speeding fine

[Big Tone]

I will have to acquiesce to you there as it wasn’t something I personally researched. I may also have taken it out of context because, from memory, I think the question I asked was in relation to situations where the cameras are in close proximity or quick succession.

I wouldn’t expect a ‘ping’ on the A38 north of Birmingham to be the same as a ‘ping’ on the south side. So I stand corrected on that thanks snico.

I suspect Jimmy10 used a little artistic licence there, since we don’t know what “the whole way” meant in the case he cites. Most probably not in quick succession though otherwise he, his missus, would have had a case..

i have never agreed speed cameras are a safety device they are a money maker, the best safety device on the road is a visible police car with its nose just visible, not a speed camera or an unmarked police car, but it doesnt take away from the fact all the speed cameras and unmarked cars will never catch my mum speeding, cause she never speeds

this post is going way off track here, lets remember public enemy No1 asked a question and got pelters, especially when someone dug up his own comments about speeders injuring his own family, so lets stick to topic and give Joe as much pelters as possible

i agree, but in these times of speed cameras be careful your luck doesnt run out soon

That she knows of, or you have personally witnessed?

If the later then I'm affriad she is probably one of those who frustrate others who want to stick as much to the limits because they have a job and time matters. (I don't mean that offensively so please don't take it that way).

They can and do often create frustration which can lead to accidents. For myself, if someone is doing the speed limit am never up their backside. But have to cover a lot of miles in my job and the very last thing I need on a 100 mile journey is someone dithering well below the limit unless, as I keep saying, it's because there is a potentially dangerous situation ahead.

My friends dad always said the same as your mum, until he received a NIP one day. Truth is he uses glasses to drive which don't work as reading glasses, so he doesn't even know what speed he is doing because he canot focus on the speedo. (Old folk don't 'do' varifocals).

But he's never had an offence or accident in his life, (he's 83 now), until some time ago and I can tell you he took it very much to heart.

(Sorry about the misquote BTW. The URL on this site works differently to others and the ensuing faff threw me off, but I hope my meaning shone through)

Sorry for the topic drift although it is/was related and there was a lot of 'Speed Kills' with no evidence except the 'just swallow it' Government & SCP party line.

Regarding the two offences on the same road,,, Years ago (around 1983/4) I was on my way to get a puncture repaired. The spare tyre was just below the legal limit. I got pulled by the rozzers for a spot check and they asked where I was going. As I explained I was on my way to an ATS depot for a puncture repair, the PC had a look at all of the road tyres on my car and spotted the one that was just below the limit. After cautioning me and writing out a court summons, he let me go on my way. (I had all of 1/2 - 3/4 mile to go)
Within sight of the tyre depot, I was pulled by a second police car, The copper got out and walking to the front of the vehicle said " That tyre looks worn and illegal to me." (before he even got to the front !!!).
I showed him the ticket I had got less than 7 minutes before and he issued me with another one .
When it went to court the magistrates were amazed that I had been pulled twice within such a short time and distance and only fined me £30 with one endorsement on my licence. (they could technically have done me twice) They believed I had only committed one offence, and so only fined me for one offence.

Look you dizzy dullard. She didn't realise she was speeding and simply slowed down too slowly. There have been no follow up tickets so it's just an isolated incident. 37 in a 30 zone on one occasion? Didn't you say you'd been booked EIGHT times??? FFS - I think we can all see who the real ****** is eh? (Masona got in the way)

no you listen up f**k face the dizzy bint either admitted she was speeding all week or didnt know, hence your post about what was going to happen to her, that shows a distinct lack of brains/common sense awareness.

yes i have been done 7-8 times cant remember, over a period of 32 years, driving motor bikes, cars and vans. no excuse for it and i'm not trying to justify it, but what is worse, on a motorbike, 79 on the motorway, 3am virtually no other traffic, 60? in a 60 etc or a dozy bint not knowing how often she speeds into a village, as someone else has posted speeding itself is less dangerous than reckless or dangerous driving, where the actual situation can make some numbers less relevant. i know someone who was done at 58 in a 50 through a restriction on the motorway who was ordered to appear in court, he was fined £100 with 6 points due to the danger he caused to the workies (and so he should) but at least he knew he had done it

Look dummy - it took you EIGHT goes to get the message. That's EIGHT!! FFS - what a ******. EIGHT!!!

