Check out Pepipoo and go down the PACE route.

Somehow I've never been done, despite being pulled over a few times.

I of course have never lost a police car on my bike ever.

Me neither. Although (purely in the interests of scientific research you understand

) I happened to notice that 2 wheels > 4 wheels with blues & twos going in heavy traffic. Until you come to traffic lights.

And my Mum recently got flashed - they'd moved the 30 mph limit back about 1/4 of a mile and put a camera right behind the sign. The limit the other side of the sign is 40, and the only thing between the old and new positions of the sign is a few fields so there's no argument that it is for safety reasons.

At any rate, the 10% thing only features in the Association of Chief Police Officers guidelines on speed enforcement. There is absolutely nothing that forces them to adhere to those guidelines. Brunstrom might be head of the ACPO, but he sure as hell doesnt follow the guidelines...

Oh right, I didn't realise that

No we haven't. We're law abiding citizens

I've collected a grand total of 6 points from the Welsh police... bastards!

93 in a 70

- Was quite proud. I didn't think the 306 DT would even go that fast

80 in a 70

Apparently North Wales police issue around 850 speeding tickets a day!

This year they contributed a massive 62% of total recorded speeding offences throughout the UK.

Accidents in North Wales however haven't dropped this year, infact they've increased by 3%.

Just goes to show really.

Of course, how could I forget?

I really don't know how I've managed to not get any points up to now. I abuse the throttle on the bike something chronic (I hit the limiter in 5th last time I rode) and I'm not exactly a slow driver when I'm on 4 wheels. Guess it helps that I'm sensible about where I speed.
