Grandad.Malky Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 surely thats one mile inside. 30 + 3 + 2 = 35mph And yes, the margin is to allow for speedo error etc... If you don't know what the speed limit is, then remember your highway code and work it out, or get back home pronto and do some revision. That is what I meant; surly 34 in a 30 limit would have been worth contesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 From the nature of these posts I'd guess that some of posters have been speeding but just not got caught until now, so I'd say just think yourself lucky, stop moaning, pay fine and stick to limit in future:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 My wife was diving our van down a country road a few days ago at about 45, when we passed a police car tucked away off road in a 30 zone. Of Course, he came after us lights aflashing. He demanded the registration and her license, and took them back to his car to check them on the computer. He returned and told her they were on a special that day and not booking 65 year old Irishwomen. It works sometimes if you don't give the cops a bad time.

medusa Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 It's surprising the feelings that are brought up when threads posted by users who are no longer with us get dredged up, isn't it? Good to see viking's threads still around on SF though. And yes, getting caught is an occupational hazard of breaking the speed limit. Either make sure that you don't speed, or accept it and pay the fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manofstrad Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 It came through the other day, 38 in a 30 zone. I am not moaning by the way. I like most, have been quite fortunate, but 20 years is brill. 20 years! well done viking. I get them all the time but the thrill of driving my car the way it should be driven far outweighs the cost of a few tickets. The police keep stopping me even when I'm not speeding, usualy just to admire my motor. I have a pile of parking tickets that I get for parking on the double yellows near Nonnas but it's just too convenient to resist parking there while I nip in for a latte.
