cant go anywhere with out them today i was just entering a local village as i went past the 30 sign thought to myself sometimes have cameras here look down at speedo doing just under 40 just as im pressing the pedal notice the mobile camera probabley doing 35 by this time my question is when should you slow down just before the sign or as you are going through couldnt slam my brakes on as there was a car behind me will i get a fine ? where do they draw the line

Where do they draw the line????

Where the sign is FFS!

If you drive at the posted speed limit in town then what's the problem? Have no sympathy at all for idiots who break the limits in built up areas. Out on the open road is another matter.........

Your lack of knowledge of your responsibilities as a driver and the highway code is shocking. Do you actually hold a licence?

If so you'd know that when you pass the sign you should be within the posted limit. Whether that's 'just before' or some time depends on the situation doesn't it? ie if you have someone close behind you then slowly bleed off speed before you reach the sign. If you have to 'slam on' then I'd say that's borderline 'due care and attention'. Personally I rarely if ever have to brake down to the posted limit. Ever consider the benefits of planning ahead and letting your speed denude itself by letting your foot off the accelerator?

will wait till a normal scoobynett users turns up not a proven tosser

not as if i was doing warp speed just going from 40 mph to 30 no houses on the part i was on

Vapid

Your opinion of me, however incorrect, does not mitigate from the fact that my advice and comments above are 100% correct. Tell your lame excuse about 40 to 30 to the magistrates loser.

Learn to drive you pr1ck.

deanwoodward

that was meant for vapid by the way

deanwoodward

do you agree with speed cameras vapid?

Vapid

A bit of an obtuse question but no I'm not in favour of speed cameras being used in the way they are on UK roads.
Neither am I in favour of numpties who don't know their highway code being allowed anywhere near a car.

deanwoodward

so do you agree with them being hidden on a bend pointed at the exact place it goes from 40 to 30 mph i dont travel trough the village at 40 i do slow to 30 just did it a bit late this time

I don't agree with them being hidden anywhere. Neither do I agree with people who don't know their highway code being behind the wheel of a car.

Afraid I have to agree with vapids first post(without the anger ), personally I hardly ever use my breaks as I'm always looking ahead, though I have to say if you are driving in area you don't know it can be quite easy to get court out, at least you slowed down on noticing the sign the people that annoy me are the ones that hold everyone up doing 40 in a national then carry on doing 40 when they enter a 30

why would you have any problem with them if you always stick to the exact speed limit?

Vapid

I don't claim to stick to the exact speed limit. The 'problem' I have with speed cameras is that they are a blunt instrument.
What I do have a bigger problem with than speed cameras is the number of ill informed and under skilled drivers there are on roads I have to use. Like you for example.

On a slightly different note, I pass a few speed cameras outside of a school on my way to work. I realised the other day that when I go past them I spend most of the time looking at my speedo rather than the kids on the side of the road. I am actually MORE likely to run someone over because the cameras are there! How ironic is that?!?!

Surgical Spirit

Just out of interest are your qualifications as a good driver from your own observations or have you undergone any formal training/assessment?

deanwoodward

so your just saying its ok for you to speed cos you are better than me na na na na lol would you get full marks on your written test or your practical if you were to do it again surely no one is that perfect im not saying i was right but how wrong was i being if they caught me on camera at 35 while still slowing down am i going to get a nice letter through the door?

Legal Eagle

A greater irony would be if you crashed into the speed camera!

Vapid

I didn't say it was OK for me to speed.
I imagine I'd get full marks or very, very close on a written test as I've read and know my current highway code otherwise I wouldn't be driving in the UK.
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.

deanwoodward

but im not bitching i accept im wrong theres no need for you to reply anymore youve said what you think there is no more for you to say but i bet your going to

Think you would get a beeter response in the speeding section of Pistonheads to be honest.

Then you wont get the **** like you do on here!

showshow

theres a reason the Monaco Grand Prix is the jewel in the F1 crown, people love speeding in tight areas.

However i dont agree to this whole bull**** about how hes a crap driver if hes doing 40, if you ****ers who are critcising him do 30, good on yer grandads - but i doubt anyone does 30 anymore 35 minimum.

showshow

Scoobynet full of old faggits? who drive within the speed range? ALL THE TIME? even on the Motorway??

they create their own rules so they could be deemed superior, wat a bunch of c u n t s
