yea it was definitely a mobile one as there are no static cameras on that section of the a5. I dont remember seeing a van but I'm just glad it wasn't over a ton!!

Probationary is the first 2 years of getting your first new licence, if you've been driving for more than that already then you are fine

You can't argue it at all. The last time I got caught, I doubted it alot as I remember seeing the van parked up and pretty much had my face on the speedo which was reading 25mph and I was stuck behind 2 cars driven by old biddies also

I kept asking for evidence as I just didn't believe it and was seeking advice off solicitors who said it's almost impossible to get out of. The police cocked up the paperwork as they forgot they extended my "pay up" deadline, which I ended up doing in the end to avoid the hassle of court and chances where that I would lose.

Few months later I get the summons, I went to court and I argued my point explaining the situation when I was "caught" speeding but due to the fact I'd already admitted it the only thing they could do was give me the original fine and points as it wasn't my fault I'd got as far as court in the first place. I found them pretty fair tbh, £45 fine, £15 victim surcharge (makes me laugh that tbh, victim?) and 3 points.

At best you can keep demanding evidence in the hope of a cock up, but easier option is just to bite your tongue and accept there's not really any way out of it.

Rambling on abit...I've always wondered the accuracy of the handheld ones (assuming it was). They had this big deal a few year ago about if the laser being inaccurate if you moved it along the object and I was wondering if the laser was pointing at the rider rather than the bike, chances are the rider may be moving around a bit. Could this give a false reading?

I dont like speed cameras, and have been caught by one.. but they have a good purpose. mostly they catch out shit drivers rather thn speeders.

but anyone shit enough at driving no not notice a bright yellow permanent camera, Im quite happy they get a ticket... same thing if there are warning signs, like your road.


sneaky cameras I dont like. I would be fucking awesome as a traffic copper tho. good thing Im not

the only thing worse than the speed cameras are the parking enforcement cameras around westminster and the like, which do you for as much as thinking about stopping on a yellow line.

Got done for being parked on a double yellow at 3am in Westminster because I stopped to get a map out my topbox, they managed to get a shot of the bike where i'd walked down the road to check the street name and argued i'd left the bike there. Cunts.

Cost me £65 as well which is like arguing what I did was £5 more grevious a crime than speeding.

The sign here is kind of a clue?

If it clocked you at 86 I bet the speedo said 90 so you are a very naughty boy anyway.

There should never be "Safety Cameras" on NSL 70mph roads. You are not likely to find a kid in the road on the A5.

Best thing to do is to contact the camera partnership and ask what the threshold is for an FPN.
Be polite and don't bother with excuses, just be straight with them.

"Hi, I was caught speeding by a mobile camera on the ROAD/DATE @ 86mph, can you tell me what the likely outcome of this will be? FPN or reported to the Procurator?"

I was caught at exactly the same speed on the M74, i was worrying about it until i spoke to a mate who is a traffic pig and he told me to get in touch with them.
