Re: Got my first speeding ticket!!! (moaning thread)
 
ONe of the muppets in my place today got a ticket in the US for running a red light, and tried to put it through expenses!!
Needless to say Finance dept have ensured he is laughing stock.

They love that: stand in middle of 32 strong office and shout "WHO RAN A RED LIGHT"

Speeding is speeding is speeding.

Pay your fine, take your points and stop bleeting.

Derrrr what does the title of my thread say??? Did you read it? If you don't like it you know what you can do! Stop bleating about my moaning and go elsewhere!

There's a big difference between irresponsible speeding (going over the limit in a residential area for example) and taking a bit too long to slow down when the limit drops suddenly.
They obviously sit at that point to catch the maximum amount of people and generate the most revenue.
I live on a dead end lane(30mph limit) with a garage at the bottom and irresponsible a*seholes speed down it several times a day meaning I don't like my kids playing out on the pavement. There's never a copper out there to catch them.
I always drive at 30mph or under when it's a 30 limit because it's usually a residential area.
on a 60mph dual carriageway I'd happily drive at 65 without worrying at all.
you gave fair warning in the thread title that you wanted to have a moan.

Thanks Kapri, perhaps we should have a poll :D

Naa, I am going to stay here and wait for you to admit what you did was wrong, like I said speeding is speeding.
I set the speed control on my car to make an audible beep when I reach 58KPH so I know to take my foot off the gas and slow up a little.
I had the speed beeper thing retrospectively fitted and they can be fitted to any car for a couple of hundred bucks.....About what you are going to have to pay within the next few weeks for this speeding offence. ;)

I don't think people have a problem with your moaning, just a few people's (and your) flippant attitude towards speeding.........:D

Sitting inside the car, there doesn't seem much difference travelling at 30mph or 40mph, but it makes quite a difference to the pedestrian or cyclist that gets hit.

Yes but did you know that 34.7% of statistics are made up on the spot?

Anything will be better than the present Ipswich Motorway, how can they call it a motorway when the speed limit is a mere 60kph:huh: ?
