Another Speeding Fine Thread

Similar thing happened to me recently. I got so p*ssed off I invested in front and rear "parking sensors".
Inevitably you're going to get caught out once in a while. I've given up trying to protest their revenue generating activities. If they're going to play dirty then you should too.
Laser park pro gets a big thumbs up from me.

caught by a bloody camera van. 44 in a 30 overtaking a bus on the Wallisdown Road.
Forgive my ignorance, but isn't Wallisdown Road a 40 zone at the industrial bit, then going into a 30 as you round the bend and get into a built up area with driveways on either side - why were you overtaking there?Janitor said:
I believe you're thinking of the wrong bit I think Ben... it was definitely a two lane section leading from outskirts into town... just a short uphill stretch between two roundabouts if that narrows it down a bit..?
Heesen, get your self over to Pepipoo.com, fill in the NIP wizard and search for"vague locus (not locust...) - reckon you may have an out there, it may take a few letters, but Dorset Scamers tend to give up if you give them a bit of bluff and bluster (I am 1 from 2 at the mo, Gooby is about 1 conviction from 9,647....)

Those in glass houses should distance themself from the huge pile of bricks.
Theonly section of Wallisdown Rd that is 40mph is the bit leading from the Mountbatten Arms Roundabout towards Bmth. The 40 limit ends just after the Industrial estate finishes on the left hand side.
The only section of Dual Carriage way on Wallisdown Rd, is the area near the University, it isnt 40mph and neither are the sections of road either side of it.
Janitors description seems to be the section of road lesding upto the Mountbatten Arms Roundabout, coming from the Tower Park direction, this is 40mph, as is the whole of that Dual Carriageway going onto Bear Cross

Do those "Parking Sensors" really do more than they say on the tin, then?Inevitably you're going to get caught out once in a while. I've given up trying to protest their revenue generating activities. If they're going to play dirty then you should too.

You are so incredibly full of it if you have the outright balls to critisize anyone for speeding. I was there at your court case!!!!!

Point taken - I don't think I was in the best frame of mind after having a stand up row with my next door neighbour the preceeding night as to why 4.30am wasn't a good time to start ripping up skirting boards on an adjoining wall...Late night on the Wallisdown road it would be bl00dy easy to do that speed as it swaps to a 30 and back.

Anyway, back on topic, Heesen, please get yourself over to Pepipoo ASAP - at least find out exactly where the scamera was, the exact bit of road they were on etc, and ask for photo's to "identify the driver"
It sounds like you were in a 40 not a 30, and someone in SP+L recently had a ticket rescinded for being within the prosecution threshold (76 in a 70) here:

I may be full of it, but I have spent my time researching speeding laws since my own "altercation"...
All the best, and if you want some help outside the forum, please feel free to PM me (the scamerati have been known to frequent PH and Pepipoo).
Good news this morning......
Wrote politely back to Dorset Police asking for the photo's which finaly arrived last week. After carefully checking the 2 photos one of a silver Elise, reg number blurred and no visible driving lights and the second photo of my car with driving lights, wrote back to point this out.
Letter this morning "we have decided to take no further action"
Oh joy, thank f*%k for that.
To those who were quick to condem
And those that offered the advice
It pays to check the evidence

next time i get done for speeding, i'm gonna take my driving lights out, take a photo and send it off so they compare pics... that'll have em foxed!
Just FYI, that is considered Perverting the Course of Justice and you will end up in chokey (unless you are a has-been premiership striker with a penchant for foul-mouthed rascist girls old enough to be your daughter, and then it's a caution...)Bing o said:
Congrats Heesen - it's amazing that if you hadn't bothered to check the pictures (ie rolled over like a sheep) you'd have been awarded 3 points based on sod all legally admissable evidence - what a great country we live in eh?
Thanks Bing O. there were a couple of other issues raised as well which I would rather not go into on the forum

The other driver knows who he is

If the reg was blurred, how did they know it was you?
Something smells fishier than fish market day in Grimsby...
Still, nice to know the Justice system is alive and well...
I have had the same thing, I asked to see the photos and it was impossible to make out the 'plate. Something smells fishier than fish market day in Grimsby...
Still, nice to know the Justice system is alive and well...
They use "photo enhancement" to make out the plate and sent you the NIP hoping you will say "fair cop" and pay up. Any enhanced or amended photo is not admissible in court as evidence. No photo - no evidence. No evidence - no case.
