loose your licence within 15 minutes of driving, might even be less.

Think about it, i got flashed by a 30 camera doing 36, didn't get points coz i done a speed awareness course but had i not done the course i would have got three points!!!!

Your allowed 12 points and then bye bye, so how many of us go six or so miles over the speed limit more then four times in one journey??? if the answer is "i do" then the law of the land says your not fit enough to drive. What a fucked up system for the drivng law.

WANKERS

Ginge !

thinking like that DOES worry me, as i usually do 90 on the A12 and A13,,,,,,, and thats a 40 these days

see im laughing now but i think i got nicked by a speed camera on there doing 65ish as there was 2 arctics over takign and i never seen the lines till late so i broke but think i was still doing about that


mate your also forgetting the "convoys" to the car shows were we ALL do avrage of 130ish,,,,,,,,,, prob why im not bothered about if i get done today

you wait untill next year when police are legally aloud to start camoflaugeing their cameras again!! . And they don't have to put a speed camera signs near the cameras either!

Why is it fucked up? Speed limits are there for a reason.

If you don't want to obide by the law then you must be prepared to deal with the consequences if you get points

It's not about money though is it

Why do you think the powers that be want these black boxes for road pricing. So they know where you are and how fast you are going. This country makes me pig fucking sick

The robbing cunts in power bully and harrass the motorist but won't deal with piky's or extremists for fear of backlash. How about we as motorists backlash and tell them where they can shove it. An operational camera costs about £40k if we all twat just one it should get the message across.

It's highway robbery nothing more no matter what the do gooders bleat.

rant over

Unfortunately this is true,the thing is how far are they going to go to camoflage the cameras,are they going to paint them like brick so they blend in aganst a wall,or green so they blend in with the trees ??

Tossers

Thers a camera only 1/2 a mile from me, its constantly getting burnt by people sticking tyres over it a setting light to it

thinking about it though ,you would only be guilty of one count of speeding??? if you were followed by a copcar over the same stretch of road then you would only be done for the one offence rather than the four?????

money grabbing w8nkers

4x4

So you think doing six miles over the speed limit is a crime which is justified with three points? thats 25% closer to loosing your licence when its clean, bearing in mind they only come in 25% at a time.

Where is it that you ride your GSXR then?

Those wankers are too fucking fat and too fucking dumb to catch real criminals, rapists, pedos, thieving scum. why dont they wait in bushes to catch rapists.

They put all that money in ways to catch the honest man and women providing for their family on their way back from work doing six miles over the limit. Come on thats fucking thick. pedos get more rights then drivers.

They rehome pedo scum next to primary schools and think its fine to give you three points and a £60 fine for six miles and eventually take your driving privilages away. if anyone thinks thats just then your probably a pedo yourself.

Another thing, if its called the congestion charge, why are they going to start taking more money of the 4x4 off road type motors, cant see how much more room it could take up, my drive way holds two cars be it Two minis or two Range rovers. Even talking about charging Bikers. WTF.

They want people to start using public transport but then keep putting the prices up and the standards down. Who the fuck wants to sit on the bus with inbread, villiage idiot happy slappers?

sounds like you just want to have a rant about society in general mate

We cant change the fact thatb 6mph over the limit gains us 3 points so its pretty much like it or lump it! It may suck yes but we also have the option as to how fast we drive so you can decide whether you end up with points or not

We all take a chance everytime we drive i guess

Don't know what my bike has to do with this

BTW fair play getting off the points by doing the course! Did it hurt sitting there biting your lip and bullshitting about how you learned your lesson?

dexterc

Y'think? Since the last change of government, the amount of people in jail has doubled. Obviously soft on crime

A better point would be that a survey commissioned by the Government to help justify the focus on speed actually found that speed is not a major contributary factor in road accidents. Alternatively, one could ask why it is important for them to hide cameras in places where they want you to slow down. No one wants points and a fine, if you really wanted to slow people down in certain areas, put a camera there with a big fuckoff neon sign, rather than going through a court process to have the right to hide them.

