speeding tickets!
 
Got my FIRST EVER speeding ticket - never had ONE in the UK but got one in three months here! Bloody gutted!:curse:

$145 by the time I paid it online, no points (or whatever) as I was done by a sneaky one, doing 52 in a 30 playground zone, that is really hard to spot if you turn on to the avenue from one of the streets in the middle of the zone.

Anyway, what's your exeperiences of speeding or am I the only div???? I really try not to too! But honestly didn't know!

Won't tell you what Gaynor said I have to do when I tell Mr Miggins though lol!

Happy driving

(a $145 lighter :confused:)

You're a common criminal Mrs, and should be deported.

Please indicate your choice of destination.

You mean they get a choice?:confused:

I was under the impression they got shipped back to where they came from.

Well, who knows where people like this come from? Miggins could be a pseudonym for all I know. Maybe she comes from (gasp!) Somalia.

Mrs M......

Whats' it worth not to tell the boys what you are willing to do ??? ;)

Another suggestion would be to get a map of town and then mark where the playground zones are and then AVOID THEM:rofl:

Well I dunno what that means, must be IRA code for summat.

But since this thread has been well and truly hijacked already, let me add this:

I've just been out for a cancer-stick and noted with approval the cacophony of cicadas, froggy-woggies and stuff.

Yer divn't get that in Newcastle.

You might want to check your abstract in a few weeks time, they are not too keen on telling you that points will be placed on your licence at the time. Take a trip to the registry soon,
