quote: Horrible road for getting busted on mate, there is always at least one mobile speed trap between Stevenage and Hitchin on the 602. And im afraid that if it was the white renault van that im thinking of then before your 14days is up you will be receiving 3points and a £60 fine :( | |

14 days for a Notice of Intended Prosecution, after that if they still issue you with a summons your solicitor will have it thrown out no probs. | |

Well they were sitting in a renault van, right up in a lay-by (almost in the bush), just after a sweeping corner, where the 50 dropped to a 40. | |

quote: no - u dont understand. i said the new 17"s are 2.2% SMALLER, meaning it will actually be a good thing. ie: the speedo will over read It was only on Tuesday - so i'm prob gonna get something through next week i reckon. Its 14 days is the latest it can reach me right? Matt | |

At 48mph, on 17"s (2.2% smaller than my 65R14 rims), what sort of speed do you believe i was actually doing (as read by a police radar gun) |
