Could you post the technical notes for mobile speed cameras.  Particularly the manufacturers stated accuracy tolerances.

Also can you tell us how to dispose of bodies of the policeman in question as well as any other evidence we can conceal.

Thanks

Can you tell me what not to say to the Police when i've been pulled. "You're not going to look in the boot are you Officer?" got me in trouble  :sad:

With regard to the "How to dispose of a body", try this chap. He knows a man with some pigs.

How many people get done for speeding through average speed cameras on the the motorway? And the variable speed limit cameras for that matter?

So many cars, vans and trucks seem to fly past me when i'm doing the limit and always wonder if they get done?

Lots. It doesn't matter if they change lanes either - that was rectified years ago. If you want specific figures you'll need to submit a Freedom of Information Act request with your local Police Force.   :smiley:

Why did the football player get away on the m4 in his mclaren in court, he was doing 160+, the volve t5 traffic car maxed out its speedo which the footage confirmed with the speed in the video and you could clearly see the mclaren disappearing in the distance  :tongue:

Why are also the police rubbish at prosecuting people on mobile phones whilst driving with only a 50% success rate?

Why is it the crack heads get away with murder, yet the taxpayer gets r@ped financially for doing something thats a hundredth of the seriousness?

Also what is the answer to life?

It's because Plod is fat and thick.  Far easier to catch speeding motorists than crooks in order to justify your existence.

Traffic and road policing is a completely separate department from the more general oficers unfortunately. True they can still deal with most situations but they tend not to get involved in specific investigations.

I have a mate who use to race and he was stopped while out on a training ride and the officer said "did you know you were speeding"

His reply was "well of course I never, how the f**k do I know how fast I was going"  :rolleyes: :laugh:

You cant be done for

No insurance
No Road Tax
Not wearing a Helmet
(sure these will change in the near future)

You can be done for most other road offences although rarely does this happen........

As far as I am aware you can't get done for "speeding" as such on a bicycle although I have heard of a case where you can be fined for "furious pedalling". How true this is I don't know but I think it was more a case of being in proper control and riding like a prize twonk.  :laugh:

Yep, under a old bylaw you can be done for furious pedalling but not speeding as such, the fine I got 18 years ago was £22

You can be done for speeding via the "due care" side of the law, speeding may mean you are not in proper control........
Not a real problem unless you are speeding in a 20mph :grin:
