speeding

[red gt]

receaved conditional fixt penalty offer for sp 20 62mph in 50 zone on the a75 dumfriese .
traveld the same road yesterday and all signs say 60 mph.
what should i do ?.

[Mad Moggie2]

Take photos of these signs asap

Was it a tempo 50? Roadworks?


@yikes:

You did not move the signs around like one bloke did and got jailed for (Think it's on achives.. the bloke who got done for 42 mph in a 30 mph but who then had the bright of upping the lolly sign to the road with the Gatso )

[red gt]

not in road works at the end of a duallcarage way I have allready taken photos.

SP20 ? What type of vehicle were you driving ?

[Mad Moggie2]

Then perhaps you had better send them the photos or wait to fight it in the courts - but with the tabloids fore-warned for a juicy story. More juicy stories showing the crass stupidity of a so-called accident prevention policy - the better

Not been unknown for the prats to mis-type something on these forms. We've had the 420 mph Maestro in a 30 mph zone before now

Not to mention Steve's blunder over SP40 instead of SP30 which led to several getting hammered on insurance hikes as a result of his blunder - for which he typically chucked his toys out of his pram when challenged about it. Then downed his periscope and submerged somewhere in the mudflats for a while in a right huff.

Which has a limit of 50mph on a single carriageway.

I take it then it was a single carriageway road & the sprinter van was a goods vehicle under 7.5 ton to which a 50 limit (not 60 like a car) was applicable ?

Ah.. this is Steve's fave on the A66. He apparently cops van drivers in their droves there. It seems that the guys over the Solway have the same infection

Just looked up the offences code.

Aye,

"Weigh Anchors" or words to that effect!

[red gt]

thanks for all the advice looks like im in the wrong.wiil take the points.

[planetdave]

You can't come on here and say that. Squirm. Procrastinate. Make them do work - then they have a chance to cock it up.

The rules are quite clear, see the new Highway Code rule 124 and table

Knowing the limit for the vehicle is up to the driver.
