kash_b Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 it was on a dual carriageway 66 in 40 Quote
Rich Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I swear those things are as in-accurate as stevie wonder playing darts... Quote
StarletRick Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 if it was 40 because of road works. youre toast mate. Quote
paul w Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Best advice you'll get is slow the hell down! A 40 dual carrigeway is most likely in a built up area or has roadworks on it. Try and fight it and i bet you'll end up geting shafted royally! There's no real excuse for speeding in those circumstances but you're gonna learn that when they load your licence with a few points,probably a nice fine and the insurance rise that comes as standard.

RobSR Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 they were a few things you could do....but it may of been if it was with a radar gun not a laser one supposedly if its a radar one, and the operator of it had their moblie phone on, you could get away with it as the radiowaves from the phone get 'screw' the reading up.....Theres a massive book you can buy on avoiding stuff like this aswell by the way ;)Another bit of advice, buy a laser/radar detector...

scutch0 Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 you can ask to see the calibration sheet for the equipment, as (i think) they should be calibrated once a week, the same goes for the gatso's.if it wasn't calibrated that week then you may be able to get away with it. but if it is, then just take it mate, you can only fight it to a point, even then if you do get off the points they could try to get you for dangerous driving if you were driving erratically. (ive seen it happen a few times in extreme cases) Quote
sam_turbs Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 i got done for speeding 55 in a 30 i got sent to court got done 110 pound fine 6 points on my licence it messes you right up because when your young starlets aint cheap to insure and even more so when you got 6 points. so good luck mate if you get three point you will be all good or try and ask them to send you on a driver awareness course.GOOD LUCK BUD!! ;) Quote
Sparky Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 If its roadworks you will be come right down on...I know Quote
djsix66 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 if all else fails offer a skint buddy to take the points for cash?? i just sold 3 points at 100 pound per point,a weeks wages down the pan but hey im not banned!!theres people out there that will take em for you.its finding that person! good luck mate Quote
SiCaln Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 not the best thing to write on a public forum! Quote
djsix66 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 not the best thing to write on a public forum!well when was the last time ya seen a copper drivin a starlet?? Quote
Nanglebadger Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 thats not the point genius!!!!!!the point si was makin was that the poilce regulary view forums such as this, and comments like that will only attract their attention! say they see that as havin been posted under your user name, and then next week u put pics of your car up with the reg plate or somethin else they can trace your car by, like a house number and street name in the back ground, it wont be us they'll be watchin for on the roads after that will it! genius!Phil.

SiCaln Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 thanku gentleman - the point has been proved too many times on youtube and forums don't run the riskand if thats your thoughts on road safety then you should have been banned Quote
djsix66 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 calm down!!no need to get all c.s.i about it,im sure the police have much more intresting work to look into than tyring to determine the reg number of my car.fuckin hell... Quote
Nanglebadger Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 u would think that yes, like catchin proper criminals, but no, they do check out forums like this, and the whole youtube thing is all part of the same idea.thats y we often watch wot we post up on here, just incase the wrong person happens to view it, would be typical bad luck lol!Phil.

Mikey Jay Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 That, and we like to maintain a good reputation for the site Quote
SiCaln Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 good way to make an entrance on to the site tho bravo! Quote
StarletRick Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 the amount of people that have been caught out on forums/youtube bragging about how fast their car is is huge. if you are going to drive like a cunt, dont brag about it. and secondly, dont post here. we have a good rep on this site and dont need bell ends ruining it. as Si said, if your view on safety is "pay someone else off" then you deserve to get caught.
