Got home last night to my first speeding ticket in 28 years of driving. 79mph in a 70 limit on the M4 near Bridgend.

So apparently I am to donate £85 to the South Wales Police benevolent fund, which in fairness seems a reasonable exchange for the preceding 28 years and 100's of 1000's of miles of (possibly) slightly brisk motorway driving...not a bad rate of return all things considered biggrin

Just thought I'd share.

Fantastic. This meets the criteria. I should actually say that the deal is for points and a fine, rather than the SAC cost, but I'll pay either if the OP scans and posts the NIP on here today and then sends the original in the post, as Photoshop is just too easy nowadays. PM me for my address.
My lucky day: Heres a photo of the original (name and VRM edited out for internet purposes)

And as this was in Walesshire here is the welsh language version you also get:

The original has now gone back to the lovely people at the camera unit for their perusal but I have copied it.
Feel free to contact me in order to send me the £85 payment for the SAC I shall be opting for biggrin

You never go down the hill and around the bend at speed between 33 and 34. The van's always there on the left hand side of the bridge, just out of view until the last minute.

I get off at 34, so normally pootle along that section, ready for the slip road.

LOL So it would seem....that's exactly where he was sitting. Lesson learned biggrin
