| Intersting to know where peoples points have come from. Bet most are from speeding past fixed cameras. Personally I have no points, wouldnt look good if I did. |

court / fine / nothing Gatsos only arrived here about 3 years ago! (we currently have 22 Gatsos, 3 with film) and a number of unmarked patrols. Principles are the same as UK - to make money - so much so that our speed trap system is going private! ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

it is all just a great big money making scheme for them isn't it!! going to treat myself to one of those road angel gizmos soon. will be £400 well spent. did anyone read about the euopean business woman that got the huge fine for speeding? it was in the paper the other day and it was about £40k. it's all done in relation to how much people earn where ever she comes from. at least they haven't thought of that over here yet!! -------------

There's the famous one on the Eastbound N4/M4 going into Dublin, just after the Lucan turnoff where the limit falls from 70 to 50. I don't think that's ever had any film in it.... -------------

Saw something on teletext yesterday that made me giggle.. A speed camera had been stolen by a motorist in Oxfordshire, allegedly. The Police seem to think the camera, worth over £42000, had probably nabbed the driver doing a spot of speeding and rather than get fined and points, he/she had nicked the camera..oh and its flash unit too.. So, I guess if anyone is offered this camera and flash unit in a pub somewhere, spose the fuzziewuzzies might want it back lol ------------- October 2-6 2008 - Houston, Texas - Long Distance Wedding March 15-April 1 2009 - Transatlantic Cruise October 10-25 2009 - China, Korea, Taiwan & Japan Cruise |

Well at present im clean as a whistle but in my stupid teens i went full hog with 18 points in 1 go. 1 year ban and 6 points when i got my license (was on a provisional and got clocked doing 105 down the m4, no insurance etc). needless to say since that time i have been fully legal and responsible. At least i learnt my lesson more so than others I know. I blame smokey and the bandit films personally :) "when i get home i'm gonna smack your mumma in da butt" Russ ------------- http://www.deathace.net">

went past an unmarked cameravan doing 95, (having been stuck behind some old bint in a metro in the outside lane at 50mph for about 4 miles, put the foot down)
got to pay my solicitor 108 quid for a court letter, and got 5 points and 180quid fine. whoops. apparently 94 would have got me 3 points and 60 quid, 95 is a court apperance, i think they rounded up myself....

I was quite lucky actually, I was going a lot faster when I spotted the van, the picture he captured must have shown the front end of the car touching the road, as I was braking! It was coming down the A465 heads of the valleys road, with Alister McRae in front of me in his Hyundai Coupe (Network Q 2001), it was on the news later too that he and a few others had been caught speeding! -------------
