You'll be paying someone to take the hit for you?

[Iggle Piggle]

surely you can find a loophole ? :-)

[didoatwork]

Were you jogging at such a speed?

[exdc]

You mean 'Traffic', they're not proper police

[Iggle Piggle]

Roadrunner Jayne "meep meep" ...

[supersuezy24]

How fast were you going??;)

[JonnyBoy12]

I could not agree with you more, exdc. They are not proper police at all. They should be out catched some real criminals instead of penalising the motorists which are already treated like "wallets on wheels" and taxed to the hilt.

Glad to see you all agree with me here.

[joggerjayne]

Not sure how fast I was going.

50 and a bit, I think.

It was in the back of a van.

Hi jonny

I was being silly, but yes I do agree.

[JonnyBoy12]

It was in the back of a van eh, JJ? Well, maybe you could have offered a way to revise the problem in the back of their van? Just a thought!

[factor-fiction]

What were you doing in the back of a van travelling at 50 and a bit?

[joggerjayne]

JB ... don't be naughty !

[ttfn]

Long legs, obvious really, Factor ;)

[AlBags]

[exdc]

"I could not agree with you more, exdc. They are not proper police at all. They should be out catched some real criminals instead of penalising the motorists which are already treated like "wallets on wheels" and taxed to the hilt."

speeding is still an offence non the less.

[joggerjayne]

Cycling "furiously" and failing to practice archery are also offences.

But nobody takes them seriously.

[cazzz1975]

victims of speeding drivers would disagree

[joggerjayne]

There are no victims of speeding drivers.

Only victims of careless or reckless drivers.

[Iggle Piggle]

Speed doesn't necessarily cause accidents, it just makes an accident bigger.
There are many foolish drivers out there who overestimate their abilities whether that is at 20mph or 80mph.
But unfortunately the police cannot prosecute for foolishness, only a measurable offence such as speed. Is this wrong? maybe, but it also makes a great deal of money too...
