Firstly why was he speeding? lol
the road was 70 mph limit

What distance can those cameras get you from?

 

Unfortunately, i expect a letter telling me its substantially less than the speed i was travelling at when my detector mentioned it.

 

70 is the limit if you are in a car

but last year 2 people got zapped by it doing well into the 3 figure territory and they got nothing

spend the next 2 weeks with your it in the forefront of your thoughts or don't think about it at all and if it happens it happens

either way, good luck

 

Seems a few of you are worried about it, just hope that so many people got flashed they won't have time to contact all of you within 14 days.

Good luck..

 

i can imagine that

officer no 1 "hey bill, look at all these people who were speeding on the a43 on sunday morning"

officer no 2 "bloody hell will, thats a lot of forms to fill in mate"

officer no 1 "well, can't we just pick out the non fords and send them tickets? i've got to get home and iron my eppuletes"

officer no 2 "good thinking will, i'm sure no one will notice i've been empting the shreader twice an hour anyway"

 

The limit on that stretch is 70 mph.

The camera was put up as it is a blackspot for deaths at the dual crossing just up from the camera.

3 died last year
4 died the year before (including a close school friend )

Not a nice piece of road, hence the camera to slow people down and prevent the afore mentioned.



On the other side of the coin, many motorists have written in to the local council complaining of the visibility of the camera as it is partially hidden by the road sign for the junction.
