You abbreviated miles per hour incorrectly!

I found out if I had been doing 1 km less, I would not have been flashed. Evidently the camera’s are timed at 85 I think it is ,in an 80 km area, before they are activated, and 107 in a 100 km area. I need to take stronger reading glasses next time.I had also turned my speed camera off on the satnav. First time in 30 odd years. It was all you lot leading me astray, especially that Rev bloke.

He reckons we are being picked on because of the ''B'' word as he reckons at no point did he drive any faster than the traffic flow.

Not that I plan on trying it but it would be interesting to actually see what happens if a fine is not paid.
You will be flagged up on the computer when they flash your Passport thru the scanner the next time you go there..

You must have pulled the cloak up high so they could not see you. If you don’t get one today, you will be ok because they have to get it to you within 14 days. You jammy man of the tapestry.

He who gets lost, gets lost forever. In other words, defrocked. Yea.

My speedo, like that of most other folk, reads 10Kph more than the speed I'm doing so the radar doesn't get a look in.-

Got twitchy right finger. Should have been 130.---

The French made 24,000,000 Euros extra profit during the first year they dropped the limit from 90 to 80.--
