    Thankyou for the actual intelligent helpful answers. Anyone who has not EVER done 37mph in a 30mph zone is a liar. The point of this forum, I thought was advice. The keyboard warriors who have just put a smart !!!! comment, please don't waste other peoples time, feed one of your 10 cats and order your kebab.

    I do and when caught I will accept instead of asking for advice.

    Kebab sounds nice :beer:

    What exactly does "like slow down" actually mean?

    You can either slow down, stay at the same speed or accelerate.

    It's bad enough when you hear people talking and "like" seems to be used a couple of times in every sentence but why does that pointless use of the word need to be added to what people write?

    Probably the !!!!! on M4 by me 50mph average speed camera,, I best do 40mph :mad:

    Too seriously?
    Caught for speeding 3 times in as many months and one offence was them driving at 50% over the posted limit.
    If they have been caught this often, how many times do you think they have done it without getting nabbed?

    Sorry. I quoted the wrong message.

    As someone who worked with speed cameras and the prosecution service, can I just pop in to mention, in a non-judgemental way, that two camera snaps equals two contraventions and therefore two fines.

    It is not, NOT, one offence.....

    Thanks for that we'd never have worked it out without the input from a talivan operator.

    Did you not get the answer you wanted? If it helps, here you are:

    You're the victim of a grave injustice. Never mind treating it as one combined offence, you should be absolved of any guilt because you've only just been on a speed awareness course.

    Better now? I hope so, my kebab's going cold.

    That's not good enough, waht about the compensayshun for the trauma and distress caused to this innocent guilty party.

    I've never done 37 in a 30mph zone...been driving for 26 years.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
