Not sure if I got flashed by a camera on the M1 last week. How long does it normally take to hear if you have a ticket etc?

ya alot of the gantrys over the road have the cameras turned on now, originally they just put a tonne of the lines down but now the cameras are on aswell.

similarly if you go through the variable speed limit zones those cameras change to match the limits and give them dat revenues.


you'll get the 'who was driving' letter through the post within 2-3 weeks or so I have heard :p

As i started the op i going to say that those to those who bang on about wearing seat belts, i had two hi speed crashes ( serving in the military driving normal cars) on both occasions one with a passenger, one solo on both times NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT SAVED MY LIFE -

We are meant to live in a democracy so what you might think is right i might think is wrong and vice versa

also cars are much more safer now a days with better impact bodies and air bags

"living in a democracy" doesn't mean choosing which laws you want to follow and which you want to disregard.

Since when? lol

[AdamM]

erm, since forever?

[Woodsey]

I think we choose every day mate to be honest, you never chosen to break to law? I think most of us have at some point or other.

[AdamM]

That's not what a democracy is though.
Completely unrelated.
If you choose to break the law, you face the consequences.
If you want to change the law, that's where democracy comes in.

And no, I don't break the law. In fact I have a job that requires strict adherence to the law to perform and would lose it if I did.

Well I break the law all the time, am 44 years old and have never faced any consequences. (Edit- other than speeding)

So you have never sped in your car?
Never gone through a red light in a 50/50 spot when you weren't sure whether to stop or go?
Eaten food when driving?
Parked on a double yellow line?
Parked with 2 wheels on the pavement?
Downloaded music/films illegally or watched illegal stream? Boxing ones even? lol

I could go on there are tons of laws, which get broken all the time. Now I'm sure there is the odd person who really never breaks the law, but most people claiming that would be lying  

[AdamM]

So you have never sped in your car? Not knowingly. Got done speeding twice as genuine mistakes. 3 points first time (before courses existed), did the course second time. No complaints.
Never gone through a red light in a 50/50 spot when you weren't sure whether to stop or go? No. I've seen lights go amber as I travel through a junction, but never red. I pay extra attention as I approach junctions and stop for amber/red lights.
Eaten food when driving? Very rarely, but eating/drinking/smoking (not that I do) while driving are not specifically illegal. The offense is not driving with due care and attention, which I do.
Parked on a double yellow line? No
Parked with 2 wheels on the pavement? No
Downloaded music/films illegally or watched illegal stream? Boxing ones even? lol No. I am strongly opposed to copyright theft. I pay for all my music/film/TV/etc

Ah right so you did choose to drive without due care and attemtion and therefore chose the break the law 

[AdamM]

No, I alway give due care and attention, even on very rare occasions I've eaten when driving.

Eating while driving is not against the law.
Drinking veg without a seat belt, plus the other things you listed are, so I don't do them
