Discussion forum - caught speeding?
Do you think that police speed traps and Gatso cameras are out there just to make money? Have you ever been caught speeding and received points on your licence, do you think the fine was fair?

Ok, so in July I get caught speeding by a Gatso camera. I appreciate I am in the wrong for breaking the speed limit but what’s gone wrong? Police gone soft, can't catch anybody if they are a car thief or a house burglar?

We are being abused by this method of revenue collection, making "driving criminals" out of the most productive and useful members of society, when "thieving travellers" c...more | Richard P |
| 29-4-2008 | People who spend all there time whinging about speed cameras have not attended the scene of serious injury of fatal accidents.

| 31-3-2008 | Come on Nick, stop winding people up. They dont need you to make them look dumb with their arrogant self centred attitudes. We've seen the type on the road in their big cars with number plates with the special spacing that is meant to read like their names when really it says B16 KN013. Like you...more | Lou |
| 30-3-2008 | Its fine so long as the only people the idiot speeders kill is themself! Some people really need to pull their heads outta their rectums. | Digsy |
| 30-3-2008 | At least we agree on one thing Digsy. The 20 year old bit was a wind up. It's just that some people think you must be a geriatric if you think the police are within their rights to nick you for speeding. I'll end it there because no matter how many think speeding is dangerous/wrong/illegal t...more | Nick |

| 29-3-2008 | At last, someone who can see sense. I only wind up the stupid ones as it makes them dig a deeper hole. | Nick |
| 29-3-2008 | I was referring to your goading actually.....no long words included......obviously speeding is wrong, accidents can happen anywhere, a death on a quiet road is just as tragic a death in a residential area. If people want to 'beat the speed trap system' then they should stick to a reasonable ...more | Digsy |
| 29-3-2008 | Ooh get you, I think we can all see the idiots on here trying to look good using big words and ignoring the facts that speeding is not clever regardless of it being intentional or not, and the law is the law whether you drive a souped up Astra and live in a council house or a BMW and live in a mansi...more | Nick |
