Oh well, 42 in a 30 11 o'clock at night, the 30 is a duel carrigaway  with barriers either side and no houses around, had one of those hand held speed guns, asked if its been calibrated, he said only needs doing once a year ? and he was on his own too.
Can i do anything or just pay it.

Yeah, was a hand held gun at night.
My first 3 points, still annoying, goes from a 70, into a 30 both duel carrigaway, just an island inbetween where the speed changes !

Never heard about that meself. 1st 3 points are always a shitter, just try and learn from it. And dont do what i did and drive around carefully for 3 months then slip back again otherwise you will end up getting caught again!
The you DO have to drive round scared

hmmm thing is they probably hear that excuse all the time, just gotta bite the bullet and stand you were in the wrong, whether they shud of been using the hand held gun or not.
At end of day if you were doin 30mph it wouldnt have mattered either way and thats not having a dig at you rob, Just the facts they would throw back at you

theres loads round this way and just because there national speed limit, people feel they have to do it, and its quite simply not wide enought for 2 cars to go through, just the way it works
