It's not a question of how right or wrong you were, if you get caught breaking the law and they can trace you then you're fcuked. The fact you are ignorant of the law is no defence, in fact to my mind it makes the whole thing worse.
Maybe try slowing down to the limit by the time you reach the start of it and you wouldn't start a bitching thread on here.
Another poster asked my qualifiactions as a driver, nothing special, just the IAM, various driver training courses and years of experience driving varied vehicles over 100's of thousands of miles.

All of the Delivery drivers who drive for initial citylink where i live are all Advanced motorists and 3 of them are instructers but looking at the way they drive there vans you wouldnt believe it.

BTW I don't claim to be a good driver or to obey all speed limits. I am however aware of the rules that apply to me when I'm driving.

I have no idea what 'program' you are talking about.
I have a girlfriend.
You asked a question, I highlighted your gross incompetence. I gave you an answer. You didn't like it.
Being 'not the worst' driver isn't anything to be crow about either. Why not use this as an opportunity to improve your skills which are evidently lacking even the most basic framework to build on?
Sums up the thread fairly succinctly I believe.

It's funny how vapid has to 'trample' all over somebody, just to either make them shut-up, or agree!
This is a 'public' forum Vapid!

Vapid - complete aside here but I note from another thread that you state you only post on Scoobynet when you are at work. How you can be so critical of others whilst clearly defrauding your employer is beyond me.
I'm on holiday before you ask..............

In any case I'm allowed to do what I want in my office as long as the the projects are completed. I daresay I'd even get away with ordering in pizza or a film or two if I wanted. Anyway I'd argue contributing to scoobynet keeps me sharp as my employment involves a certain amount of debate and the ability to express oneself in writing.
Oh and dean, you may well think I'm 'sad' but at least I can drive............

It has been said that they were going to make Radar and laser detectors illegal but it hasn't happened yet. So you are still ok to use them.
Maybe a couple of useful sites for people:
www.speedtrapbible.co.uk
UK Speedtrap Guide. radar detector comparison, compare radar detector, gatso, speeding, speedtrap, gatso camera, blinder, uk speed trap, speed trap uk
I think the term is inappropriate speed, is going 90 mph on a dry empty motorway a bad thing? At least he was reducing his speed, a lot of others wouldn't. Not everyone drives EXACTLY within the law, and they never will.

, its a bit out of order really that they would even consider it as when I bought my snooper the advertising around it had a police promotion theme saying it was good for road safety.

You'd certainly get that if you worked for me mate. You could happily "debate" why you feel you should keep hold of your job and could then "express yourself in writing" whilst updating your CV for your next job interview.
The chances of me working for you in whatever grubby little business you do is minimal.
I'm not your 'mate' either and neither do I wish to be.

A good job all companies don't have employees with the same ethos. Where would our economy be?In fairness you're right though. The oil company will still make massive profits with or without your hard work so at least we'll agree on that.
I think the chances are slightly higher than "minimal" but I guess YOU have to keep your employment options open eh? I dont employ nor head hunt WASTERS in my grubby business so don't be too disappointed if our paths don't cross
I'll let you get on. I can see you're busy
