Coming down the A449 in to Wales, get over a crest with a nice long straight section down again, layby about half a mile down with a van, clocked it pretty quick and went down from about 90 (probably just under) to 70.

How quick are those guys? Only other time I ever got caught speeding was same setup, one of those vans on the side, although that time I had practically driven past it by the time I had seen it.

I reckon I would have been, hmmm at least 300-400 yards away when I saw it, and over the crest, maybe 5 seconds before slowing.

Be interesting to see I suppose.
 
Oh well, always wanted to do one of those speed awareness courses.

I'll keep you posted anyway if the letter does come through.

Just remember when they have the camera hidden like that it's all about safety:rolleyes:. I wish they spent the time and effort and catching actual poor drivers and especially ones that don't indicate, but that would involve actual work.

Yea I agree it's just an easy way to catch you/make money. There are so many things people do that are dangerous, not concentrate, don't leave breaking distance, have poor/bold tires, bad brakes, be pushy when driving etc, all much harder to prove but imo far more dangerous then doing 20mph over on a straight bit of dual carriageway.

I been driving over 10 years do a fair few miles a year also as I live in a rural area, I also have a motorcycle. I've never had an accident touch wood.

I do speed all the time but only when the conditions are right, so always tons on breaking distance, and never in built up areas where other cars/people are around.

I think the moral of the story is just never go to Wales.
 
When is it they have to notify you by? it was 29th December, been 2 and a half weeks now not had anything through.

Getting quietly optimistic here...
