the NIP arrived

Tim, definitely ask for the photo. If nothing else you'll end up with a souvenir for your 60 quid.

Not a fan of this automated justice directed at motorists. Can't we go back to getting a condescending chat from an actual police officer to go with the fine and points?

Bad news.I just hate this surveillance society we have become.

Whenever I flash my lights, all it means is I'm alerting people to my presence without using my horn, as per the highway code.

28 years? You should be ashamed of yourself Tim, I mean pootling about for twenty... eight... years... About time you gave it some welly — and now my son, you're a real man. .

Actually, I am very lucky to have got away with it for so long. A number of police officers have had a word with me. But these damm camera people have no discretion. The must delight in catching people and fining rather than educating people in the errors of their ways.

What annoys me about the spot where I was caught is a friends family was badly injured there because somebody saw a static camera, braked and lost control hitting them. I saw the camera van and did not think I was more than a couple of mph over the limit so did not bother to brake etc. To be honest I have been down that hill faster on a pushbike than I was actually traveling that day.
