Witing for NIP

One mans 'harsh' is anothers 'freedom fighting' :)

It won't have a plod in, it will have a volunteer do-gooder in. No loss.

Nothing harsh about burning talivans or any other scamera hardware; I love the smell of Nap^H^H^H...

I'm a little uneasy about summary executions, even when so richly deserved.

I wouldn't drink in a pub that served the scum though.

Yeah, some people would go on alarming about all the pollution from the burning plastic and paint.

I got caught twice last year in artics - one in October, one in Novemeber. I was curious to actually see the film from the gatso so i went to the camera unit in Edinburgh and the copper was about 30 mins digging out the relevant film. Now from ONE camera in ONE day he had 2 rolls of film each about 4.5 inches in diameter - when I equated this to £££ I realised just how they managed to get £700m from us in 2003. Anyway, I paid the £60 and sent my licence off for the October NIP but I've not bothered about Novembers one - Ive had no reminder so far so they can go bugger themeselves :)

By the way, before I sent my licence off to be duly marked with an SP10 I covered it with adhesive film to protect it. The reason i did this is was when I notified the DVLA about a change of address I sent off my licence with the plastic wallet - well the buggers kept the plastic wallet and sent a note back with my licence saying that the general pubilc dont use the plastic wallet so they are not sending them back out. DVLA wrote to me saying that because I had "defaced" my licence and they couldnt mark the points on it then I would have to pay £19 to issue a new one to me which would then be marked with my new points. I wrote back saying that because they left me with no protection for my licence after the address change then it was up to me to protect it myself at my own expense....so I did, hence the laminte. They wrote back saying the same thing as previous and included the cobblers about me not being able to produce it on demnd by the police if needed etc etc.

So my licence is still down there.

Conor? Is that *REALLY* you? No demands for hanging and flogging because he dared to speed? No cries for 56mph speed limiters, cold showers and daily

ROFL. Shhhh.

Trip, trap, trip, trap goes the troll...

's OK - this isn't uk.transport ;)

...probably put you off pork scratchings tho' :(

Conor Turton ( snipped-for-privacy@conorturton.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Is that an admission, dearie?

You think that's funny? :-) I got done by the same mobile car, in the same place, twice in 3 days :-( ...so I bought a detector!!

Jinx

Not the first time either.

So a detector is simply a "stupidity compensator"?

Mr Jinx composed the following;:

Which is even funnier.

Now you're taking the piss ... ;)

Conor Turton ( snipped-for-privacy@conorturton.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

And in other non-news...

Er, so the next time you get stopped, you're gonna be royally screwed !

Should've gone to specsavers instead.

There is a speed camera on the 40 mph stretch of the A3 which appears to set to flash at around 38 to 39 mph. I have checked my speedo on a measured distance using the kilometre marker posts and cross checked it with GPS, so I know how fast I really am travelling.

No NIP so either the camera had no film or they realised the camera was not calibrated properly. But it is a good way of scaring law abiding drivers. No wonder people slow down to well below the limit when passing speed cameras.

Oh, it gets better, I saw the car before it got me, and even thought (cos it really was in a odd place) that he couldn't possibly be a speed trap for the cars in my direction! It was facing a NSL sign 200yds away so i thought he was getting cars coming towards him...

Jinx

Is that the one near Roehampton ?

Yes that's the one. Having been flashed by it nearly three weeks ago I happened to be going in the opposite direction on Sunday and noticed cars being flashed by it. They didn't look like they were going much faster than the other traffic, so it looks as though it is still flashing people driving within the limit.
