Lock me up, I'm now a criminal
Discussion
My 19 year blemish free licence is under threat.
Tonight on my way into work, passed a fixed speed camera which I've passed umpty dozen times, but tonight, I went sailing through it over the limit.
Obviously, I'm not saying which one it was, but it's a camera right on the boundary of a change of speed limit on the approach to a set of traffic lights. The lights are usually green, but tonight they were red, so started slowing down, which I would have anyway for the camera. The lights then changed back to green, so I speeded back up, completely forgetting about the camera and the fact that I'd speeded back up to the higher limit.
I now have to play the waiting game and keep my fingers crossed that it didn't have any film in, the hard disk was full or that they take longer than 14 days to write to me.
I'm devestated.

I'm not telling you which one it is, cos if I get away with it, someone might be reading this and they'll use this as a statement of evidence and do me.Paranoid....me?
I know I should just accept that the government has just gave me a jolly rodgering and it happens to everyone eventually, but I could hardly do my job last night for thinking about it. Not so much the fine or the points, but why did I forget it was there! I feel like such an idiot!

you need to visit www.pipipoo.com (look at the fight back forums and the NIP wizard) tells you how to deal with the penalty notice etc. Tonight on my way into work, passed a fixed speed camera which I've passed umpty dozen times, but tonight, I went sailing through it over the limit.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and suggest its the camera between the Bluehouse roundabout and Gosforth?
It's a bastard that one, caught me less than a year after passing my test - I was too busy listing to a girl yabbering on in the passwenger seat. Women!Burns

hmmm but your website does have a piccy of a tr7 and the words 'Got Banned for Speeding in this'Edited by whygee02 on Thursday 11th October 14:55
Yep, passed test, bought TR7, got banned. It was an eventful year that one and I'd vowed then to be much more observant. Still break the speed limit, but not while there's a police car behind me. 
BTW, I don't look a day over 50, zeb's, cheeky young whippersnapper! I remember when all this was fields etc....
