    Sorry it won't let me post links yet, if I'm ever caught out accidently over the limit I'll be returning my form filled out and unsigned
  • Yeh I read about this. Seems 'too good to be true'. Surely they've closed this one up by now? It can't be that easy to get off??!

    Ruth just about everyone speeds at some point or another, either over taking or in a rush it's just a fact and some get caught some don't.

    My parents have all got speeding convictions and all hard working professionals, it's putting cameras in so called black spots, there is one near us on a straight bit of road probably about two miles long clear visibility yet they put a mobile van there and I've never heard of any accidents there. It's the safest place to over take its where my parents got caught both times doing just over 70mph over taken a lorry safely and quickly

    They can't legally force you to sign any document, so it's unlikely

    Kaimoo: How old is that extract from the Western Mail?
  • Please don't pay any attention to speeding cameras. I've been assured by others on this forum that bad drivers pay attention to them at the expense of their driving.

    The best thing you can do is just ignore them.
    Q: What kind of discussions aren't allowed?
    A: It goes without saying that this site's about MoneySaving.

    Q: Why are some Board Guides sometimes unpleasant?
    A: We very much hope this isn't the case. But if it is, please make sure you report this, as you would any other forum user's posts, to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.

    This ^^

    I'd say 90% (1 in 10) of drivers can't do 30mph, it's 40 or nothing. These are the same people who claim to be safe drivers and get all speed preachy when they passed in a 60 limit.

    So when people preach about speeding, I just know it's only a matter of time before they themselves get caught.
