Speeding fine help

"emphasising":rotfl:Or even empathising?

Nothing "underhanded" about what the police did. Presumably you could see the sign well before it came into effect so had plenty of time to slow to that speed? 45mph is well over the posted limit and your speedometer would have been reading almost 50mph when you entered the new zone. That's quite some mistake.

If someone had crashed into you on that road and you knew they were doing 45mph in a 30mph zone you'd have been on here creating merry hell about it and wondering why the police weren't enforcing the rules.

Hi it was a £100 fine and 3 points. The road was a 50 but it went down to a 30 and I was slowing down but the police can was right behind the 30 snapping anyone who d isn't slow down by the time they got to the sign. Now I understand it's my fault because I should have been going 30 by the time I got to the sign.

I'd like to thank those who helped out. But also point out that you shouldn't be so judgemental. I have been on sick pay all year due to having an ovary mass removed while pregnant then followed by maternity. I almost died twice. I haven't had the money for eating out of cafe or tea and cakes. Some of us are really struggling.

Also although it was my fault and I accept that, it was a genuine mistake. We all make mistakes. So a bit of emphasising would have been nice.

Lastly the police can wasn't there to catch trouble makers or people chasing their cars down there he was parked behind the 30 sign in a bush trying to make a quick buck which I feel is underhanded.

Anyway rant over with. I'm not returning to this thread again.

So underhand how the police catch those doing wrong. Only by those that get caught mind, but still.:T

What possible relevance is the fact that the criminal was a young mum? Do they have some sort of immunity?


Anyway, some would say that if the police officer(s) in question were any good at tackling knife crime they wouldn't be working in traffic.

Indeed. Until the young mum in question, travelling at 50% over the speed limit, runs down somebody's little darling. Then his or her young mum will take to the streets saying that the police should "do something about speeding drivers".

What's worse, being killed by a criminal with a knife or a criminal speeding?;)

The OP received a NIP, which almost certainly means that she wasn't stopped at the scene. So the likelihood is that she was snapped by a civilian operator, not a police officer.

Knife, definitely.

The young Mums as you put it are not excepted from the rules, some other speeding young mum could have injured ….the list goes on.
