Bloody Speed Cameras!

canadian police are slack

I think I got away with doing :cough: a ton on the motorway 3 weeks ago as I got my speed down to 80 (I was in traffic) and the cop with the radar gun smiled at me and gave me the thumbs up.

That means "Its OK, I already clocked you"....

....not "Its OK you slowed up in time"..

...esp when you only slowed up to 10 mph over the limit..

It sucks, but most people can get away with 5mph over the speed limit...but 6 and your a gonner out there.

I was reading a sign when on the highway yesterday. It said if your 10km/h over the speed limit it was like a 20$ fine.

Canada pwns

Depends on where you are in Canada - some areas are more like $100 for 10km/hr over. Of course that where I just happened to get pulled over.

Gee whiz, Sara-you gotta stop giving that little black bomb her head.

Isn't the image enough?

I have just received a fucking speeding ticket.....3 points and 60 quid (I now have 6 points on my licence)


The annoying thing about all of this is that I was caught in Staffordshire on the A51. I am not familiar with the road....it is a very large wide and fast road and I was doing 50 mph which I thought was well under the speed limit....

It would have been if I hadn't been caught out by one of those nice litte 60 to 40 traps....the bastards.

It really annoys me that the cameras don't display what the speed limit is on them. To me, this is as bad as when the cameras used to be hidden. The rules changed disallowing that (most of them are now painted bright yellow), but quite often you're not sure if a particular section of road is 40 or 50.

I agree, speed cameras suck!

Also I hate traffic-light cameras, the number of times I've had to emergency-stop because I don't want to chance going over on amber...

You find yourself getting slower and slower as you approach the lights, expecting them to change, which of course they eventually do when you reach about 5 miles an hour... and if you had carried on at your original speed you'd have been OK...

Most places in UK you can get away with 10% over the limit, however it depends upon the Police Force whose area your in..
