On my way to the gym...Knackered from work so i was a little out of it tbh.

Going along on a 30 and saw a police dude stood tehre pointing a gun with two circles holes in the front at me.

I saw him and noticed I was doing no more than 32 - 33 mph...Slowed down to 25mph along side him.

What do you think? :confused:

2 - 3 mph in it?

Was at about 8:30pm aswell...expected him even less!

one of these bad boys

I think people like you who drive at 25mph in a 30 are annoying as hell?

Well thats good coz I was doing 32 - 33 mph :confused:

Also there was a round about just after him so I was slowing down for that too...

Wouldn't worry if you were doing 34<, because they give you 10% remember..

Akira · 21 Aug 2008 at 22:41

Can't imagine they'll do you for 32-33 in a 30.

Jokester · 21 Aug 2008 at 22:42

Plus you speedo is typically out by 5-10% anyway.

Sime · 21 Aug 2008 at 22:43

I looked at him after as I drove past and he was still pointing it down the road. He did really flinch at me

EvilDreams · 21 Aug 2008 at 22:46

I think it's 10% + 2 for the gatso cameras....but like someone said if your speedo says 32-33 you are probably doing just a little over or under 30, not 33.

Sime · 21 Aug 2008 at 22:50

aww thats good to know. Cheers everyone.

lol sorry to get so mental...lol im done.

Clarkey · 21 Aug 2008 at 22:53

an astra? A mate has one of those, the speedo is really innacurate compared with the tomtom, at 33 indicated you will be fine. In fact he makes a habbit of driving through 30 zone gatso's at nearly 40 indicated and they never go off.

Sime · 21 Aug 2008 at 22:54

lol oh well. Maybe thats why cars behind me always looks so ****ed off

EvilDreams · 21 Aug 2008 at 22:55

When I went to view a car the guy I bought it off went through a 40 limit gatso at 60 indicated, nothing.

yak.h'cir · 21 Aug 2008 at 23:16

The old style gatsos don't always have the cameras in them so he probably just got lucky.

Justintime · 22 Aug 2008 at 00:36

at 35 on my speedo road angel and NAV-U GPS indicate 30-31mph on the Focus and 32-33 on the 525D.

Limits aren't aims.

Of course they are, what a silly thing to say.

NathanE · 22 Aug 2008 at 07:41

Is this the first time you've driven past a speed camera?

That's a good line, I like it.

Obviously in no way do I condone speeding except on a test track with a full safety team and appropriate training, ahem.

Lol, you got close enough to take a detailed picture of him, and never asked him . . . . . . .
