harsh or not?

i'll tell you the story once some of you have had a say

11 lines between picture 1 and picture 2 so i'm sure someone will have their calculator hat on to work out how fast the vehicle was going

 

depends on the circumstances really.

 

Under normal road conditions, very harsh. You are given a certain percentage anyway.

74 mph???

assuming the marks are a typical 5 feet apart, and the photo's 0.5 seconds apart!!!

 

So not harsh at all really!!!

 

Exceedingly harsh. Herts camera's in a 30mph limit don't trigger until 40mph. They typicaly have a degree of tollerence dialled in to allow for speedo inaccuracy and to prevent them issuing more tickets than can be dealt with

 

Maybe if you weren't reading 'Powerslam' you would have been able to see your speedo

 

i was done for the same in 08 36 in a 30 zome and dry road conditions but caught by a van - i was in the old Saxo workhorse with a bouncy needle but they stood

 

6 points for 36 in a 30 is PROPER harsh!

 

at a guess the person decided to take to court and the usual 3 points + fine were increaed by the court to 6 points + fine due to other reasons or evidance

 

This is going to sound harsh... but if you weren't speeding in the first place... you wouldn't have to worry about it.

It makes me laugh tbh, you think it's great getting everywhere faster but as soon as you get points for breaking the law.. you moan ?? wtf people !!!! And no, before you start, i don't speed, i don't see the fucking point.

MY OPINION !

 

That is absolutly pathetic!!! why dont they go and pick on some real criminals fucking pig bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i was really lucky i was doing 47 in a 30 outside a school at night and i got let off iv slowed down since then tho its so easy to lose your license now

but 36 in a 30 is harsh

 

that is proper harsh man like said before havent they got anything better to do i wonder how that town is getting on with no cameras cant remember which town it is did they get rid of the cameras there?

 

It's 6 MPH. I've done more dangerous things on my pedal bike.

Benni.

 

6 or 60, it's still breaking the law !

 

So you've never exceeded the speed limit before?? Fair play!

 

So if its breaking the law why don't they have speed cameras go off at 31mph then as it is still speeding in the eyes of the law? Does sound incredibly harsh. Any other circumstances that we don't know about?

Also I can't see any pics

 

I still say Dojj was reading this months 'Powerslam' and couldn't see the speedo

 

The only time i've ever exceeded the speed limit willingly, was getting out of the way of an ambulance My drivers license cost me a shit load of cash, so i don't really fancy pissing it up the wall along with fines and points that'll make driving even more fuckin expensive !

Like i said, it's only my opinion, i don't speed - but nearly everyone else i know does if i'm in the car with someone i won't complain about their speed - unless their being twats about the speed in certain areas.

 

It'd never work - i think it's fords speedo's that can be up to 13% out ?

 

tell us what happened so we can decide for sure if your a cunt or not.

 

yes, but theyll be 13% under reading.

 

Do they not take a certain percentage off your speed or that just average speed cameras?

 

I thought a speedo over read?

Benni.

 

I got 3 points and £30 fine for doing 43 in a 30mph limit so very harsh

 

You must be one of those many sunday drivers that drives at 28mph in a 30 limit 57mph in a 60mph limit and 67 in a 70mph! really annoys me when people don't obey the speed limit and that goes for both ways not just speeding but not driving at the right speed in the 1st place!

 

i mean your speed will be under whatever the speedos actually reading. im perhaps not very clear with my choice of words.

 

You can't measure safe driving in MPH, and speeding fines don't take safety into account.

If it was dangerous it's not harsh. If it wasn't dangerous then it's properly harsh.

 

then you should learn that 'obeying the limit' means keeping at or under it depending on conditions. it's not a target to always aim to drive at

 

thats a bit of a cunt

i got 5 points and 190 fine for doing 50 in a 30 in weston, but that was a duel carrageway that i did think was 50

 

thats still harsh. i got a fixed penalty 3 points and a £60 fine for 47 in a 30. i had to go to court because i didnt return the slip in time but they only increased the fine by £20 and no extra points.

 

i did get let off the other week after overtaking an unmarked copper in excess of 95mph on the m4 lol

he said he had a dispatch himself and i must have been going fucking flat out,, which i was

nice bloke too

 

guessing bloke went to court rather than send back the fixed penalty.

i got 4 points for 42 in a 30 for going to court

 

i got 3 points and £60 for doing 72 mph in a 70 limit dual carrigeway the other week....



properly didnt realise you only allowed to do 60 on a dual carrigeway in a van. doh!

 

it is a target mate! if you dont think it is go drive at 45mph on a motorway and see how long it takes you too piss everyone off and before you get pulled over and asked by the law why you are driving too slow! and when you tell them that your keeping under the speed limit for the road conditions see what they make of that then!

 

6 points and £195 for 53mph in a 30. Didn't get the option of going to court or not, I was going too quick so it went to court anyway! Plus £50 petrol that night and I did fuck all!

 

I don't think you understand the 'driving to the conditions' part...

 

gay, i recon your a vauxhall driver!
how can u drive a cosy and not ern points?

 

i'd rather drive at 29 / 59 / 69 than get 3 points and a fine !!

Btw, it's called a speed LIMIT - not you have to do this speed, i do 30 ( or what my speedo calls 30), in 30 zones..etc etc..

i find it quite amusing how many people have picked up on my post tbh, i'm guessing there's a lot of you out there that don't really care about your license - or other road users ?
