[QUOTE="Howard150, post: 4665142, member: 30002"] Probably more in common than at first aparrent. My transgression was also 36 in a 30. Second camera 400 metres away from first at either end of parkland in a small town just near here......pass the first camera and it looks as though you are in the country ........ blinding flash just as you come back into the built up bit.....too late Ha Gotcha. £75. Or 3 points. Two years ago a bin lorry in our cul - de - sac occasioned £300 of damage to the near side rear quarter of my car whilst it was parked outside my house. When I took issue Leeds City Council came back to me immediately with ‘all our vehicles are fitted with CCTV covering the entire vehicle. Unfortunately on the particular day in question the camera was not working. Unfortunately the onus is on you to prove that our vehicle did occasion damage to yours tather than on us to prove it did not. So. In the real world - pity it was a speed camera rather than a bin lorry as there is a good chance the camera would not have been working. As in all things limits are there for a reason. My view though is that within that limit there is actually a speed that is safe and your vehicle runs economically and happily at. Good for your wallet and good for you - arriving not much after you would have done by rushing and with your head on right. One of the banes of many a truck driver is the 7.5 tonners - especially 7.5 tonne horse boxes - all passing you at inordinate speeds, many of them driven by young and inexperienced drivers, 75% of them overweight and a lot of em in’t fast lane.
