Default Lucky me

I got pulled for 38mph in a 30 limit.

If anyone knows, it was Grapes Hill on the Norwich Ring Road. One of very few hills in Norfolk. A wide sweeping dual carriageway, three lanes each way and with open views, no buildings that close and heavy duty Armco barriers. The way I was going, downhill, it's a natural honey trap ...

Turns out they check to see if you've been offered one in the last 3 years (in which case it would have been 3 points and £60). Details then remain on file for a further 7 years.

So anyone who thought they heard the Coalition say they would be doing away with speed cameras better think again

I just did one last Saturday morning for 4 hours (at the Post House Hotel, remember that?)
First time ever caught in 27 years, similar circumstances to yours.

Russ.

After my time Russ.

Or is that what I knew as The Whistler now?

No hotels when I were a lad. Only pubs, mills and coal tips. And chippies.

And if you were going 1mph faster, the course is not an option and the FPN is mandatory!
