You bloody Welsh! (and your speeding tickets)

Just got through a speeding fine from North Wales police. Joy.

38 in a 30. £60 and 3 points.

Insurance renewal should be fun.

Well, I've joined the club I guess.

Sorry, but you should know by now that Welsh police are anal about speeding.

iCraig · 01-09-2006, 11:21

The odd thing was that my TomTom didn't pick it up, as it beeped and slowed me down for every Gatso I came across. Must of been a mobile camera disguised as a sheep.

Yeah they're obsessed about it. I figure it's the only way the welsh police can say they do anything

I speed right through Wales on every trip. I know where the cameras are and I keep a keen eye on the bridges. I guess I'll get caught one day but I'll worry about that then

Three points won't (or at least it shouldn't) affect your insurance.

*cough* motors *cough*

They affected mine, so I thought "sod it" and got another 3

All 6 of my precious points were picked up in Wales. I've seen more speed vans there than anywhere else in the country... bastards!

All 6 of mine were from moving house!

So, when I moved a couple of weeks ago I don't think I did above 25mph just incase

I'm suprised i wasn't caught at all since i travelled right through as much of wales as possible for the BBQ meet.

Those roads arent really policed apart from the A55 etc up at the top.

Had we come down the A49 then...
