speeding

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...

.. ticket? German archives reveal speeding ticket for Adolf Hitler, caught driving over 40mph in 1931 | Mail Online In a merc as well :D

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...

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...

Drivers who exceed speed limit by more than 10mph will escape points and fines (in a move which brings back speed cameras) | Mail Online Interesting?

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...

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.

got a speeding ticket the other week and i haven't got a ******g clue whats going on... I was pulled over by a traffic officer for going over the limit. Given the circumstances, as to why i went over 40mph for about 5 seconds i thought it was incredibly harsh. Anyway..... I was told by said...

BBC News - Swede faces world-record $1m speeding penalty

He is threatened with the highest possible penalty of 300 days of fines at 3,600 Swiss francs a day which comes out to close to 650,000 euros. In Switzerland and Germany it is common for fines to be levied in such a way. In Switzerland the level of the fine is always dependant on a person‘s...

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...

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...

I reckon 17 years of clean motoring are about to go up in smoke. Ironically in a 1.6 vauxhall and not the 55.:o I was up north at the easter break visiting a close family member who is unwell. No excuse but i was a bit distressed on leaving and evidently slightly distracted: Dual...

Ok.. so i have been bad.. At 1.05am this morning, i was caught on the M4 speeding at... 116 MPH or 688.4 MTS I eplained why to police, they understood and said they appreciated my situation and let me go on my way quite quickly, but said a court appeareance at Court would be compulsory etc...

Driver parked in front of speed camera gets tickets - Telegraph Makes you wonder howmany other tickets are sent tothe wrong person, as in beiing overtaken at a speed camera?

Looks like comedian Jimmy Carr and his famous defence lawyer Nick "Loophole" Freeman haven't done it this time. Carr fined 300 pounds and 3 points after found guilty of speeding in his Bentley in Suffolk -- doing 50 in a 40 zone. I assume he wld have got the points anyway.....

There are occasions when I do longer m'way or dual carriageway trips on cruise. Usually set it about the limit - or lower if the traffic is generally moving a bit slower. Anyhow I used to get annoyed by passing people who then a short distance later would pass me and then later I'd pass them...

Naughty boy.

I've recently changed cars from a W211 E240 to a R230 SL500. I've noticed drivers now tailgate me much more often and much closer when I'm in the overtaking lane of a dual carrigeway or motorway. I am not guilty of sitting there when there's room to pull back in safely. I will not be pushed into...
