Old people with speed guns

A village I go through currently twice a week had these blue rinsed wombles standing on a patch of grass all taking turns to operate the camera and looking earnest. They all looked pretty bored because drivers were giving each other a friendly hello by flashing their lights before the village for all those that didn't have WAZE switched on. Now THAT is community spirit.
At least it stops them getting all frothy reading the daily mail and keeps some of the old "silver surfer" types plaguing this board with nonsense.
Let the "community" group nutters get to play cop for the day and feel all righteous in the crushingly boring meetings they hold.
Obv, for bonus points it is always fun to rev your engine as if you're about to launch hyper drive just after you pass the pensioners. 10 points if more than one of them turns round. Double points if they ALL turn round.
Do you know how annoying it is to be towing a horse box and some At least it stops them getting all frothy reading the daily mail and keeps some of the old "silver surfer" types plaguing this board with nonsense.

flashing you because there's police speed guns up the road? There's no sodding chance I'm going to be speeding and now I have anxiety there's something wrong with my outfit. meatballs said:

There is. It’s towing a horse flashing you because there's police speed guns up the road? There's no sodding chance I'm going to be speeding and now I have anxiety there's something wrong with my outfit.

There's an idea for CSW - flash headlights at random people when they're driving around so the other driver assumes there's a speed trap up ahead and slow down....
But then only a complete throbber would do that. Oh....

About as annoying as being stuck behind one? But not nearly as tttish as calling a horsebox your "outfit"?? Edited by Engelberger on Wednesday 14th August 19:05

I don't mind that tbh. It means I am on a fun road and likely in the country. See also cyclists. Most people on horses, apart from being dreadful brexit voting tories are at least largely polite out of good upbringing and those that don't wave appreciation can always be given a loud honk of the horn to remind them to say thank you in future. When done strongly enough the horse will often agree with you by rearing up and try to wave acknowledgment. It is really cute. Man and horse agreeing with each other is a good place to be.

Not sure who’s worse, you, or a bunch of lycra clad b flashing you because there's police speed guns up the road? There's no sodding chance I'm going to be speeding and now I have anxiety there's something wrong with my outfit. ds clogging the road, because they are all tour de france entrants, or some, my wife/child wanted a horse brats.They also need eye tests and a good understanding of cats
I recently got a letter from this lot 36 in a 20
1 st letter I was supposedly driving a Honda rav4 with a reg Rwsr 3689 (never heard of a Honda rav4 and to many letter and number for a Uk reg) I’ve also never been to the location
So I emailed them and told them
They then decided it was a car I owned with a correct reg (but I still haven’t been to the location)
So I’m left wondering if there is a clone of my plate or the speed grannies need a sight test

Sounds like this mistake was made by the police admin, not the Speedwatch group. We have to independently record the make, model, colour and reg of each vehicle and if there is any variation the police should reject the record.
And for any drivers in Dorset, the police actually randomly embed a real policeman with a real speed gun in their Speedwatch groups, just to reinforce the message

Sorry but how does the length of time I’ve been on here invalidate my point?
Speeding is against the law and if you commit the offence, surely it’s only fair you get punished.
Wrong website. And hypocrite. Speeding is against the law and if you commit the offence, surely it’s only fair you get punished.

I’ve never sped to a massive extent on urban areas and find the speedwatch ‘message’ a little bit lost.

Hypocrite? I never speed to what’s your point.
I didn’t realise this website was about how to get away with as many driving offences as possible regardless how minor or serious they are.
That’s pretty much impossible, everyone does to a degree. The holier than thou attitude won’t win much favour. I think you’d enjoy the Brake website better? I didn’t realise this website was about how to get away with as many driving offences as possible regardless how minor or serious they are.