Oranoco

But jailed for what?

dexterc

How the fuck should I know? Seems odd that a perception of being 'soft on crime' and a doubling of the amount of people jailed go hand in hand though. I couldnt much care, it was just an aside, figured I'd add a little bit of actual evidence to the discussion. Love the Escort, by the bye.

4x4

Why is it that a lot of people on pp are qualifed to tell others why they are doing something . im not ranting about society. The point i was trying to make was one little MISTAKE and your closer to loosing your licence and we make one little mistake a few times when we drive.

About the course when every one was asked their excuse why they were doing six miles over they came up with shit like "i thought id be O.K doing a few over" and bullshit like that, i told them straight that i was coming out of a national speed limit and thought it would be 40 at the end coz it wasn't built up or any thing but when i realised it was 30 it was too late.
They actualy tell you that a lot of intentions of the law on motorists are for revenue. They also bring up the point that if they want you to slow down in certain areas, why hide the camera and not even put camera enforcement sign posts!!!!

I was saying about your bike coz i've riden a few bikes and have to say it is very uncomfortablre riding them slow and you have to give it some

Ginge !

guys im more worried about the police lobbing to convict people with no need for the court system,,,,,,,, thats gonna be a shite idea as we all know how good the coppers are these days

chrushing cars for repete offences,,,,,, just basically starting on our youth who when i was younger i wasnt a issue but a few complaints for neighbours would get you done, no need for court either


whats this about hidden speed cameras ???

Were you referring to this about the no conviction thing?

What a fucking awful idea. Lets not bother with due process, or any pretence at freedom, if a copper says so then you are fucked.

pointles post... Dont do the crime ........
END OF

Yes i speed and wouldnt moan and cry like a baby if i got caught...

I suppose that's what i was trying to sum up in a "nice" kinda way

4x4

Your obviously an old man. basically you cant do anything in this country without being prosicuted. i suppose you'll be first in te que for those shitty electric car that tops 40.

six miles an hour in a country road at 2am isn't a crime thats justified with points, if i did run someone over where it happened, trust me they deserved it.
not doing things by the half, if i wanted to speed i would have done it properly, trust me.

No need to be personal there mate.

I lived at my last address for 23 years, and in that time the speed limit changed....... NEVER, it was a 30mph limit for all of the years I lived there. Ok, so a copper hiding in a hedge is a little unfair, but speed limits aren't a new invention, just remain as eagle eyed as you can and drive to the limit. Sounds boring I know, but I have a clean licence AND get my kicks. On track days. Or on a MX bike. etc etc... Thats why I flogged my old cossie and now have a snotty XR2, its still possible I could lose my licence but I have no real ambition to demonstrate how fast my car is anymore, so I dont drive fast.

track days are a bit steep these days

SteveH

£10 to ride my local track all day on the MX.
Not as steep as doin bird or losing the old licence though.

Lee Reynolds

No not old. Just mature enough to realise that if i do something wrong then i expect to be punished. Believe it or not ive know that since i was about 3 or 4

All these posts we get on PF people moaning about getting caught for speeding Its like moaning cos your lass has stabbed you as you were piling it into her sister

the limit is the limit stick to it

if your child was running around outside and cars driving fast
past them or one got knocked down you would be the first to
do something about it or kick up a big fuss.

women piss me of mum's allways going on about peaple speeding
and put there children in danger but how many of you have been
behind a car with a female driving and thay do 40 or 45 in a 30 mph
zone with kids in the car

at the end of the day what the hell are track days for

on a open road early hours of the morning fine but not in a well built
up area or in busy traffic

ok .. calm it down or it gets binned ..

getting personal with people who do not hold your opinion will only result in you haveing a few days away from here ...

we all have our views on speeding etc ... and they do not always agre with everyone elses ..

the laws are there .. if you get caught breaking them that is your own fault and no one elses ...

I got flashed 2 weeks ago doing 46 in a 40 £60 fine and 3 point

Went out in the cossie last week and was doing silly speeds, enjoying myself then thought i can easily lose my licence.

Can 2 easily get carried away in the RS's.

Yep yep, super lucky
And the track is about 10 minutes from me, near Gartree prison market harborough. I always wonder if the inmates can hear us blatting about and get jealous
