Damn and blast. NIP arrived this am. Thought the sneaky van on the bridge over the A11 near Thetford had bagged me last week but wasn't sure. It was sunny, very light traffic, I was doing around 85mph. Where's the danger in that?

That's sixty quid and three points down the drain...

PHer psychology 101: If I know I'm not likely to be lasered, I'll sit at 85 all the way up the A11, btu if I know there'll be a van, I'l slow to 75 where I can see a van and do 100 everywhere else.

Somewhat Confucious there, old man. Are you becoming PHs "wise guru".

CarZee say: "The wise man uses speed only with caution and in the absence of feckin' GATSOs"

Fill in details but don't sign the NIP.

Don't go to court and it's inadmissable as evidence.

For now....

I was thinking something like 'the guru spews forth', or 'pearl necklaces of wisdom'..

Edited to say: Less of the 'old man' there, dear boy

I'm about to do the same thing. Has anybody else on the BB not signed the NIP. The police returned one to my friend and asked him to sign it which he did. I think I would have binned it. Any experiences to share?
