What were you got by? Following policeman?

bloody car was at the end of a long turn so by the time u went round it the dude was standing there with his gun pointing straight at me

its a common road where people speed though, he had 4 other people going through the motions.

what was that nevermind? pay £x and they take the points off?

Unlucky mate, I got clocked in my first 3 months of driving by an unmarked van whilst doing 40 in a 30 but haven't got caught again since then and it's coming up to 2 years and a half of driving. Although I thought I got caught last night, I wasn't concentrating and was doing 50 in a 40 and then suddenly saw the speed camera lines in the road as I was actually on them so slammed on the brakes whilst on the lines and got to about 45, thankfully the camera didn't go off, I owe someone for that one lol

Lucky there me thinks. Sirrel you no what my parents are like, i came down and told mum this morning she simply said "I'm not surprised" and then she started laughing. haven't told dad yet....gulp. But apparently you have the right to see the calibration ticket for the speed gun they were using if they can't produce one then the offense isnt valid as it could be inacurate.

worth a shot

Don't worry about you're mum and dad, doubt you're dad will care, I wasn't worried about telling mine especially with my dad's track record

lol you no what my dads like. Not a single point on his license and hes got away with being nicked.....twice lucky git

Na he'll be cool

 

[Phate]

do they have to pull you over to issue the fine if they find that youre speeding with a laser gun?

they got me with a laser gun then told me to pull over and issued the fine

 

[Phate]

no they weren't hiding

they had their car parked and were standing behind their car.


Anyway i've been and spoken to my uncle whos an ex copper and he said for me not to take my license to the station like i was told to and we wrote a letter saying i'm willing to except the points/fine if they can provide me with a certificate to say it has been tested recently and that i don't want to go to court over it but merely evidence that the machine is working properly
