Looks like a sniper!

Mmm, wonder what would happen if a driver saw that in the back and veered out of control due to shock etc; nice compo claim there!!

As Crabman says, Pepipoo is the place to get chapter and verse on fighting this.

As one of the veterans there (19 "wins" from 23 cases), I can tell you to be prepared for a long battle, possibly lasting many months, with all kinds of distortion of the law from the other side. But if your original assertion is right, and you weren't speeding, the videotape (not just a couple of still frames) should confirm this, and give you a just result.

You've been caught for speeding 23 times and not been banned??!!

No, only 3 of those alleged offences were mine, and in all three the police, when challenged, were unable to come up with the evidence, so I have zero points.

The others were all on behalf of various friends, relatives, and colleagues, and in the vast majority of cases I was successful in helping them get it thrown out.

No compo claim at all but a guaranteed charge of dangerous driving.

Not if they genuinely believed someone was there pointing a sniper rifle at them

Unfortunately there is no legal requirement for speed camera signs or any mobile units to have fluorescent yellow markings etc. The only legal requirement is for the speed limit signs to be correctly displayed.

Is that Martin Lewis holding the speed camera gun??

Suprised Joe Public even see's it as most cant see a bright yellow speed camera box, and that is something they are supposed to look out for.

A posting which clearly shows the contempt that some police officers have for the general public.

Probably explains why they can't be bothered to get their fat !!!!!! out of the canteen when there's a report of a burglary, or gangs of yobs vandalising property. Much easier and safer to target the middle classes.

In your warped little world don't the "lower classes" drive ? strange way you have of labelling people by class, does that mean lower classes which you clearly put other people in only walk and catch buses :rolleyes: .

Why is contempt to say that most drivers wouldnt even see the person in the back ?
