Good money maker today
Discussion
Ah I love them, those cheery little boys in blue protecting us all from....speeding.
Great trap today, well played actually. It was set up on the cut through in Iver to the M40. A big cycling event was being held and in a monumental coincidence a hand held speed trap was in place, right after a shift into a 30 limit. Well done chaps, you got my other half for all of 34 mph and then had your little patronizing chat with her. Don't worry she'll go on the SAC just like I did and the money, hope it helps. We had a great day out actually, unlike the two sad little men you employed making people grumpy today in that really serious accident blackspot.
Keep up the good work, it means so much to the public's view of you.

Tbh I'd feel pretty bitter if I was done for 34 in a 30. Thankfully most police seem to have common sense and it's a rare occurrence.
If it WAS actually 34. They could have forgone the benefit of a SAC and gone straight to a ticket/summons if they really wanted to be awkward.Big cycling event, likely highly profiled...low tolerance of speeding in that area at that time? Seems understandable to me.

Oh dear. We are bitter, aren't we.
Bitter, no these things aren't going to get me down. The course is easy, if boring and the money isn't a problem. The point is that it was borderline entrapment for revenue, nothing to do with safety, nothing at all. The event was in the woods some 7 miles up the road, this was a great spot to catch people out returning to the M40. I'm sure you'll be happy when every limited is heavily policed

Not really. I love going fast. I mean I really love going fast. But I am also fully aware that if I was to exceed the speed limit, it would be my own doing, and something I would have to face the consequences of. I don't know if speeding restrictions are right or wrong or unjust or what. But I accept that by living in this country, I abide by the rules, or man up and take what's coming to me if I break them. ging84 said:
perhaps you will be as kind as to post a personal information redacted copy of the ticket
endless discussions have been had about the existence of these tickets for less than 35 in a 30, if you have one it could help solve some debates, or fuel a massive new one
I'll ask her, I was caught a few years ago for the same sort of speed. I thought it was borderline myself but went on the course. Anyone who says 35 is the limit I believe is wrong. FWIW I thought it was 33. Anyway. It seems that in this day and age a good talking to is long gone. endless discussions have been had about the existence of these tickets for less than 35 in a 30, if you have one it could help solve some debates, or fuel a massive new one
