    Stopped (from speeding) by the police

    Driving back to London in the inside lane of the A40 this afternoon, on the NSL section that runs past Northolt Aerodrome (before it drops to 50mph at the Polish War Memorial) I found myself closing up on traffic in the left and middle lanes, while the outside lane was empty. The last car in...

    Caught Speeding?

    Having cruised down the M5 at Distronic 70mph (yawn) I thought I'd give the car some beans on one of my favourite (and usually plod free) sweeping left handers on the A38 dual carriageway towards Birmingham. The bend is sharper than the photo suggests, especially at :cool:mph. As I rounded the...

    Speeding

    I've just got back from the Magistrates court I got done for speeding, totally my fault no excuse. Ended up with 6 points and a fine. Just contacted the insurance to inform them and they aren't putting up my premium :bannana: sometimes insurance company's aren't too bad.

    Lets say you have had a chat with Les Gendarmes en route to Spain and the kind chaps have relieved you of a significant amount of Euro AND your driving licence........ :ban: Paddy the Polis said he had to send it to his head office within 72hrs but then he was unsure if it was sent to the...

    Speeding and displayed speeds

    There are a couple of speeding related posts on here this week however I have discovered something myself over the last few days which has surprised me. On previous cars the speedo has always been inaccurate. This is shown up when I have fired up a Tomtom where the speed displayed is accurate...

    Speeding in a 30

    I received a letter saying that I broke a 30mph speed limit by 6mph, ie 36mph in 30 limit The picture unfortunately was taken from the rear of the car so the driver could not be recognised. The car is a pool car for my company so it could be one of 6 people. I know a 100% it was not me as the...

    New speeding penalty

    Outside my workplace this afternoon the police were hiding armed with a radar gun as they do on occasion. However this time there was a new twist to the proceedings. Since such a high number of cars were doing over 38mph on this particular 30mph zone, the police were giving drivers two...

    Multiple Speeding Offences ?

    Here's a thought.... I have often heard folk refer to the possibility of incurring multiple speeding fines on the same journey by speeding past different speed cameras. Would this count as multiple offences if the speed never dropped below the speed limit? Surely this is the same offence...

    'Safety' van spotted speeding.

    I saw a 'safety' camera van pull out in front of me today. As I approached, he accelerated onto a dual carriageway, and as I neared the speed limit, he was still pulling away. He must have got up to 75-80mph in a 60. I should have taken his number and complained to restore some karma. The irony.

    Caught speeding ?

    Was out yesterday in the works van (West Midlands area) and just came out of a an "S" bend in the road to see a mobile "Safety" camera van with the back window open and a camera pointing at me. I wasn't going particularly fast and looked at the speedo which indicated about 35 mph. The road speed...

    Speeding question

    I was out walking the dog on Sunday night at 21.45 and something caught my eye in the dusk. About 50m from me on one side of a nearly empty 1 mile long stretch of 40mph dual carriageway was a car stopped with someone knelt down talking in through the passenger window. A closer look revealed it...
