chaps,

Just went through a speed trap at mac 10, there are no pedestrians on this bit of road as it's a duel carriageway but it was a 40 and i was doing erm quite fast...maybe 86mph......am i banned ?

Me mate says that there's a web site where they have to advertise that they are putting a speed trap there and if they haven't it's null void...

am i busing it to work from now on?
 
i was always under the impression that if you double the speed limit then its an instant ban m8.

i may be wrong.

was this a static camera then ?
 
so am i mate and I'm bricking it.....researching the net now.....bollix man...gutted.....please no one dive in here and say " don't speed i know, I'm sorry" dam...dam dam dam dam a million times.


it was one of them bloody vans, looks like a council van until you realize that the windows and that are down in the back of it and you a have a massive Hubble telescope pointing at you...
 
did the van have any Hi-vis markings on it m8? if not, there could be your get out

yes mate, plastered all over it.....well the back end did any way....

if you can imagine a duel carriageway dropping down hill on a massive gradient.....sitting in a bloody 2 liter SRi, the pedal hit the metal....might fit one of them door stops to the bottom of me accelerator to stop me going over 23 mph.....

My mate tried the 23mph stop. No good for him though he ended up using pedals accompanied with a frame and wheels.The only speeding he did for a while was freewheeling downhill,he said he reminded him of when he was a kid,oh yeah i thought tell me that the next time you are going uphill.

Good luck against the trap...not that i,m agreeing to you speeding, it,s that i don,t like the bone idle b.....ds either,specially the traffic ones.

My mate reckoned it wasn,t the ban etc that bothered him,it was the insurance afterwards. I,ve not seen him speeding for a long time, those hills must have cured him. Besides i used to pass him by laughing that didn,t help.
 
i better get the dust of the old bmx..................
 
I'll have a little looks thanks, the ironic thing is that i didn't have me sat nav on today, was hot and bothered and didn't bother plugging it in....nightmare....

i always thot it was 10% + 2mph...i mite be wrong

so 50 zone, fixed penality is 57+, summons is 76+

if it was a speed trap mate you will be banned by the court as its more the double the speed limit of under 50mph. obv double the 50mph limit you get banned anyway..

You might be lucky though and your speedo will be out so reading 80 you were probley doing around 67ish.. ok still over the limit but not a ban. speedos have to read over by law.
 
you cant do anything till you get the nip, which you might not...wait and see then go from there
