monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) where and what time was this if you don't mind me asking?Are you asking me? It was on the 24th August just South of Penrith. Taken them a while to catch up with me due to me being in a hire car. There were two rozzer vans on bridges over the motorway within a couple of miles and I kind of expected to get done by one... Sucked because I'd just got back from Canada, having been delayed for 27 hours in Toronto thus missing my connecting flights thus having to hire a car to drive from Glasgow to Southampton with about 4 hours sleep in the previous 48 hours... fun.

huge Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 They've been hiding in the layby that way a few times now. I go that way every day, you should be fine as long as you were doing less than 80ish. The one to watch for on that stretch of road is a little further on by mcdonalds as there is often a car on the slip road hiding behind the trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Speed cameras are twats! Apparently, they're going to be implementing some new ones sometime in the near future, that instead of measuring your speed as you go through it, there'lll be two cameras a mile or two apart, which will measure how long it took you to get from one to another. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_C Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Logging onto my computer this morning and saw the headline about speed cameras giving 6 points instead of 3 if you are quite alot over the speed limit: BBC News ArticleNot looking good, though if you speed in a residential area (30-40) then you're stupid really, always the main focus of Police and speed cameras.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 how acuratte are tom toms to your speed thou?does anyone knowmy tom tom reads usually 5-6mph under my speedocheersOn a flat level road you can pretty much say that any GPS verified speed is virtually 100% accurate. You should find that your speedo over reads by around 8-10% so 32-33 at 30, 44 at 40, 54-55 at 50 etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
