Matt1878 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I pick my mate up for work at 7.30 in a morning and when i got there today there was no answer and he didnt answer his phone, but i waited 10 mins for him.By this point i thought im gonna be late for work so i best shoot. I get 15mins pay deducted if im 3 mins or more late.So i put my toe down a little and only at the last minute saw a mobile speed cam van thing... Im about 80% sure he got me. Pissed :@ big time, i wanted a nice clean license, doesnt look like thats gonna happen.Just fingers crossed i stuck the anchors on early enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 was the camera facing you? im sure they cant get you if they are facing the front of your car as its invasion of privacy but im not too shure so can someone confirm this??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 they got me from proper far way all depends how he had it set up you may be lucky apparently 3 points means nothing as sooooo many people have them hope you saved your ass do as i did bye a snooper lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yeah, it was a dude in the back of a van... on the prom so as you can imagine its bloody long road..I think it now depends on what range he had the camera set up for... if he was set up for a long distance, he got me doing like 50 Lol. But luckily for me, this time, there is like a dent in the road where some pipework was updated not too far from where he was , and i know where that is so i have to slow down alot to get over that alright.i guess ill find out in 2 weeks!! :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 it doesn't matter what way the cam is mate i got done with it facing me just asked me to confirm it was me driving id say they get your number plate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raffa_mk Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 ^^^^ LOL i'm due a lot of fucking prizes then LOL me too, always on the look out now, ive been in so many simular situations and most of the time the camera is setup to do a certain distance so they can also capture the person driving I think its a 2 week rule that if you dont get anything in the post within 2 weeks from the time you were caught speeding then your ok and you dont get points or a fine???

Raz Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 You can pay people to get points for you if you are so worried. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jham Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yea should be with u in 2 weeks, if its after that it doesnt coubt unless they can prove they sent it with the intention of it reaching you within 2 weeks, your lookibg at 3 point small fine and sp30 doesnt realy affect insurance now due to so many f*cking speed traps who foesny have an sp30 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stavros Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 If you was caught doing 42 or under you'll probably get offered a 'speed awareness' course if you havent been caught before. Obv speed varies on county, but im pretty certain this course offered nation wide now. You might get lucky matey, fingers crossed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
