Sneaky speed traps...

[Bbbananas]

... reckon I've just been caught by one of those road safety speed trap vans that park on the side of the road - usually just after a corner & usually half-hidden by a tree. I was doing 69 in a 60. Didn't see a flash, but the back window was open with something ominous stuck out.
Damn darn & blast - what'll that be - £60 fine?
Why do they have to be so furtive about it, that's what really gets my goat.
Am not happy at all.

69 in a 60...Didn't realise BF was that old. :-)

[Walter_Ego]

how Fluffing dangerous is that ?
a 69 whilst driving, you deserve everything coming your way

[ummmm]

And the moral of the story Salla??? :-)

[logic]

I've Had a few thirty four and a halves whilst driving, but never managed a sixty nine, :-)

Morning darling.

69mph in a 60mph zone is breaking the law.

Furtive......if you suspected Plaid of sha@gging some other woman, would you warn him that you would be checking up on him?..........NO.

I would love to have been in Traffic Police and would have loved to have been a traffic warden........also a policeman in South Africa during Apartheid, whacking those protesters with those long whips.

It might just be an ANPR van, and not a speed check van. (stays well away from the 69 jokes)

You should've gone to specsavers, alteratavly buy a good speed camera detector
one that pick up radar as well as laser if it only saves you one ticket it has paid for itself, and stops points on your licence..

but the back window was open with something ominous stuck out. ....... i'm not going to say it.....

£60 and three points or you might get the option to go on a speed awarness course, same cost but no points

[logic]

And why are you not happy,?
I would be over the MOON if I'd been flashed wilst doing 69.

[Barmaid]

You'll probably get 3 points and a £60 fine. Trust you to be doing 69 though. It could only be you Salla!

[Bbbananas]

You virtuous lot - none of you ever speeded then? My @rse.
The moral of the story is, I suppose, keep your eye on your speedometer & when there are speed signs, keep to within the limit. But Iwas the only one on the road, apart from the bloke on the bike I was overtaking, and it was long and straight with excellent visibility (apart from the van....)
Ok, I'm a criminal, but I'm still pee'd off.

Chuck - what's an ANPR van?

[Bbbananas]

I'm hoping a '69'er will just about get me off barmaid !!
A 70 would have just been tooo much.

Thanks craft & Logic for your comments - it brought a half-smile to my miserable face. £60 ??? I'm skint.

automatice number plate recog

checks your car is legal

[mccfluff]

anyway you think you had a bad morning, i got woken up by murph dropping some creature on me, i thought it was a frog but its the wrong time of year i think, anyway it was cold slimey and very quick so at stupid oclock this morning i'm naked chasing some creature around my bedroom and trying to stop the cat from joining in the game. i eventually cought it and lobbed it out the back door.

and i was having a nice dream

[Bbbananas]

My car's legal - MOT, insurance, tax & all that jazz. Not sure whether I'm legal, but if it's only the car they're checking, I should be ok..... Do ANPR vans not do speed checks then?

Ok you lot - chastisement over, please. Especially Walter - smug virtuous little git - I'm not admitting to drinking & driving for funky's sake, or weaving in & out of traffic dangerously, or driving stupidly in adverse weather conditions - I was just going a tad faster than I should because I was late for work & was singing along to The Verve. It's a bittersweet symphony alright...
