The End Of 30 Years

[Zacs-Master]

Of having a clean driving licence! Well, not quite, as intend to go on one of those (yawn) awareness courses.
83 on the A14 by a camera van. In case you were wondering.

Tut!

silly silly boy

[murraymints]

Ooo naughty boy ! Lol....spotted the cameras down A1 bit up here have been burnt out !!

[campbellking]

Round here they seem to be catching lots of people with the average speed cameras. Do seem to charge a lot for those courses, and one of my friends has just been on her second one in four years, so they don't seem to provide a long-term deterrent (she said most people on it were repeat offenders)

If you are going to get done, get done proper! I got nabbed doing 92mph....and bizarrely I was complemented on my driving, it was just the speed they disapproved of :-(

[pixie373]

Ah well. I did an awareness course- it was more interesting than i expected...

[Zacs-Master]

Interesting Eccles. I was in a company vehicle so might have had a bit of a ticking off at that speed!

[Baldric]

Oh, gosh, how could you?
;-)

[pixie373]

You're not allowed to do another course within 3 years. I had never known you were supposed to use 3rd gear to drive at 30mph :-\

[Buenchico]

Don't tell us porkies, Z-M! There's no part of the A14 where you can do do any speed greater than that of the lorry ahead of you in the outside lane ;-)

[Zacs-Master]

Campbell I thought you could only go on one awareness course.

[sunny-dave]

How the flip did you get up to 83 on the A14 - it's usually a procession of elephant racers doing 55.9 in lane 1 and 56.0 in lane 2 ...

[askyourgran]

Sneaky camera vans. We were in a queue of traffic all travelling smoothly at the same speed when the first car in the queue spotted the police van, put his anchors on and nearly caused a pile up....

[Zacs-Master]

It was about mid day Chris so the road was unusually quiet (unfortunately).

[campbellking]

Zac, apparently you can go on another one as long as there is a 3 year gap inbetween

[Jeza]

Back in the mid 70's when there was a fuel crisis and speed limit was dropped to 50 I was stopped and warned. The next day I was stopped again, same copper no warning this time. I was fined with points as well.
Never been stopped since. YET

[Zacs-Master]

I see Campbell. Thanks.

[joggerjayne]

I've done the Course, too.

You get tea mid morning, and a biscuit, so it's not all bad.

It's best not to ask if you can get your hands on a Bloody Mary.

[Dee Sa]

bad luck Zacs, they make you pay for these courses I believe ? and its not cheap ?
