Was just seeing if anyone else has been in a similar situation to me

pepipoo.com would be the obvious place to join for advice.

Ahh okay never heard of that site, thanks.

Maybe you could blame it on the Yaris only having brakes on the front for the first ticket, and the M3 making you feel like a driving God for the second?

And the lesson here...?

Look out for speed cameras!

The vans aren't exactly discreet in their size and signage! They sometimes hide behind bushes but rarely is it too late to suddenly slow down, unless your not paying attention (easily done).


I'm surprised though you haven't been absolutely slated on here for speeding and the fact your young.

Worse mistakes are made.

Your instead of you're.

Some idiot the other day even suggested a spark plug problem on a diesel car.

We were all young and daft once.

I'd say it's rare that they haven't got you before you see them. Most of us speed, be a bit hypocritical, and as it was 30-60 and 60-30 there could have been quite an area in the 30 that was safe to be slightly over the limit, before houses/junctions/pavements for example. Who knows.
If I were to slate him, it would be for being 18 and speeding by such a small amount

That's got to be a wind up, like no rear brakes on a Yaris?!

Or driving around with his eyes shut. Either that or trying to look up the bird in the back's skirt in the rearview ;-)

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Too right, before speed cameras every thing I had was driven flat out. I was lucky not to be disqualified by the time I was 21.

You never grow out of that!
The other night leaving Aldi I was eyeing some bird up and went over the corner of the pavement, of course I had to keep going to make it look intentional. Bang, bang bang bang, poor car...
