And further to the discussion...

Just coming backt o work after dinner, Freeman St it's called, once the main shopping street in town, now occupied by druggies, mums pushing prams, stressing over missing their mock GCSEs, Betting and We Buy Gold shops, and to be fair some decent peope too. But it's a nightmarish drive, everyone on double-yellows, double-parking, the lot. Anyway, cruising merrily (not exceeding the speed limit I might add  ) when a guy in a Mk IV Astra SRi in solid black pulled out from a side street without indicating or looking. ABS cut in, and I stopped in time.

Wakes you up after a dull morning!

And driving past a camera van at an indicated 8/9 mph over the limit clearly shows how much attention you were paying

That accounts for his lack of attention/awareness when driving then.    The 20 year old girlfriend has knackered him out!!

What's age got to do with anything? I've seen some 50 year old stunners.

And some 20 year old mingers.

It doesn't really... if the driver is distracted or preoccupied then they shouldn't be driving at that point, whether it's by a phone on the floor, a girlfriend of any age or size, an unlit roundabout on a dual carriageway,  or an unknown theme park next to the motorway...

Human beings do things they perhaps shouldn't all the time... admit you screwed up, learn from it and move on...

And be grateful that you received no points for your inattention, rather than blaming the camera van/police for catching you

DBG...you have got to be living in Bracknell,because that's the sort of thing I see in copious amounts during my 5 hour shift driving a shuttle on a 10minute run from our  base to the station.The place is full of retards (with the exception of any OOFers of course ) but I do wonder how many people there have actually passed their driving test and not had it taken by 'someone else'  The situation is getting so bad for me that I have turned into 'white bus man' and I must admit I do intimidate the 'Driving Miss Daisies' as they drive down the middle of a 40MPH road at less than 30 MPH,also sick of the boy racers of whom proliferate throughout the area in their drug dealing money bought shiteboxes....mind you we do have to have organ donors..I suppose I'm going to pack the job in this summer and take a nice quiet retirement, and never  ...thank God for small mercies  have to go back to to the town again...Ohh! except the pound shop  to get spares for me Omega

....The place is full of retards and concrete (with the exception of any OOFers of course ) ....

Fixed that for you.
