Has got a mate called Mike and today I got flashed by a speed camera.
The A5013 just before it joins the M56 has a camera there. I do this journey every day and have done thousands of times. The limit went from 40 to 30 a couple of months ago, and since then I've been doing the new lower limit.
I've never normally got a passenger, though today I did, my Mrs and so was chatting and driving slightly "subconsciously". I checked my speed on approach to the camera and saw 39mph, so I didn't slow at all as for that moment it registered to me that I was just under the limit, so I'm ok. As soon as I saw the flash I realised it's a 30 now, just for that moment it'd slipped my mind.
What am I likely to face? I've only been caught once before, that was by a cop at the side of the road, I was doing 43 in a 30 and did a speed awareness course. That was a few years ago now and I've been a good boy since, until today!
According to this, there's a chance I could get a FPN? Rather than the contents of the table included which is considerably worse...
