what about stop lights over there? or do you have those? seriously i dont know.... over here if you run through a red light they'll take a picture of your tag and mail you the ticket lol

 

we do have the red light cameras BC over here. from what Sue was saying sounds like she got done by one. a good updated GPS system will warn you of them but if you like risking getting t-boned! but like speeding im sure were all guilty of it though. even if its if your stuck in the middle of the road and the filter arrow doesnt come on!

 

thats the thing speedy, they hide so you cant see them. if im going through a really built up residetial area, kids playing near the road, next to the playing field etc i'll often drop lower than 30. the people behind arnt too happy but it gives you that little bit more time just incase something happens.

 

they have alot of them scamer-vans up here stokie!

when a copper clocks you on his radar, he has to pull you over and issue a NOTICE OF INTENDED PROSECUTION.

 

its only when you get spotted on a fixed or mobile speed CAMERA that you will get the N.I.P through your post.

 

well, thats what i believe

think i might have been cought speeding to day. the f*****g nob headed cop had his t5 hid in the house estate out ov view, and he was on the other side of the road hideing behinde a tree. are they allowed to hide like that? any way he pointed that gun at me and i tryed to slow down, so im just wondering....whats the range on them before they get you? i didnt see him till 30 yards off him???

 

c**ts!!!

if you cant see some 6ft tall c**t dressed in high vis clothing then a 4ft schoolkid has no chance, whats the stopping distance at 35?

 

kids got no chance! speeders deserve everything they

I half agree with you there. 30's & 40's are there for a reason, but there's nothing wrong with putting your foot down in the right place, just use your head a bit.

the copper was in .BLACK TROUSERS AND A BLACK BODYWARMER THING AND HIS FLAT TYPE CAP. he was hiding behind a tree in the shade. he had no hi-vis gear on... thats how i didnt see him

a bodywarmer in this wether sounds about as likley as a copper on road patrol without high vis...... not very likley

No, thats not correct as they dont have to stop you at the side of the road if the laser gun is connected

to a camera as i have found out in the past , but they do have to send the evidence to you along with the n.i.p within 14 days

If you stay to the speed limits then you can smile at the copper who points anything at you. Im sure lots of people break the limit but dont moan when you get caught.If you were knocked down by someone speeding im sure you would have a good moan.

I think your allowed upto 8% over the limit or a small % over and no they cannot hide so i think you can appeal and they suppose to have signs out to say they are doing a speed check.

 

All they need to have is either a proper camera sign in the vicinity or put their own out on the side of the road.They can hide where they want.It's the same as anything mate....If you can't do the time don't do the crime..........aint no good moaning like a little ninny now.And,before you say anything,YES I do speed from time to time,but,if I get caught you won't hear me whinging like a little girl. :boogie:

Talking about hiding with the speed camera. Someone who thought it unfair, bubbled the Derbyshire force for using an old van. It's been resprayed dark blue, although still registered as white. There is paint and cement crud on the back bumper, so it's just an old builder's van aint it?

The north wales police, (Chief Constable hates bikes) have a Discovery and horse box combination which they park up at likely tax collecting points.

The camera is in the 'oss box!! These have been pictured at work in "Motor Cycle news"
