Ph cack!!
I think I am going to get done. Driving through a 30 zone this afternoon,following a large van, I saw the camera van last minute and was doing 37, hit the brake and got to 32 when the van in front was passed the camera van, but I think I was too late.
Hopefully I will get the offer of a speed awareness course as it was between 35 and 42 mph

I always thought that the bit which estimates (important distinction) road speed is called an odometer...
I say estimates as all the ones I have come across over report speed by between 4 and 10% to protect the manufacturer from claims of responsibility for speeding fines when allowing for various tyre sizes, tyre wear, tyre pressure etc... So to be recorded at a speed of 45, the odo in the car could have been displaying 50 mph... so no sympathy there... speeding on a motorway is almost required to keep up with tragic flows today, but in town.... not forgivable...

Back in 1966,i was pulling away from traffic lights when i noticed a car trying to overtake me. Being young and foolish "he's not passing me " raced him through town,only to find out it was a police car. My fine was £5. About 10% of my wage.

Maybe it's just my perception that the post from Planenut was sarcastic. However being sarcastic doesn't preclude what is said from actually being fact.
