Where's this? I'm round Parr everyday. Never noticed it before. What road's it on? I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. :!

It's for the best; if you'd been infront of this joker (betrayed) he'd have hit you.

did they miss the cup of tea in your hand?

LOL exactly what i was thinking! Although you should be alright if your taxi driver mate was telling the truth, they were probably calibrating the goldmine oops i mean cameras, and if they couldnt have got a clear picture of your number plate then they dont really have any evidence so no crime effectively. But worst case scenario you get 3 points and a 60 quid fine, I got one on friday 13th of october, bastards got me right where a road changes from 40 to 30, and me being me i didnt do some emergency braking to reduce my speed by 10mph! silly me eh? my insurance company hasnt bumped my renewal price anyway, probably because the police are taking the piss these days and giving out points left right and centre.

:o well don't no what you mean by that?? + i would rather get done for tailgating then 3 points mate!:thumbs:




Tailgating is classed as driving without due care which is a 3 pointer or dangerous driving which is even more


And ironically more likely to cause an accident:rolleyes:

No. It's 14 days plus postage for your average NIP however it can be issued at anytime within 6 months if there is a good reason.

does any one no what the accurate speed of about 38-40mph (on the van clocks) in a merc sprinter van (05 plate shape long wheel base) i was doing around 38-40mph towards a speed camera van in a 30 zone :mad: i hope am wasn't over :boggle: they done the hide and seek trick!!! :mad:

+ luckily i was sitting on a old mans back bumper ( fiat punto :look: ) so hopefully they got him not me :thumbs: FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!:D

+ it didn't have the back black windows down so does that mean it was working?? cause they normally hang a bit out the back of the van:boggle:
