Why does that make them "fecking scammy bar stewards"? you were 15% over the limit, assuming the limit was 70 and your speedo was probably showing more than 81. You will be offered a course assuming the limit was 70. I suggest when you attend that you grow up and just take your punishment like a man or alternatively refuse the course, request your day in court and call them "fecking scammy bar stewards" and see where that gets you.

with modern type approved cameras they can scan you from almost a mile away, they would be barely visible, you cant rely on visually spotting them

not really youre just acting like a child. We have all been caught speeding. Just put your hands up and admit it and take the punishment. Simple really

Well he has a point. Limit is 70. You get done doing 81. You may not like it, but I'm struggling to see the scam.

Copper was on the M4 in a plains clothes bmw in a bush on one of those elevated platforms on Monday.

I thought "Oh that BMW drivers parked in the wrong place whilst broken down", then spotted the copper out the vehicle behind the bushes with hairdryer.

Now thats sneaky... but then Waze was already alerting half a mile up the road
