OK,
So the day started bad, people with little ones will understand. My turn to drop her off at Grandmas 30 mins away..
Left the house with little un and her stuff got a mile down the road (in a que) and I get a call from the Mrs, I've forgotten her clothes....aarrgghh
Round the roundabout back home to collect the clothes then set off again. Not really in any rush but doing the speed limits. Got to a two lane carriageway road near her Grandma's and its a 40 mph zone.
Plodding on pointing out sheep and cows to the little un when I spotted a camera van in the distance, Looked down at speedo and I'm on cruise at bob on 45mph (it just seems so slow in the truck..). Knocked it off straight away but I'm big enough to see so think he got me.
I know it my fault and hands up, but checking with the GPS on way back 45mph on my speedo is 42 / 43 mph on the GPS?
I also know that having an inacurate speedo is no excuse but what do the camera radar things work on? surely that will rear my speed at 42 / 43 mph
In which case is that still a ticket as it still over the speed
Even the little one looked sad when I droped her off as daddy looked say also.
