My clean licence
Yep. NIP this morning from Tuesday evening. 49 in a 30. I noticed the van, but the back of the van was pointing the towards oncoming traffic on other side of the road, but they were obviously sat in front with the camera.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.
Re: My clean licence
I have seen so many camera vans recently - well done on staying clean this long.
I say I've seen so many camera vans; in fact, since they have been hiding away and using SPECS from a long distance I didn't see any of them until way too late to have slowed down so take care out there folks (particularly in Worcestershire which seems to have a bit of a long-range mission to catch people).

Re: My clean licence
Hmm must be a regional thing. I was seeing them every day in London/Surrey/Kent around spring time. Haven’t seen any this summer.
How about not having a sig at all?

Re: My clean licence
That's points territory, isn't it? Well above being invited to a "course".
Edit: to help you avoid temptation you'd better park the 928 down here with me. I'll take good care of it.

Re: My clean licence
I fully expect points- course would be an unexpected bonus but I'm not hopeful. I was driving the Boxster at the time - 928 is off the road waiting for its MOT appointment.DeskJockey wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 3:46 pm That's points territory, isn't it? Well above being invited to a "course".

Re: My clean licence
You can park both down here then. I'm nothing if not generous.
Very annoying for you though.

Re: My clean licence
I got 3 points and £100 fine.

Re: My clean licence
Yep - sounds like a decent outcome. My eldest got the same for 44 in a 30 a few months back and I thought he was pretty fortunate.
Re: My clean licence
Many years ago I was driving a GP beach buggy at 41 in a 30 area, having spotted the Police too late. The 41 was with my brakes locked up, and they complimented me on being alert and the buggy for its sharp brakes. Still got 3 points and a £20 fine though.
Re: My clean licence
£20 fine, must have been before man step foot on the moon

Re: My clean licence
My first points and fine were driving to work for my first job after finishing uni. Had been there about 3 weeks. I was cruising at an indicated 80 on a 70-limit dual carriageway, and a nob that I was overtaking sped up to match my speed, so I was "stuck" in the outside lane. I sped up in order to pass them and pulled in front. Whilst doing so I noticed a nice silver Sapphire Cosworth on the hard shoulder. "Ooh that's nice".
60 seconds later I was slowing for a roundabout and noticed headlights approaching rapidly behind me flashing left-right-left-right. Cops - better let them past..... but as I slowed and moved to the left of my lane, then took position behind me. Ah balls.
Got done for 84 in a 70, and I was 5mins late for work thanks to testing out the rear seat of the Cossie to watch a man write a ticket. To be fair he said I was driving perfectly safely in his opinion, but limits are limits....
Apologised to my boss on arrival, said I'd been pulled for speeding, and said "you'll never guess what pulled me over?", to which practically everyone in the room simultaneously replied "Silver Cosworth?". I wasn't a bloody local, so wasn't aware that it had been patrolling the area for weeks with many stops. Buggar.

Re: My clean licence
That's a result!
I got caught on road past driffield where biker cafe is when I was dropping my S60 off to trade it for the XF.
Line of cars sat behind a tractor, no one making a move, so I took all 6 as it was clear, I was rounding the last car before the tractor when I saw the van hiding in the bushes, fully anchored on and did enough to get a fine for 69 in a 60.
Sneaky camera vans.
