Do you think I've been caught?
Just passed a camera van in a 30mph zone. On my speedo it looked like I was doing 35mph but of course that wont be my actual speed. Anyone got any idea if I'll be fined? What is the allowance?

10% + 2mph so at 35 you wont (at 36 you will though).............:thumb:
|
Your speedo will no doubt display a slightly higher speed than the actual speed you are travelling, so I would be surprised if you were even doing 35mph. In future it would just be easier to drive at 30, though! ;) :D Or slow down when you see the van! ;)
|
You'll be fine fella....
I've been flashed loads of times and not a d1cky... The mobile vans can be a bit anal when it comes to the speed but I wouldn't worry... |
I'm brickin it as this will be 9 points. I know everyone says this but the other two were really unlucky and I should of known better. I've been thinking if I end up with 9 points I'll prob have to sell the scoob! i really hope you guys are right.

35 in my classic on 17's is about 31-32 in reality (on gos) so tbh with a bit of luck you'll have got away with it

Maybe you should buy a road angel, or start looking out for the speed cameras? ;) |
I picked up 3 points in my van, I then bought a road Angel and picked up another 3 points from a camera van. The Road Angel was awful, it never notified me of a load of speed traps and vans so I sold it on ebay as it was useless. Since then I have been driving EVERYWHERE really really carefully. Today I had a couple of seconds lapse in concentration and before I knew it I'd drifted over the 30 limit. Its so easy to do. Is it 2 weeks they have to send the NIP by?

You could always contest it and ask for the calibration details etc...... I think the vans are the worst of the speed enforcement scenarios as they're paying a couple of guys to just sit there operating it....... |
nip is 14 days, no show and they can't do you
|
Where can I see that in writing?
|
peppi, or what ever the site was called, sure someone knows the site i mean and has link to it

If you were genuinely doing 35 according to speedo, you should be fine. As others have said, the speedo in most cases reads well over.

I'm prety sure I was but you know what its like, you doubt yourself when you think you've been caught out. Was I really doing 35mph or was it a bit more??? I'll just have to wait and see now but i'm gonna be nervous all the way to xmas now!! May be a scoob for sale in the new year!
