Default How to avoid speeding fines?

Hi Guys,
My other half (who drives round like a granny normally) has just got a mobile camera ticket through the post. This will be her 2nd in 3 years, so upto 6 points. I did a quick google search and there are a couple of sites which have either a book to get you off or pre-laid out letters which you just fill your details in.
Have any of you actually used these and more to the point do they work.
I by the way - WRX (MY55) have no points (yet) but the way she is going will have to take a hit for her soon!
Moving on is it worth getting a radar detector for mobile camera vans?
I did have a bog standard snooper a couple of years back, that did not pick up mobile ones - are there any decent ones out there?
Any thoughts greatly apprieciated.
Dave

Chester way eh? Grew up in Chirk/Wrexham/Overton

It's Pslewis he has a foolproof way of avoiding fines, must be late because I'm sure he'd love to share it. He'll tell you not to speed

Sensible answer is to look at PePiPoo: Helping the motorist to get justice

"I have a FOOLPROOF way of beating them at their own game!!!

You will NEVER get a fine and never get any points!!

You will never feel stitched-up or that the system isn't fair (because you will be using the system against itself!).

This is a revolutionary idea and I have never seen the idea posted on here before.

I am no money grabbing conman - so I will share it with you FOR FREE!!

YES!!! Absolutely FREE!!!

I guarantee that if you follow my plan it will annoy the authorities so much that they will abandon the Speeding Cameras and Detection Devices as they will not be receiving money to run them!!

There will be NO SPEED CAMERAS ANYWHERE is everyone follows, to the letter, my amazing scheme!!

This is so revolutionary for some of you, so simple, so accurate and so certain of a 100% success rate that some of you may question it - may even laugh at the very idea .......

BUT it can work - it WILL work EVERYTIME and it WILL render EVERY SINGLE Speed Trap completely and utterly USELESS!!

What is this amazing revolutionary way of success??

About 85% of the population understand it and apply it with absolute success!!

I am about to reveal the secret ....

For FREE!!

No obligation

No minimum period

No limited offer

No ties

No Tricks

Wait for it

This is the end of speeding fines

This is the end of points for speeding

This is the begining of the end for Speed Cameras

This will usher in a new Era .. and Era where drivers can live in harmony, where pedestrians can walk the streets in safety, where families can drive around in confidence that a speeder will not wipe them out ..

Its a new world a fresh start ....

The revolutionary idea?

I will keep you no longer ...

It consists of only THREE words!!

Used to get as far as Hope and Llanfynydd , had a few friends Rossett way which isn't far from you.

Used to go out on the beer in Nantwich when I lived in Overton, good night out in those days.

Default Warned

I was warned about you Mr Lewis - so I take it that you do not have a Scooby yourself. If you did take time to read the thread, my wife speeds - I did not say I did.

My point being she will not read this, so unless I pass on your ramblings, you are wasting your cut and paste (as well as time) skills here!

Pete makes an excellent point that if nobody exceeds the speed limit then there will be no revenue for the camera partnerships and they will die, happy thought.

On a practical note I have a TALEX LITE which is cheap and has the best database of potential mobile sites that I have come across, does the trick for me.

I would say most of the info in these books are on the well known speeding websites... which tend to cost nothing so might be worth reading them first.

This CAN happen!!

Imagine - instead of adding names to useless fruitless petitions - everyone in the country decides NOT to speed for a week!? ... in protest!

Then, another week after that, then another ........

The speed enforcement will cost MUCH more to administer than they are getting back in fines and the detector vans and cameras will disappear!!

Might take a month - might take 2 months - 3 maybe, but it WOULD happen!!

Or, do as you always do, and bleet and cry and blubber that you have been caught by a camera once again! Year after year after year ....

Disagree.

Pay up and grit your teeth, otherwise you risk £150 to £250 in court costs, and a bigger fine and more points if the mags are feeling liverish. Trust me, I've been there

True ... therefore I feel that I can speak from a position of strength ... it was about 16 years ago and I haven't had a speeding ticket since!

For what it's worth ... I huffed, I puffed, I wrote to my MP and to the Chief of Police!!! I was mad that they were there for the school run but NOT when the scroates were driving about at high speed on a Friday night (along the same stretch of road).

I told the Chief of Police that his men were attacking a soft target ..... he told me, quite rightly, that there is no softer target than a childs head - and speeding means that it is more likely that that childs head is under my wheels!

I learned my lesson, paid the fine and swore to keep an eye on my speed ....... so far so good
