I Got Flashed!
Discussion
(Names changed to protect the innocent!)
I got flashed by a camera last night whilst driving a mates car. He wanted me to try it out as he has had some work done on the car and the throttle is really sensitive, and seems to be a bit sticky. I was being really careful (not least because it's a bit of a pig to drive!) and concentrating on what I was doing, but forgot I was passing a camera.
At the same time I had to pass a cyclist, so gently squeezed the throttle, but it opened more than I wanted so I ended up triggering the camera.
Is there any hope of me getting off this one? I was driving really carefully, but it took by surprise as I was trying clear a cyclist, and the car was difficult to drive slowly. It was rather unfortunate to say the least.
Any help or wisdom I would be very grateful.
