    Oh Dear!




    I got stopped for speeding yesterday!








    I THOUGHT I COULD TALK MY WAY OUT OF IT, UNTIL THE OFFICER LOOKED AT MY DOG IN THE BACK SEAT.









    Here's what he saw. Do you think I can still get away with it?

          Clueless, that site is listed as a hoax :rolleyespink: (maybe a joke :scratch:). I haven't tried it but if you want to then use the old trick of entering a fake number or just click on enter without oputting a number in. Sorry, if it's a joke and I messed it up :WINK1:.

          Clueless, that site is bogus. I enetered the reg of my first car ( from 1971 ) The only thing the site got right was the town of use. The road system is wrong, the speed was impossible for a cortina in 1971 let alone now. Complete bunkum.:WINK1::dbgrtmb:

            You're right, it is a hoax, but a harmless one:)

            No matter what reg you put in, it still comes up with the same result. I think its Torquay or somewhere in Cornwall where you were allegedly clocked speeding.

            The first time I tried it I very briefly fell for it, and was all set to get onto the DVLA to protest my innocence until I saw the 'photo' that had been taken.:heehee:

              Nope, I was supposed to have been clocked here in Cwmbran. Not funny for some people.

              Oh Gawd, Dai, I'm thinking you've left your sense of humour somewhere and will have to go back to look for it.:D

              I have seen it before so knew what was coming, though for someone who did not, even then the end punchline would be a laugh

              I am still sweating on one, which would end my career :-(

              I went down to visit my brother, 150 miles of country road, with speed cameras
              I do and was driving at below the 60 then I came upon a flat bed truck
              He did 40 all along the impossible to overtake places and corners, then when there was a long straight he went to 62,then back to 40 for about fifty miles
              I got frustrated and at the next straight, I floored it (very fast SKODA 0-60 in five seconds) FLASH BANG WALLOP WHAT A PICTURE

              Normally it takes about three days to be notified, but this was on a country road in the middle of nowhere, so do they only take the evidence at the end of each month ?
              Anyway it is six weeks now and nothing, so either it was full, or no proceedings
              One can only hope

              (News flash tomorrow first post summons :-)
