Default BOLLOX Just got caught speeding

Just driving over to my mates house and gave the car some serious beans along a lovely straight bit of road that was totally deserted and then saw the fucking mobile camera van tucked away at the side of the road...at 9pm on a Sunday FFS
I think I may on public transport for while

There is a site you can go on and it will tell you what cameras are on what roads at what time.

You may be lucky Cam and it was a Tax van

When I first got GTR Bamber nearly got done doing 50 in a 30 but luckily the cameravan was facing the other way down Kiveton High St and thinking back that was 6pm on a Sunday . We were amazed the vultures were out at that time on Sunday but 9pm takes the piss esp on a derestricted road where it goes down to a 30.

i had a thing a while ago when messing around with switch coming back from chelmsford as we was doing over a tin and he was infront, he seen em and pulled in but i never noticed at first then i slowed RIGHT down, lucky i never heard anything of it but we was doing over a ton overtaking cars on a single carrrigeway using it as a 1 way dual carrige way and so you may be lucky

no offence ment when i say this but when every boy racer has no plate on there car there gonna crack down on em just like small plates


please PM people with this advice as its getting to a point where no plates will be a fashion statment rather than a cheeky way to remind you of how close you could have been and so take extra care when driving next time



no offence ment when i type this just thing the less people talk about it the less people will notice and assume that some peoples plates have just fell off

You didn't follow the instructions properly then You have to bluff it out and it takes far longer than the 7 weeks you state.

I read in the Sunday Mirror motoring section yesterday that one guy got off after asking for a calibration report for the camera and also a certificate of competence for the operator to be produced on the day of the hearing. The juge threw it out as they didn't have them.

The 'foreign' loophole has been closed. If you claim it was someone from abroad, they want full proof of either flight/ferry/chunnel tickets/boat tickets/passport now before they even start to believe you.
