If you sit down and work out how much time you 'save' by doing 90 rather 80, or 80 rather than 70 it's usually surprisingly little. The only time it's significantly quicker is if you're doing a long motorway run with no traffic and no stops. Fat chance. I still struggle to stick at 70 on motorways though.
A friend got caught speeding but says the only reason they did was so that they could pull out and let a lorry onto the motorway otherwise there'd have been an accident. Can they argue in any way?? I have no idea since I have an impeccably clean license.
That was my thought. Granted they could just be making it up so they don't look silly. I won't rub it in to them that I still have a clean license.
Yeah, it's there most days, usually around Abington services, there's a couple of long sweeping bends and then a straight with the bridge. Incidentally did you know that in Scotland, if you get stopped by an actual traffic car, there has to be 2 officers in the car in order to charge you, a single officer cannot charge you in Scotland.
No , 10 days gone now - apparently you hear within 14 so on the final straight , hearing now would be like a 93rd minute kick in the balls
I believe it's supposed to be working days and the post can't be relied upon anyway, it's often very late. I had a parking ticket that was well over 14 days, working or not.
Bollocks - that means I've got a few more days of waiting. It's is definitely 14 days though. Not sure whether it's working or just 14 days.
If you're taking about "Corroboration", I believe they've fitted the cars with video recording equipment to amongst other things accomodate a reduction in officers. That gives them the video footage as one source (time taken between 2 points in the video to verify speed matches the on screen display after the event) and the single officer (referring to their own speed in following you) as the other. They definitely have the video equipment, but there were still 2 officers the time I got pulled anyway. (slowed for a camera, accelerated after it, ****ing radiator grill started flashing blue )
I'm not sure under what circumstances the 2 officer rule is applicable these days, but I have a friend who is a traffic police officer so I'll ask him next time I see him. Obviously with video evidence, as you suggest, you would think 1 officer would be suffice, but the law can be quite funny in Scotland, and is very different to English and Welsh law so it would be interesting to find out.
