if its a gun they usually pull you over its only a radar and not a camera so i wouldnt worry.

cheers :) always worth a check with people who know what there on about and not my mates :p

Theres a possibility.

Although, if your getting worried about it it shows that you know you shouldnt be doing it anyway, 30's and 40's should be stuck to tbh...

:D

yeh i know that now lol!! the stretch of roads a bastard! last monday there was an undercover cop car sat on the side lucky a van driver flashed me!!

You may still get a NIP in the post.

However most set thier thresholds for the guns at 10 mph over the limit, I got caught doing 39 in a 30 on the run up to the cat and fiddle, but slowed down to 24 by the time i was close enough to get a reading due to a kind merc driving flashing me on the other side, to warn me of pc plod hiding behind a garden wall.

he stopped me anyway and told me to step off the loud pedal and be a bit more careful in future, but said if i was doing 40 he would have issued a NIP.

basically learn your lesson and just wait it out to see if you get a ticket or not, no point asking internet hearsay tho, its as reliable as your mates

haha yeh I'm just going to wait to see if i get anything in the post lol :)

Take things a bit more seriously next time too speeding in 30s/40s isn't something to "lol" about.

yeh i wont be "loling" if i get a letter! hopefully i wont and i have deffinitely decided its not worth speeding!!

:lol:

Good stuff.

You have to remeber if your speedo said 47 theres a high chance you were doind something more like 43-44 because they're always slightly below and you usually get let off by 10% of the speed limit so you can do 44mph but still you should really do what your speedo says just to be on the safe side

I was lucky as shit in cornwall this year.

Doing 80 in a 50. No houses, pavements or anything just pure gorgeous cornish roads near penzance.

Flying round a perfect road, van flashing me on other side, Immediately hit the slow pedal.

Probably would of been caught if there wasn't two tractors after the van blocking the talivan's view.

oh update nothings come thru so its all gravy :ninja:

The threshold on a mobile gun (for south Yorkshire) is 10% +4mph so, 49+ and you get ticketed. If it's a static camera it's just 10%

thats not to be relied on as it depends on the wheels/tyres.

I wouldn't worry I got flashed doing 56 in a 40 had no idea where I was and got the speeding course no points matey
