Two more days to go
« on: 24 April 2021, 20:33:27 »
A week last Tuesday, I was driving behind a Hyundai i10 (hateful little car) at around 25mph, for around half a mile. There was steam coming out of my ears and, as soon as I saw the slightest gap, I was past it. Straight into the jaws of cameravan man. I looked down to see 43mph staring back at me. I was pissed off at that, but even more pissed off at the thought of the driver of the mobile roadblock wetting herself with glee.
Anyway, no NIP yet, 11 days and counting. If it doesn't arrive, this will be three times in a row, although 43 is definitely the highest transgression.

Presumably it was a 30 limit, so if the speedo was 43, that likely to be 40-41mph, which I think is beyond the threshold to be offered a patronisation course.

Hanging is too good for you. I can't condone breaking the speed limit. :)

Last time I got done, I thought I'd got away with it, but the NIP plopped through the letterbox at the last possible moment.  ::)

I got done in 1984, copper said I was doing 100 mph so I agreed with him, after i got read my rights they asked how fast I was actulayy going as they couldnt catch me, the only other thing on that road whilst i was on it was a Z1300 that passed me like I was in slow motion.

The good old days eh when I was young and stupid.(Saying that I never miss behaved or raced other traffic)

It depends on the force. The highest is 10% + 9mph. So 42mph in a 30 and that'll be a certain 42, not an indicated 42. I don't know what the lowest is and I seem to remember 1 police force refuses to say publically.

Two. The day of the offence is Day Zero, not day 1.

Correct, but I was mistaken on the day of the alleged offence, it was the Monday. One more day to go.
