Does anyone know how long it takes to be notified these days having had my photo taken on the A9 on the way home earlier? It's been so long (over 10 years) since my last indiscretion? :(

I think you can reduce the penalty points if you produce evidence of a carbon offset. ;) ;D ;D ;D

And dont forget to blame Nu Liebore -they had them all installed. :y ::) :D

A Guide to the A9 in Scotland
Perth to Inverness Road is the Gateway to the Scottish Highlands
Sep 16, 2008 Kevin Guthrie
The A9 passes through an array of different landscapes. The road also passes many interesting places and tourist locations, providing a pleasant break from driving.
The A9 stretches from Perth to Inverness, winding its way through some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. An important link between the Highlands and Lowlands, it is also popular with tourists. Along the road are many places worth stopping at to experience local culture and history.
should be a good photo. ::)
two weeks max.

It all depends on your speed whether they intend to prosecute you. I've always believed it was 10% +2mph. So if you went through a 30 zone at under 35 you'd be ok. I've never tired it, and never been caught by a speed camers. But without being too rude, how fast do you think you were going?
Can anyone confirm whether the 10% plus 2mph is correct?

My son, eejit that he is, has a photograph of himself and his Rover Kensington (Metro, to the rest of the world knows it....) proudly displaying his recently aquired speeding ticket for 73 mph southbound A9 in a 60 section.
Irony is, muppet is now realising that the kicker is the increased difficulty/premium due for insurance as an under 25 year old..... :-X ::)

Ahh. That'll be what I was doing last night. Sitting in a corridor in Berlin airport while my flight failed to generate any CO2 >:(, and then, when I finally arrived at Gatwick I drove home as fast as I could to minimise the time during which my Omega was polluting. :y

I believe the 10%+2 is the reccomendation of ACPO, and is usaully adhered to , but there isnt a legal obligation for enforcement agencies to do so. :-/

i've noticed the speedo usually reads about 10% higher than the satnav - i presume the satnav is more accurate :o

I concur. Wheel and Tyre size will play a part also.

There are still some coppers who will use their judgement and not throw the book at you for national speed limit plus 55. ;) :)

BJ, I say this with all the love and respect that I can muster but why not just keep to the speed limit?
Of course my comments could simply be the result of advancing years or prescription medication rather than concern for the traffic regulations:-/

first speeding "incident" i was stopped at 6am, summers day doing a ton on a clear, empty stretch of motorway in an f reg scirrocco - the cop who pulled me was a mate from school - i was his first collar on his first day on traffic ;D his boss gave me a lecture but let me off as a favour :-X :y

Zulu, I'm surprised at you! It must be the medication. The speed limits are as arbitrary as the vast majority of our laws which are borne from the thighs of bureaucratic harridans, having been fertilised by the sons of the Devil himself. >:(
That said, I don't want to get any points on my licence, so advice taken. :y

Sammy (god rest him) started life in Sandy Row and finished his days up the Donegal Rd. ;) :).......a loveable rogue would be a good description. When my Da was in the B specials he spent many a night chasing his brother in law Sammy in some stolen car or other. ::)
He would go out of his way to do anyone a good turn though. ;)
I could fill pages with the exploits he got up to :-X

you might be lucky, could have been out of film! Older ones that take shot of rear number plate and require fair distance are film based, so could be lucky!
If it was one that captures the front, then thats a digi one and your not going to be in luck

These little descrepencies the rozzers give you vary from force to force. some may give 10% + 2 others 8% + 2 etc.
I got cought twice in one week, and two weeks before that taking me to 9 points in a month :o All of these were by stealth/mobile units and not fixed cameras. All the stealth/mobile ones are digital now so the chances of 'no film' I would say are pretty much zero. Some of the static gatso's etc still use film and one may be lucky enough to catch one that's full of other speeders.
Since my influx of tickets I bought a Snooper.
-
if you dont get a ticket, this thread counts as a confession :y
-
Did the camera flash twice?? :-?
I was in London a few yrs back & went through an orange traffic light when the camera only flashed once & never heard from the police :y
U say u where doing approx 82mph when if memory serves me right its a single carriage lane road & the speed limit is 60mph - even a dual carriage way is 70mph so in a word or two ....... you are f**ked :o :o
