Just what I did not need today, another 3 points for speeding in a 30. This fvcking country and its speeding cameras around every corner is completely crazy. Don't mind the fines so much, but the points really get to me. Am very concerned about insurance renewal with 6 points, but I have read that companies are not hammering people as much just because sooooo many people now have points for speeding, but in a safe manner, i.e. not wreckless driving, just doing 35 in a 30 :evil:

Has anyone heard of or invested in this??

Yup! Fixed camera, or money tree as I call them. Actually down in Portsmouth, just waiting to hear if my mate got one aswell as we were in close convoy and when I saw a flash I was already past the camera and tell tales so he might be getting bad news, fingers crossed he keeps in the clear.

:evil: :evil: :evil:

I've got my fingers crossed as well. Went to IKEA in warrington last sat and they had a van on that d/c stretch off the M62.

They had a bike and car there as well though so I'm just praying it was a road tax van. I was certainly close to 50 on the clocks in a 40 so it's borderline.

Were there a pair of massive spot lights or cameras actually sat behind the van? If so, I'm pretty sure that's the DVLA. Drove past one at 90-odd the other day...thank god it was the DVLA :oops:

Don't remember any Matt, but I've seen the police using various methods before now. One was 3 cameras on tripods over the M6? to blackpool and they had one patrol car and a million bikes in the area.

Another lot were on the A34 nr wilmslow and they were just using an ANPR unit on a patrol car with a few bikes as well.

For fixed speed cameras? what does this do, void the ticket if the certificate is out date??

Give it two weeks or so, if nothing comes in the post then dont worry the buggers didnt get you. This is apparently the time it takes to get the letter processed and into the post.

Thank my lucky stars, last year i got done for speeding in a 40 zone. Filled out my name admitted to it, sent it off then that was it. Havent heard anything since. :?

Really? I basically don't have a leg to stand on, so I have to fill out the form and send it back anyway. You got caught by a fixed camera, and were let off?? Lucky sod :wink:

I heard six weeks. My letter arrived today after 6 days :?

But there is no indication on the letter of points or fines, just the date, location and speed. Oh well, better get on with it :cry:
