Totally missed it, if I remember the camera warnings are pretty soon or possibly even before the junction I came out of :/

I'm looking at Pepipoo and thinking it will probably be a 3point & £60, its too fast for the offer of a speed awareness course and using Pepipoo's suggestion of submitting a PACE statement would probably mean going to court with a 50:50 between 3 points & £100+ or getting off, I'm not sure its worth the gamble, the money doesn't bother me, its going to court in Essex thats the pain.

Your old points shouldn't prove to be a problem. Although they remain on your licence for 4 years but they only count for the purposes of totting up for 3 years so have effectively expired.

It's pretty well out in the open, although it was dark and wet when we left Karyns to come back home so it's easily missed :/

Yes, thanks, I am now fully aware of its location! I have a special piece of paper to refer to and at the time noticed a bright light in my rear view mirror.

I've been done doing 46 in a 30 before, 3 points and £60 fine.. I honestly wouldn't worry about it Matt

When I was done doing 75 in a 50 ( on the motorway ) I got a court summons and plead guilty by post

I got 6 points and £120 fine

Bad luck

They actually took that camera away for a while as it was where there's now a junction. We all hoped it wouldn't come back as it's a nasty one, on a downhill stretch and there are IIRC some trees there that cover it until you're not far from it.

Don't ever recall hearing of an accident there to justify the damned thing in the first place...

Zirax · 06-01-2007, 17:55

Sorry Matt that was less than tactful.

Would this be a bad time to mention Will hitting 80 when driving me to the station on monday afternoon?

Yes?

Tough

*loves Will's hairdryer*

I didn't get to have a ride in the hairdryer

Although I did ride Will (and was worried about breaking his back

)
