Saw a scamera van on my home from work, I was doing 37ish in a 30, guess this will be speeding conviction number 7, my only excuse is that it was downhill.

If you have no self control, what you want is a half modern car with adaptive cruise control.

Over how long?

I honestly don't know, but I think it was for about the same distance that I got a speed awareness course for

[KungFooBob]

I think he means the period over which you have committed seven offences. Probably concerned about 'totting up'?

OK, over how many years have you had 7 convictions?

Sorry, I misunderstood, 31 years, 1985 46 in a 30, 1986 50ish in a 30, 1987 85ish in a 70, 1988 82 in a 70 (got banned for 3 months) 1989 I took a year off being caught, 1990 105 in a 70 (didn't get banned), 35 year gap, 2025 35 in a 30, today 37ish in a 30

Poor obs!

[weeksy]

Thats not exactly terrible then.

Thats not exactly terrible then.

No, it'll be a £100 fine and 3 points.
I'm more bothered that it's come so quick after the last one, about 8 months, I'm going to have to be careful

Have you considered sticking to the speed limits?

Now that's just silly talk

On the bike I stick to 30 and 40 limits rigorously, everything else is fair game and if I'm caught I'm not bending over to pick up the soap.

In the car, I stick to the limits religiously. It's such an easy thing to do in a modern car, they bong and flash if you go a single mph over the limit.

Happened about here, which is near Twisted Oaks MTB Park, camera van was a bit past where the drive to the cottages joins the road

[Skub]

I bagged 3 points in 2023 and they reamed me for car insurance. Oddly no change to the bike premiums.

It's a racket.

My car is 18 years old, there's no bongs or flashes.

Mid 90's would have been my last of two speeding tickets. I am no angel i just must have better observation than you.

If it's a van, by the time you recognise them, they've probably got you. Around here they'll typically park after a bend and have the equipment focused for long-distance views.

Speeding fines are the opposite of tax evasion.

Only if you're going over the speed limit.
