Apparently caught doing 73 in a 50 according to their radar gun.

The second he got out of the car, he cautioned me, so I didn't see the point of saying anything else.

Waiting for a FPN or whatever, do they still have to be served within 14 days as per NIPs, or is it different?

Was it one of those clucking hay 'recently reduced' former national speed limit roads? We got one down near me, a stretch of the A610 that is literally 3 miles of straight open dual carriageway that has been reduced from NSL to 40 in parts. Bacon patrol it 9-5 MON-FRI in their unmarked Skoda collectin' dem taxies.

They probably saw the car, thought it was a female driving, so pulled you over in hope of a blowjob.

I hope you licked your lips whilst he was cautioning you.

No. He gave you a verbal NIP at the roadside, so he's got 6 months to do you for it now.

That is Alpha 9 territory there... summons shit?

I got followed and subsequently pulled over for doing 107 in a 70. They issues me with some paperwork there and then, me being lazy didn't pay until the last day.

They refunded me, didn't give me points/fine/ass rape and returned my licence to me as they had cocked up somewhere down the line.

Cross fingers, hope for the best Thumbs Up

They were pew-pewing every vehicle. I was on a demo bike, and they still checked it over with a fine tooth comb. It was only 500 miles old. Laughing

They said it's not down to them, but it'll probably be 3 points and a fine. They don't reckon it'll be speed awareness.

If it's a summons for these allegations I'll prepare to look at shoes, and put on my special sad face.

Knew I should have asked for their certificate of calibration at the roadside. Even though we all know how inaccurate they are against bikes despite the Home Office "approving" them for use.

Have to wait and see. Annoyed it doesn't have to be within 2 weeks.

Meaning?

they where pointing the radar gun at every vehicle?

against the rules for them iirc?

they should only point it at people who they think are speeding not everyone.

Dont take my word for it i think i remember borg saying this somewhere?


They're meant to use the radar gun to confirm that a vehicle is speeding yes, however we all know that's not exactly how it works in the real world. They'll just deny or feed the CPS some line.

25 over is court, you were clocked 23 over so it will be points and a fine. Not the best outcome but better than a trip to the magistrates.

Yeah mate, I live in Eastwood about 5 mins from you. Thumbs Up
Unmarked car definitely patrols that stretch. Last I heard it was a skoda but I'm sure they mix it up lol.

It is absolutely bollocks indeed what they have done to that stretch of road. The rumble strips just the icing on the cake.

At least they haven't put average speed or gatsos on the way up to Matlock yet. Karma

Laughing Quality reply. Karma

Is your only option to take it now then?

Surely one cop's word/caution isn't enough to secure a conviction?

He will have scamera evidence also, but yes. A copper will probably win against a big bad biker.

Well I can choose to go to court, but chances are the fine/points will be more as they'll just reckon I'm taking the pish.

And it's been "confirmed" by the radar/laser gun. I didn't self incriminate I might add.

FJ12GXF = Dark blue Range Rover
FJ12GXG = Black Range Rover (Armed Response Vehicle too)
FJ13AD* = Black Volvo Estate
FJ***** = White BMW Touring
FJ09*** = Silver Octavia (not sure they still use this)

There's also a Volvo C30 and an Impreza on the fleet but can't recall much about these.

Remember the observations guys.

Lazer guns have a beam spread of about 4 feet per 1000 feet of range*, it is not the pinpoint that they claim, in my case the solicitor was all set to discredit the reading because at the range (1570Ft) the beam was over 6' across and could not be focused on a flat part of the bike.

What range did they get you at?



*This figure varies dependent on the lazer used, in my case it was 4' for every 1000'

No idea, Conditional offer has come through.

The number plate on it is wrong.....is this one for peppipoo, or does any know enough about the system to know if this means I can fight the allegations?

Nope, not me. I can't think of any reason why they couldn't pew-pew everyone.
