Never been done for speeding, in the UK anyway, however I have in Oz which is a differnet matter, they hide the bloody things over there! :cussing:
So when I saw this on another forum I had to say...YEEESSS!

Ace!! Thats brill, I think (touches wood) that I am still clean, although im nervous for the next 12 days as I may have been caught :(
Excellent story eduabncs :)
Love it :)
Quite lucky here in County Durham Police Chief constable doesn't believe in speed cameras (fixed ones anyway) plus he doesn't have the man power or budget to implement. I still drive carefully though so hence a clean license.
Plenty of cameras in Lancashire. especially my home town Blackpool. Theres a camera on every main road pretty much! Went past two speed traps yesterday on my bike on the same stretch of road on the way to Devils Bridge :\
funny i like that eduabncs......... :lol:
Have a go at this.. http://www.speedcam.co.uk/game.htm
I got 14/19 on my first go...
@ ChrisH - Plenty here in Lincolnshire as well. And so far (touch wood) a clean licence for me at the moment. They are starting to appear everywhere and I have a 70 mile round trip everyday to work and tend to see on average 2 Scamera Vans at the side of the road as well.
Its not bad where I live now. Theres 2 gatsos either side of town and most of the time you will do well to speed past them due to the roads being very busy. Never seen a camera van in town but they like to sit on the M65 bridges. Last time my dad got done the van was parked behind a bush in a field on the A483 Preston road!!!
The latest "hide the van" trick around here is the colour. They have started using yellow renault vans and putting a speed camera symbal the size of a postage stamp (Perhaps a slight exageration there) somewhere on it, maybe underneath :lol: to comply with the signage rules.
I got 13/19 on it, and ChrisH, I've seen them on the M62 and the cameras around that area, bloody cameras grrrrr
They have to be on the 'Public Highway' .Quote:

I was not very popular when in conversation with the policeman I told him he could not prosecute all the 80 drivers for speeding because he was parked on private land .
Next time he came into my shop he told me I was right. :lol:
Michael.
PS. Just found out there in a new system that being tried out in some parts of the country .
It logs your vehicle registration, then a long way down the same road (in Miles) they take your vehicle reg number again and give you a ticket if your average speed was above the speed limit. :(
Yeah bloody average speed cameras you see them alot on roadworks these days.
Mike, that system is called SPECS Info on Specs from ABD.org.uk have some information on it. They are often, but not exclusivly found on motorways.Quote:
