Be careful, the neighbour has just qualified to operate a speed gun.
I have no doubt he'll be out a lot over the next little while.smile

He took great delight in telling me its 3 points and £100 for crossing them, he can prosecute for that too.

I hope your doing the right thing and driving up and down the road really slowly with a big sign on your car saying 'SLOW DOWN, MY (Insert insult of your choice) OF A NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR HAS A SPEED GUN, HE LIVES AT NUMBER **'

In all honesty having nearly been hit mowing the verge several times by people on the wrong side of the road I actually feel like going out with a spanner and nicking a couple of 50 speed camera signs and setting them up.
It's the bikes that damage my calm.
Yes he's a civvy, looks like the next round of taxation is upon us.
I know he'll be out a lot. And he's going to get a shed load of folk, some hit 70/80 easy overtaking as it's the only straight bit for a good while.



Hence the heads up.smile ......................Garyhehe

If he's a civvy, he cannot issue points for crossing double whites etc.

The only offences non police can deal with are parking and speed cameras. And all the brainless fools in the camera vans do is operate the camera. It isnt necessarily their decision who gets prosecuted, other than using their discretion not to point the camera at people in the first place.

TBH people who operate most of the cameras are the lowest of low, especially as it's under the false pretence of road safety. Quite disgusting really when resources could actually be used in a positive way to help road safety.

You're quite right, he said the gun will record the offence.
