60p in T. You can share them with me mhoc:)

Can't put up my T shop as numbers are missing again:o from the bottom of the receipt.
Had a zillion coupons which were all accepted including 4 pizza ones at £1.40.

A £30 shop down to £6.95 and got £7.79 back due to the pizzas, fairy platinum washing up liquid and Fairy orange dishwasher tablets comparing £6 v £3 to A..

And you do constant 40 in 60mph zones. They (i.e. 'the normal people') go too slow - and irritatingly so - when the speed limit is straight 60 and straight road - I suspect no-one knows what the 'national speed limit' sign means (or even knows it is called that) - I feel like creating a poster (written backwards to be seen in people's mirrors) - "IT'S A 60 MILES PER HOUR LIMIT" and holding it up at the front of my windscreen when I am stuck behind someone doing 40. Had a lorry yesterday, on 60 mph A road, did forty for several miles (no opp. to pass) - then, eventually, oh, on the entry to the city, there was a 40 mph sign. Now - I wonder why that 40 mph sign was there? Might it be the speed limit had changed? Wonder why all the signs for the last half hour were a bit different?!?

They keep at constant 40 throughout.




I know nothing to do with moneysaving (unless I add that not going at the speed limit can often save fuel - no need to be doing over 3 revs or whatever it is called:o) - I sometimes on dual carriageways, go up to 55-60 rather than 70, because 70 wastes fuel that way - obviously I vary (or overtake and do so more than 60/69) if there is something behind me (I'd go a bit faster if I had a car behind me and another was overtaking me, so that the car behind couldn't pull out and it was dangerous for me to stay at 60) - and of course I ensure I'm in the far left lane if I'm not going to do the full speed limit.

Savvy, I know you've got aspergers and therefore your thuoght process can be a little different to others! I'm just trying to understand the above two quotes from you that I've highlighted, as I find them quite curious when you've talked about being such a stickler for speed limits and "following the rules".

You talk about your frustration about a lorry going 40 in a 60 zone (I take it you are aware that there are different speed limits apply to lorries than cars?).

Yet you then talk about going 55-60 in a 70 zone.

Surely this is the same thing as what the lorry is doing?

The question isn't meant to be offensive, so I hope you don't take it that way, I'm generally curious!

I was told on the course I went on for going through a red light...
Yes u do get a ticket but only if the camera doesnt see the emergency vehicle.. so if the emergency vehicle is in the picture then its ok..
but then if not... its an arguable situation!!

Don't know about ambulances, but for police cars in our area, when going through anywhere with a speed camera or red light camera that is likely to be activated, they call up on the radio so it can be added to the incident log. Therefore if a member of public was given a ticket for moving out of their way, then is a record of the camera being activated and the reason why.

I have no idea what happens if people do get tickets, and I'm a police officer! Traffic is definitely not be forte though, and being office based is not something I have dealt with for years (luckily!).

Coming back from Ts, I stopped at the lights (monitored by a camera)_.An ambulance pulled up behind me with lights flashing so me and another car went through and pulled over in front of the other lanes to let it past. Worried now I'll get a fine and points! :mad:

assuming the ambulance also went through the light while red. their photo would also be taken. so if you got a ticket the evidence should be available.

Come on all of you. A is closed now...get yourselves back home:)
