Should not be going 40+ in those areas. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Sunday mornin mate , nobody about except me and the cops. Plus it's a dual lane single carriageway with a central reserve should be a 40 anyway. If it was -above 60 then I could understand people thinking ' not cool' bad man. Cops weren't even p**sed off, so chill a bit . Just means I need to behave myself next weekend so I can pay the dough. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

Always makes me laugh when people say the shouldn't be speeding horse turd when on a daily basis everyone does it! And half of these either smoke at the wheel, text or even facebook. I drive along in my work van at 8am every morning, looking down on short skirts, cleavage and mostly people texting or facebooking! I would rather my kids walk down a road with someone doing 40+ as the driver is looking at the road not the speedo! Doing 30 in a gti6 is a tough job without looking at the speedo! Some days we get caught but I would never complain because yes we all speed! |

I'm not saying I don't speed, I'm just saying I don't speed in 30s, not by that much. Maybe the odd few when not looking at the speedo, but 15mph over the limit is pushing it. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Actually I was driving my econetic 1.6 diesel mondeo. It's got 5 stars so the pedestrian should have been fine. Low emissions would have been kind to the local hedgerow ecosystem too. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

The Astra speed was based on being dropped from a high height, the 6 was 4 people with a full tank after a heavy Lunch #stoplivinginthepast ________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |

It would really interest me to know how long a person has been driving and their age when giving excuses about when it is okay to speed in certain areas. ________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

Carl I think from a fixed camera they have to be with you within 2 weeks so I read up when I got done, I was waiting almost 2 months. I got done by a policeman on the side of the road and was going slightly too fast to give out a fixed penalty so I had to wait for the court. ian7675 wrote: It would really interest me to know how long a person has been driving and their age when giving excuses about when it is okay to speed in certain areas. I gave the excuse to the judge that it was 11 o'clock on a Sunday night on a industrial estate and there was no other cars or pedestrians or parked cars on the road except for this one police man with his speed camera who heard me pull out of the junction. I kept my licence anyway. Just have to be careful now ________________________________________ Astor 6 |
