Somewhat peeved - done for 82 on motorway????
Discussion
Apologies fellow Pistonheads but there is an element of venting off with this one.
Notice of intended prosecution received today for doing 82 on the M40. And as I've already had a speed awareness course for doing 33 in a 30 zone (on a motorway contraflow) that means points/penalty
You're having a laff as the fella says. Does anyone go UNDER 80 mph on the M40?
"Attended" i.e. operated camera.
I'm genuinely speechless

Any chance you've still got a copy of your 33 in a 30? Because, with the exception of the odd unproven post, I'm still aware of nobody actually getting done for less than 35 in a 30.Notice of intended prosecution received today for doing 82 on the M40.

No I don't, and I couldn't swear to 33 or 34 but it was categorically sub 35 as we had a debate about it on the speed awareness course. It was Wales, on a roadworks section on the M4.
Dunno, if something like that happened to me it would tend to stick in my memory.Nonetheless, that was then and this is now.
Yeah it sucks but thats thems the rools.
Everyone cops the odd ticket. Don't let it piss you off. Pay the speeding tax and be more careful next time.
I can recommend doing an Advanced Driving course to help with readjusting your expectations of speed. It certainly helped me clean up my licence. Been clean for years....not that that will last forever!

82 in a 70 limit, I really don't know what you are complaining about, you took a chance and got caught.
Same here. I may not agree with the rules, but there isn't a lot to get upset about if the limit is clear and you get caught/punished.Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
