Well it is here, banged to rights. 28 years of clean licence on its way out.

Bloody scamera vans. I know I was in the area they operate from and usually check/brake on that particular hill. But that one day. When ever I see them, I let all other motorists know of the hazard ahead. Why did nobody return me the favour that day.

sry to hear that, are you sure it was you being caught on camera?

13-02-07, 01:03 PM

in fact demand a photo to prove it was you. or it can be your half brother living in hongkong taking it out for a ride.

Oh no..

Still, you havnt lost your lisence (have you?) so thats not so bad.

I thought I got caught a few weeks ago, but I was lucky; 33mph on a 40mph zone, but there where no signs so i thought it was a 30mph I got flashed in

and I was worried for a few days until i went back and checked the speed limit because if i got 3 points on my lisence, im half way to loosing it (new riders act, 6points in 2 years you have to resit tet blah blah)

Maybe you can argue it, I dunno

Sorry to hear mate, unfortunately its far too easy to get points these days. However did you know that letting other people of speed cameras and such like is more of a serious offence in its self and can have jail time attached to it...

Again sorry to hear

Something I've known for a while. I have always wondered how it would be taken if you were to ever say "What speed trap? I was just warning traffic coming the other way about drivers hitting their brakes hard!"

Why, isn't that why you warn the others in the first place?

Ah, that must be why the police stopped using them mobile speed camera signs then. Don't want to give us any chance of avoiding points now

Fraser - Not aimed at you btw, just the ones in London parked sideways next to a petrol station on the pavement I take offense at.
