Just remember if you do challenge it and the Magistrate finds against you, the maximum penalty is 6 points & £1000 fine.

Drewspeed,

Sorry to change conversation, but I noticed that you posted on the Yorkshire meet thread, are you interested?. Pop a reply on the thread if you are.

I will be going to Sandoft on wednesday for the 1st time maybe we could meet up?. I will hopefully be meeting up with SimonM who has been before.

Muddy.

There are a few good tips to avoid getting caught by the speedtrap at Sandtoft:

1) Don't break the 30mph limit
2) Take notice of the 10 or so signs posted thru' the village
3) Heed the warnings of the announcer at the drag event, as he does warn everybody of the traps at each event.

P.S. Speeding through the village will only end up with the drag event being banned, the local papers have already printed a front page article about bikers speeding!
