Default Just got a speeding ticket

Just got s crapy speeding ticket from clifton boulevard in notts

Think it was those dodgy cameras's that work out your avaerage speed, worst thing is i allways take my time thru those ones as you just cant blag em.

At this moment in time i could cry

unlucky.

We've just got a rake of new cameras up here "SPECS" they call them.. they are the ones you mentioned, that work out your average speed over a distance etc..

Scumbags

What'd they get you at?

You owe it to yourself to go necklace or otherwise trash a speed camera as an act of revenge! It will make you feel better

Yes scumbags they truely are.....

Worst thing is i know those camera's are good and they cant be avoided as much as the older type, i allways take my time thru those and thers allways people overtaking me so these must have tickets too??

It doesnt even give me a speed it just ses i was exceeding the 40 limit

i will get my own back somehow

Cheers peeps

Im quite surprised it doesnt give you your average speed i would of thought they would want to get every penny they could out of you for breaking the limit!
IMO you have got 3 options in SPECS areas.
1. get one of those numberplates which you can make go invisible
2. hide behind a big fooking lorry when approaching the camera
3. DONT SPEED

no they are different think they are called truvello cameras forward facing, use infa red or some shit and dont flash.
Spec cameras are usually mounted high up normally in roadwork areas or build up areas with 40mph dual carrigeways (there were some on the thellwall for TIME not sure if they are still there or not, northamptonshire has a shit load of em .)

It just pisses me off, like I have no problems admiting I was speeding if I was pulled over by a copper with speed gun . But its the snyde way they go about it, putting up cameras here there and everywhere, just tro rake in revenue so they can add to their donut and coffee budget

Yeah wank is not the word, i drive thru them most weekends without any problems in my van, first time a take the saph and bang i have a ticket!!

Im sure i wasnt speeding as i know they cant be beaten, makes me wonder if my speedo is actually telling me the truth.

Still ill be getting more points, just hope its not a ban
