Who has a speeding ticket/fine ?

[Leekbrookgull]

Picked one up the other week. On a open road. A53 Leek-Ashbourne,at a tiny hamlet, 2 houses, a farm workshop,a pub and a bus shelter at 4 am !! If the Police want my help you dont get by going this.

So you were speeding got caught and think you have the right to moan?

Idiot

 

[desprateseagull]

what was the limit (iwere you were paying attention to road signs?), and the speed you were doing.. if speed higher than limit = likely fine.

call someone who gives a t@ss...

 

[Gazwag]

I cant imagine it was a speed gun at that time of night more a fixed camera, in which case what have the police got to do with it

 

[fatbadger]

So catching someone breaking the law is not a way to get that person to help the police?

I got done a few weeks back on the bit of road between Handcross and Pease Pottage services. A bit annoying as the copper was standing behind a bush with a speed gun, but I can't really complain as I was doing 40 in a 30.

 

[Juan Albion]

It is a well-known fact that speed limits don't apply between 3:59am and 4:01 am so I would appeal if I were you.



I might have felt the same as you until someone was killed right outside my house, in a village so small it didn't have a pub or a bus shelter.

Spooky just got in and got one tonight

 

[surrey jim]

[Lord Bracknell]

A few years back ... 36 mph along Hastings seafront at about 7.00pm on a weekday evening.

My excuse ... I was travelling at the same speed as everyone else.

Ironically, I was driving home after a meeting with people from Hastings Council and the Police about how road safety could be improved in the town.

A fair cop. But very irritating at the time.

I wouldn't expect any help or sympathy from North Sanctimony Chat if I were you fella.

 

[readingstockport]

Idiot

Agreed. People who break the law and then moan about the fact they get caught doing so are complete idiots.

 

[itszamora]

Loving all the sanctimonious replies on here - yes so technically he was guilty etc etc - but how can you say that booking a guy for speeding in a deserted area at 4am is using cameras for anything other than just taking money off motorists who haven't done anything (in this case) seriously wrong?

 

[Happy Seagull]

Speeding is speeding no matter where and what time. If you don't want to risk getting caught then don't speed, simple enough.

If one day i get caught speeding the last thing i'll be looking for is someone to tell me i was in the right.

 

[cheshunt seagull]

Caught 7 years ago by a camera doing 41 along Old Shoreham Road. Annoying, but I could have no cause for complaint. I have been much more careful since, in spite of being frequently tailgated by white van/Mondeo man for not doing over 45 in a 30 area.

I think the police should crack down on these transit drivers who seem to think its a requirement to tailgate people who are driving to the speed limits. Am I correct in thinking that a Transit van should not exceed 60mph on single & dual carriageways? If this is the case there is no excuse for tailgating people in cars doing 70mph.
