guys coming down motorway late last night in the car speed low 80's only a few cars around then i spy tucked in by the tree's in a " emergency vechicle only " police man pointing a camera at me question would i have been nicked there and then ? or can i expect something in the post any bexpierence guys thanks
I would Guess a letter through the post, if it was a hand held speed gun. fingers crossed for you in the next 13 days,
By post within 14 days as long as the vehicle is registered to you. Otherwise they have more or less as much time as they want, as long as they can prove they attempted to trace the driver / owner within 14 days of the 'offence'. One thing to note, or two.... 1: For any speed detection equipment to be used, there has to be camera warning signs. 2: All personel and equipment must be clearly identified, mobile camera users stood at the roadside must be highly visible. Failure to comply is classed as entrapment. Good luck mate, but at the end of the day the bastards want as much revenue as they can get. All because we have killed off manufacturing, apart from rules and regs. Oh, and because jimmy carr dodged his tax bill.
Depends what ya mean by low 80's. Usual guideline,dependant on chief cuntstable, is 10% +2, so 79mph before they tax you. If your speedo was showing 82, chances are you were doing 78/9???? Maybe a glimmer of hope for ya there...???
Na mate Took the speed off my sat nav think I was mid 80 Company car so long wait Pisses me off been awAy working in Manchester all week Just trying to get home road was quiet took it steady home and only went faster as sims stupid cow was just sat in middle lane overtaking nothing
Thats a right cnut is that. I been past plod shit loads o times at 90 ( on the bike ) they have never bothered. Fcukin tax cameras.
wouldnt worry about it mate seriously, they are looking for 100mph+ It was an officer holding a speed gun not a camera van right?
Yea was a cop holding a gun And to be fair to him I don't know if he wii do me yet Know what you mean about eating me up just having a bit of a shit time with things at the mo So over stressing Thanks guys always cheer me up
The government are even recommending a new speed limit of 80mph + 10% takes it upto 88mph so dont worry about it UK motorway speed limit increased to 80mph | Mail Online
Well yeah, working in Manchester is punishment enough. I'd only work there if I was in the Luftwaffe.
As Slowr1der says, they are looking for top speed merchants, IMO you wouldn't have fallen into their target speed, they leave that for the fixed cameras. Chances are if it was hand held he would have had a companion mobile on the same road doing the pulling there and then. Chin up mate, dont let it hang over you. Think positive.
My feeling is that you will be ok .I think the speed gun is for 100+ and as there will be a few miles to the next junction the cop can get in his car and have his fun so chill out dude.
