Well I was bored so thought I would read back to some of the earlier posts while I wait for a phone call when i found this.
Now I would ahte to disobey the great webmaster so:
I got doen for speeding not so long ago. I was on the motorway where thye are doing some roadworks so the speed limit is reduced to 50mph.
I got cought by a fixed camera doing 54mph in this zone. At half past eleven int he evening. When i was the only car on the motorway.
For this mild transgression I got £60 and 3 points!!!!!!
On a related note, there has been a lot of coverage in the UK press altely about how the police are putting more resources into catching speeding drivers than other criminals as they recieve a cut of any speed fines. In one village, the police put up a big sign basically saying in the last 12 months we have caught 2000 speeders. underneath the sign some local wag had put up another sign. In the last 12 months the police have caught 0 thieves!!
Just thought I would ahve a mini rant!!
