I've been naughty

[benjj]

I have been a bad boy. I know that I shouldn't have been. I am genuinely repentant. But this is getting framed and going on the garage wall.

LOVE IT

Good job that man!

I got nobbled last week but unfortunately I was in a rented Megane. Really not that cool...

[LordBretSinclair]

Nice one Ben.

I assume that was in a 50 limit.

[Oelholm]

I bet that photo gave the Police a few laughs too

[benjj]

My fault completely, didn't notice motorway change 70 to 50 when it went to 2 lanes.

[LordBretSinclair]

Ben, have you owned up to this yet???

There are a number of anomalies in the photo - the limit / verification markings may not be legal.

There is a system of street lights so therefore there should be 50 repeaters on the lamp columns at set intervals, I can't see any in the photo.

Apart from lane lines there should not be any other road markings within the limits of the verification markings - from the photo there appears to be a number 91 or similar.

If I was you I would be doing some further investigation and challenging the conviction

And its uphill too. No way that should have been able to do 66mph.

[pingu393]

It's obviously a busy & dangerous stretch of dual-carriageway. That camera has really justified it's safety device status with that photo.

Bright side is the proof that your car can do 66mph uphill has probably added more that £60 to it's value

[benjj]

The speedo was reading about 75 I think

Interesting. If it isn't hours and hours of time spent appealing then I might do it. Cheers.

[cptsideways]

75 on speedo is not against the law

TX.

While that may be true if you plan on contesting it best off erring on the side of caution

[benjj]

Heh, I always have the tom tom on so I knew I was really doing 66, not that I should have been of course.

Probably won't contest it as the hours spent doing so would be much more profitable actually working.

Expecting £60 fine and 3 pts when I return the paperwork.

Also yes, there are 2 photos, the other further away.

[LordBretSinclair]

Sounds like a fair cop then Ben

Good luck, LBS

[veryRS]

Actually I have to say after the recent topics of people complaining about driving like tits then getting caught the OPs attitude to this is quite refreshing

I agree. From the photo there is no other traffic in the vicinity, road surface dry and in good condition, perfect visibility - hardly the crime of the century.

We've all been there, done that and in the past got away with it, good that Ben is happy to "put his hands up".

[DaveH23]

Ive always wondered about these images.

What does it proove? It is a picture with a number in the corner?

Surely 2 images showing distance travelled in xx ammount of secs can be seen as proof but a still image?

Good pic either wa OP.
