Re: Got my first speeding ticket!!! (moaning thread)
OK so if we go by the comments of folk on here that it's just a money grabbing exercise and not a safety measure why play into their hands and hand over your money. Why not just slow down so they can't zap you, it's not rocket science. Sometimes if signs are not obvious and you're on roads you don't know there may be a vague reason for moaning about it but most appear to be on roads you use regularly and so know it happens. I honestly don't get it. Just because you don't agree with the law doesn't change anything:confused:

I seem to remember they acknowledge there can be a 10% variance each way on your speedo... therefore he may actually have been doing 38 mph??!:p |

It's a joke mate, eevry time you drive down that road you have to speed up as someone sits on your arse, there could have been any reason for it.
I'm sorry I am all for speeding tickets and cameras, if you are speeding tough. If I get a ticket for speeding tough I will deserve it. Most speed reductions have a warning sign before you get to the drop so slow down. I take great pleasure in slowing down when someone sits on my arse:cool: . I am one of those lovely annoying law abiding citizens. Just off to polish my halo. Oh and to sit down with pizza and a bottle of wine and watch the fall out. I'll probably get done tomorrow and be on here ranting myself, but I still agree with them none the less. Jo |

I still love everyone though ok.:wub: Jo |

gawd - how ridic! no matter where in the world, petty policing of this kind fosters extremely bad sentiment in the community towards the police by making law abiding citizens feel like criminals - not a wise thing to do me thinks.
