Can't believe i've got a speeding ticket after 17 years clean licence so say 40 in a 30. Mobile piggy unit hiding somewhere, barstewards, they also got other riders I was with but at lower speeds even though thought we were all doing the same speed obviously the speed camera don't lie (cough BS), can't even do that aware course cus the cut off is 39mph. I remember the road being heavy with traffic and do question the 40 as we were going slow and filtering, guess piggy must have been bored and felt like upping its christmas bonus this year. Feckers not happy bunny........ Peeps passing through Bristol take it easy, as the rossers are out in force, came come and the local taxi driver said hes seen 3 other mobile units out and about. So much for them trying to catch house bugulars, rapists, car and bike theives / vandals etc.
Hope noneone on here gets any tickets eyes pealed everyone.

if forward facing camera, this would be circumstantial and not provable, as they need photograph of number plate, been on bike and had letter through post but from forward facing so no evidence, ignored under legal advice since heard nothing in 18 months since first letter. Siting you then writing plate number down is not evidence of you speeding, as this could be any bike.

I can't run the risk of contesting it and incuring huge losses if I loose. Will have to get my own back on them later on

I past a couple of "Do Good Grannies" in flourescent jackets last night on the way home. The old dufferers were were hidden behind a wall in Winterbourne and jumped out doing their best Starsky and Hutch inpression with the speed gun and then started scribbling down numbers. It made me jump at first but I must admit I was grinning to myself as I continued along the road.

Shame you didn't stop off for some eggs, like that chap on youtube Neg urban burger thing, shouting egg egg each time you throw one, get points if you hit them.
Edit was from Urban sports. Perhaps a new game egg and destroy the piggy camera.

Mate you should have stoped, and told them you were a plain clothes detective investigating complaints of pepole impersonating trafic officers in the area.
Then let them off with a warning, but conviscating the camera and flourescent jackets

Try as I might, I just can't muster any sympathy for one piddly little ticket after 17 years of fineless bliss!
I'll be lucky if I have one year of ticketlessness out of 17!
It may help to know that with a very carefully worded letter (along the lines of I've been good for so long, gimme another chance), I got a friend off a fine owing to a similar driving record. Might be worth a crack.

Too late i'm afraid sent everything off already.........
LOL must have just been lucky in those 17 years driving the car, and only speed ticket I got was for the bike.
Wonder if those laser jammer thingy's work.

Does this mean you are having trouble keeping under the limit during your parole or are you just showing a little more cleavage when you get stopped the next time
