Can anybody advise on speeding fines?
Posted by: TomK on 06 December 2003
For the second time in 6 months my wife has been caught by speed cameras. Exactly the same place and speed (41 in a 30 limit). She was fined £60 last time. Does anybody have any idea what she should expect this time? She argues with a perfectly straight face that she can't be expected to drive and watch for speed limit signs at the same time! Needless to say things are a bit tense in the house at the moment.

Steve,
Staffordshire is full of such drivers. They pull out in front of you from a side road and crawl infront of you. Some actually obey the thirty limit which is not a bad thing, but there is nearly always a tail light or brake light out. You reach the national speed limit sign and after about half a mile the speed gradually starts to creep up to 45.
Regards,
Steve.

Steve,
You'd have liked one I encountered on the way home tonight. 20-25mph in the NSL (slowing for the corners) and then sped up to 30mph in the 30 limit once they were under the street lights!
F*cking Micra of course...
Regards
Steve

My In-Laws live near Amanford which seems plagued with this type. The usual "oh deary me, a bend!" brigade, slam the breaks on, slow to 20 and then hit the one straight in the county speed up to 55 and accelarate if you try to overtake. We refer to them as Ammonites amongst other things.
