My license is clean at the moment, but I've had 6 points on it in the past.
They haven't caught me in the last 14 years.

(Guess I should expect a NIP through the door now.)

I don't remember where it could have happened though. Might have to pop back that way and see if it was a Gatso or mobile camera..........and attach some explosives to it!!

Should say on the NIP. Probably a mobile unit.
I find myself slowing down at all overpasses these days. Just in case.

Never had any points on my license, its not that I don't go over the speed limit, Ive never been caught.

Just a question of time now.

Yup. Guess it is a situation of when, not if you get those points in this money grabbing country of ours. Oh sorry it's all about safety isn't it. My mistake!
