Been Caught Speeding In A Berlingo ?

[strapup]

HIYA ALL, :huh:

 

SPEEDING TICKETS, ANY BODY KNOW WHAT THE FINES ARE/OR POINTS ?

 

BEEN CAUGHT GOING TO WORK 42MPH IN 30MPH ZONE ( MAIN ROAD) BY A MOBILE POLICE CAMERA :D

 

"BEEN CAUGHT SPEEDING IN YOUR" BERLINGO" THAT WILL BE THE JOKE DOWN THE PUB NOW ! :(

 

I HEAR YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET OFF WITH THESE ANYBODY BEEN THERE AND DONE THIS ? ;)

3 points and £80 odd quid (If I remember correctly about the fine)

 

I was also caught by a mobile camera on a 30 mph dual carriageway with barriers both sides and no pavement (nowhere for a pedestrian to be within 50 yards of the road).

 

What muppet gave that a 30 limit.

 

Slightly off topic, I think it's about time we adopted a 130kmh motorway speed limit (call it 85mph) but then enforce it rigidly.

 

At least the motorway/roadworks average speed (SPECS) cameras can't have me when I'm on the bike as they use forward facing ANPR.

 

Since 2000 I haven't had a completely clean licence - despite it being clean for the 20 years before that.

 

By the way, never mind the kudos of being done for speeding in a Blingo - I was once done for speeding at 96mph in a Skoda (and it certainly wasn't a Fabia VRS !)

:( yep, i got done for the outrageous crime of travelling at all of 81.01 miles per hour on the m6, in a 70mph limit !!! by one of those mobile tax collection vans parked on an overhead bridge.. three lane motorway minimal other traffic early in the morning . 3 points and a £60.00 tax charge :D still i suppose i was lucky considering the number of times i have travelled that same stretch of road on my old gsxr1100 motorbike at ummm, something over 80mph :huh: ;) .

I got done for 37mph in a 30 limit 3 points and 60 quid and that was on a fixed camera pointing towards me. (not paying attention)...

Good question - and you have my sympathy. On the A9 between Perth and Inverness there is a contraflow section with a 30 mile limit at the moment. Very straight, very empty, no pedestrians within miles. Not many vehicles doing 30 or anywhere near it. Couldn't figure out why someone decided that it should be 30 mph.

My mate got caught speeding last year in his C3 1.4HDi Desire. He was doing 85mph in a 70mph. £60 fine and 3 points.

Got here theres certain conditions the police have to meet to get you dont on mobile cameras. They MUST wear the bright jackets and the car must be in good view. And a few other things if they didnt do that your ticket cant count as they broke there regulations. If the police are going to break there own rules so can we!

I got caught crossing a solid white line in the road 4 years ago while overtaking a tractor just before they became broken lines. It was a straight road and could see for a long distance.

 

Copper said that as there was a layby further down the road, someone could be pulling out.

 

£60 and 3 points.

 

Thanks a lot mate. :rolleyes:

Take a look in the highway code and you will see that there is an exemption from the solid white line rule when overtaking agricultural vehicles :P

 

I do believe you have been well and truely done :P

There was a crafty speed trap when I was down in Weston Super Mare. There was a white Ford Galaxy parked outside a garage wth the boot open and when I got closer I could see the speed gun and when I came by the side It had Safety Camera Partnership on the side. Sneaky gits.

HI GUYS

 

JUST SENT THE CHQ OF TO THE MOBILE TAX COLLECTOR (TRAFFIC CRIMINAL COMMAND UNIT)

 

£60 PLUS 3 POINTS

 

 

 

THINK ITS A JOKE "NOT" THEY SAY THIS IS A CONDITIONAL OFFER, IF I HAD'NT PAID I ( WELL THE WIFE) GOES TO COURT AND LOOKING AT UPTO £1000 FINE.

 

 

WHY IS IT THEY ASK YOU WHOS DRIVING THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THE OFFENCE, SURELY THIS IS INCRIMINATING YOURSELF.

THEY SAY THEY HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE AND OFFENCE BUT YOU NEVER SEE THEM UNLESS IN COURT ! HENCE MAYBE A £1000 FINE.

 

WHAT A LOAD OF OLD B@@@@@KS . NO WONDER PEOPLE GO VANDALISING SPEED "TRAPS" SORRY CAMERAS.

 

I SEE TOP GEAR A WHILE BACK, THEY HAD GORDON RAMSEY ON, REMEBER ANYBODY ? HE MENTIONED ABOUT JUST WRAPPING THE CAMERA IN CLING FILM, THEREFORE THE LENS IS KNACKERED AND NOBODY WHO QUESS ITS BEEEN TAMPERED WITH. LOL

 

I NOW HAVE SAT NAV ON MY BLINGO, MAYBE MY WIFE WILL USE IT AS ITS GOT THE LASTEST SPEED CAMERA LOCATIONS ON THEM.

 

IF ANYBODT INTERESTED IN ALL CAMERA LOCATIONS, FIXED AND MOBILE, RED LIGHT ETC, THESE CAN BE DOWN LOADED FROM THE BELOW SITE FOR A FEE OF £2.00, I FOUND IT USEFUL.

 

 

IVE GOT MY SECOND SERVICE DUE NEXT MONTH, MORE EXPENSE, BUT AT LEAST THE PRICE OD DERV IS DOWN 87.9 PER LITRE LOCAL FOR ME. I FOUND A WEB LINK WHICH WILL EMAIL YOU THE CHEAPEST PRICE IN YOUR AREA IF YOU REGISTER (FREE) CHECK IT OUT.

If they have Photo's they have to provide them to you by law mate.

 

Did you read the pepipoo site?

 

Would have explained everything to do and if you could have got away with it.