And when the cameras get taken down you'll no-doubt be back to your old ways eh? Worra Plonka.

You`re lucky they even bothered to get out the car off their shiny trousers On way to a pre booked MOT - with no tax disc- as you are allowed Knob head just tapped the reg into his computer Had to do a producer @ local cop shop where I pointed out the error of Constable Richard Head`s ways

she has NEVER been over the speed limit

no offence taken you are absolutely right, she is 71 and has only been driving for about 15yrs, and she is mince, so by totally complying with the law i am NOT saying she is a better driver than me (in fact when she slags me for getting done for speeding, we argue that i am still abetter driver than her (and have points on my licence to prove it!!) i agree with you about oldies being more risk than anyone else at 29mph

Unlike an ex-girlfriends mum......

She used to go like the clappers.

if you want to keep things accurate, i said 7 or 8 as i cant remember as it has been over 32 yrs since i started driving, and it isnt about me getting any message I KNOW it is illegal and wrong to speed, i do it but i dont winge about getting caught
do you understand English when it is written down? what has me getting done for speeding got to do with bimbo head not knowing she is speeding or how many times she drove recklessly (my definition of her being reckless is because she doesnt seem to know when she is doing it, which i think is more reckless than someone choosing to do 80 down the motorway on a quiet bright dry day in a car that is fully functioning etc etc) last week, in general we leave for work at the same time, drive the same route in the same time, if as a one off you are late or held up etc etc you decide to take a chance and speed you get away with it or you get caught, you dont at the end of the week say "oh i think i was speeding all last week" that is the reckless, stupid. bimbo bit, do you understand now, you dont get your mums latest squeeze to get the violins out, i have been done, never mind the details its not big or clever and i have taken my points and fines, i have never beed done for anything else or caused a crash in 32 yrs, as others have said while speeding is 100% illegal there are times when it is less dangerous than others, (my justification ) i have a clean driving licence, i was last done for speeding in early 2007, so whether cameras are removed or what ever we will do what we choose to do, as long as we dont get someone else to whinge about it on our behalf. i am now going to try not to take the bait and answer you again, (probably unlikely given that you are supertwat on here)

Insurance companies do not put your premium up for a speeding offence and who better knows about what and who is dangerous?


There are two types of driver; those who admit to speeding and liars. (see my sig.). N.B. Speeding, by definition, is anything over a posted speed limit.

More honesty, less hypocrisy please…

Both of those statements are absolute bol locks!
I do not speed and constantly check my speedo to make sure I don't. Why do I do that? because I've had to see a young boy grow to be almost a man go to his grave as a result of a speeding driver. Perhaps you should consider the effects that "fast but safe" drivers have when they get it wrong. In our case, Paddy was killed. Words cannot describe the impact that has on family and friends. So with respect, we do not all speed. We may have in the past but losing a loved one in a high speed crash will change the way you drive.

I drive all over the country and today I drove the A17 amazed at the risks people were taking to get one place ahead. That road is littered with roadside memorials to those killed as a result of "fast but safe" drivers killing other people in head on collisions.

Speed on it's own may not be a killer, but speed and error frequently are.

Once, when I was working in Basildon, I witnessed a couple of coppers in a mobile camera van checking the speed of passing vehicles on a dual carriageway for about four hours solid. This was despite the fact that there were roadworks further along the road and no one was able to go faster than about 5 mph anyway. Nice work if you can get it!

After reading donks post and looking back on the abuse Joe-90 gave him, Im of the opinion Joe is a belligerent hypocrite.

I suspect Joe is an alcoholic too, who, IMHO likes to annoy people. As for his girlfriends reckless daughter... a job with Willi Betz would suit her.

P46.
