossed.
