No warnings needed. 32 sounds tough. General guidelines are 10% plus 1 mph. Again generally. For a true 32 mph. Your speedo could be showing anywhere between 32 and 35.

Take the course.

Just been pinged for driving at 32 in a 30 zone coming home from work on Saturday morning @7am (not a speed camera, must have been cops hiding in the bushes).

I know what this will sound like.... but seriously? On a deserted stretch of road with no houses or anything around it?

They should be out catching the real criminals :D

 

I take it WYP don't adopt the 10% + 2mph approach then ? Anyway, you'll get a speed awareness course for it, unless of course you have previous in the last 3 years....

No, nothing at all. Ever in fact. Maybe that's why it's so irritating. :D

 

I recently was caught in a similar manner.

 

I felt just like you do.

 

I attended a speed awareness course with clenched teeth.

 

But oddly enough it was quite interesting and I did learn a few things.

 

I don't know whether that means I'm a better driver now.

Take the course JOC. You'll be with the steady Eddie over the speed limit drivers, rather than with the racers/headers.

 

Each time i have done the speed awareness course I have found it interesting.

Indubitably.

 

Personally I'd ban the lot of you.

Speed awareness course isn't too bad, but it costs you about the same as the fine would have. Only difference is you won't get the 3 points on your licence, once you complete the course (only lasts about 3 hours) then your record is wiped clean.

Mrs Phil went on a speed awareness course, at the end they asked what she'd learned

"To keep an eye out for mobile speed cameras" was her reply. Apparently they were not too impressed with her answer

My speed awareness course was ok but was all about speeding in town.

I was got doing 77mph on the A1 in Lincs. Nothing on the course taught me why that was an horrendous crime.

Unlike 32 in a 30. They made those people feel really bad. What were you thinking?

Do not fear; only BELIEVE

I'm not sure it; I think insurance companies now ask if you have attended a speed awareness course even if it didn't result in a conviction/points on your licence. I may be wrong though. :unsure:

Some do. 

 

Mine doesn't.

 

Gratias deo.

I think that's also because doing 77 on the A1 isn't actually that dangerous (assuming it was a dual carriageway) providing you leave enough distance, but most people don't.  Accidents are far more likely on low speed limit urban roads than they are on dual carriageways and the impact of speeding on accidents is massive on those urban roads, plus you're more likely to encounter a vulnerable road use (pedestrian/cyclist).

Absolute scandal. No doubt the daily mail and the #### will be on hand to ensure the phuckwits are told what their opinion on this should be.

Quite so, given that many many decades of Labour councils in the north have made it the mess it is today.

However, i'd cap the renovation expebditure at exactly £369 million and not one single penny more. No cost overruns whatsoever.

A touch of whataboutism there John. How about making the Saxe-Coburg-Gothas pay for it themselves?

My house is older than Buck Place who's going to pay for my roof turning? Oh yeah, I am, in fact I'm such a lovely bloke I'm gonna pay for Lizzie's renovations too, along with you and just about everyone on here.

Still, its democracy innit?

When I read this story earlier it made me more angry, more resentful and more saddened than anything I've read in a while.

 

I think it's partly down to being within a few miles of me.

Disgraceful trash these people are sadly we have them in abundance hear in Oz. The property next door to mine breeds Bulldogs on a very large scale (Puppy farm) & brags how he brings in 70k tax free per year breading the dogs.

It makes me furious it's not policed.

What do you mean exactly buy "roof turning" Phil? Not an expression I've heard before.

It a rant thread, so feel free to rant. My rant remains this: £369 million, not a penny more.No cost over runs, no delays.
