One of my friends was due on one... I suggested it was essential travel
Seriously, though, it would be allowed as it fits the specific exemption of fulfilling a legal obligation. |

Travelled on the M25 yesterday J10-21a and back (yes, it was "essential travel" ). Very few people speeding. Not surprising in a way because it's festooned with speed cameras. And there were very fe ... |

Bloody ridiculous justice. Woman with 66 points for speeding not only doesn't go to jail, she keeps her licence.
But this wasn't a motoring offence that was being tried. Perverting the course of just ... |

Cars are getting quieter, faster, and more economical on fuel every year, so no surprise that people are driving faster because it feels safe and comfortable.
The chances of getting caught speeding ... |

It's almost impossible to speed on the IoW anyway. The locals do seem to drive pretty slowly, so it's inevitable that you'll soon be behind some granny pootling along in their Honda Jazz at 30mph, no ... |

Councils do not prosecute speeding offences even if they provided funding for the camera so the results are the same.......
Though Surrey police, for example, handle a lot of the M25 tickets in the w ... |

I wonder what the tollerance is, not that I would ever exceed true 50mph.No reason to think that they don't use the standard tolerances for prosecution thresholds. Remember though, that Scotland does ... |

There is still a lot (almost everything these days) that includes an 'interactive telecommunication function'.
Sat-Nav such as Google Maps is constantly interacting with Google for traffic, map upd ... |

What they are saying is that more people are being caught. They are not saying that more people are speeding than were before. With the increase in cameras everywhere, I would guess that the number of ... |

Being from the south of England, don't travel that way often. But went Aberdeen to Forfar (and back) last October, and it seemed that the 70 limit was being stuck to pretty well. There's even one poin ... |
