    I was on the motorway yesterday for a good few hundred miles.

    When I left home, it was clear and sunny so I drove at around 85-90mph.

    Over an hour later, it was starting to darken so I slowed down to 70mph. Then the hail and rain started so I slowed to 50mph, perhaps slower.

    The car in front of me when the hail started continued at 70mph.

    Is 70mph in hail safer than 90mph on a clear dry road?

    well that all depends keith, were you sober or was the guy doing 70 in the hail drunk. that seems to be what this has turned into :confused:

    Yes, but they've received nothing. I don't know what relevance there is in the fact that he's forewarned the garage that they may receive a NIP. All he can do is to wait. And if it turns out that the NIP is late, then there is no case to answer.


    Thats what has confused the hell outta me lol :D

    Indicated 60 in a 50 is probably just under the trigger limit of 57mph in reality anyway :)

    I see mine and one of harveys' posts has been deleted. Nice to know we wound at least one person up.

    Didn't realise mentioning speeding would get posts removed on here. Watch out nomoneytoday!

    The original NIP would have been issued with 14 days of the offence and sent to the leasing company. They would have 28 days to supply the name and address of the person driving and the Police then have another 14 days in which to issue that named person an NIP.

    It would therefore technically still be possible to hear even though it has already been 6 weeks.

    It's good to know that the mods will still randomly delete things on a topic but do not let you know which rule you've breached.

    Maybe they don't let us know cos its wastes the keyboard out. ie money saving...

    Also having posts deleted makes the other posters comments make no sense lol...

    Oh the joy of paranoia induced by camera enforcement.

    I don't remember seeing a GATSO so I wonder what it might have been?'
