Damned Pegaso

It's quicker and keener than I knew.
Not had the bike for a week yet and a NIP has landed.

What's the chance of a speed awareness course c/o Lancs
constabulary, do they offer them to bikers?

Bookmarked, thanks.
No point in avoiding culpability, just hoping for a speed
awareness course to maintain my cleanish (6 years clean)
licence.

Bad luck, old chap.

On a similar note, does anyone know how keen the 'new generation'
speed cameras (the small-ish one mounted on very high poles) are? I
got flashed on the Cromwell Road on Thursday. Do they always have
film in? Will it have been able to read my small and dirty
numberplate?

 

Bad luck, old chap.

They're hi-res digital...

 

Oh dear oh dear oh dear...

 

They are fucking good quality too. I know, i got one & asked for a picture
thinking i would get some shitty print. Like ****, you could see everything.

As mentioned, they're digital so they never need servicing, hence why
they can be put on such high poles. The NIP can be in the post before
you've even made it home. They're made by a firm called Redspeed.

There are shitloads of them around now and it's a right PITA because my
brain hasn't yet trained itself to pattern-match them. Traditional
gatsos I can spot automatically but I have to keep them peeled for the
new ones.

 

I take it you were rapidly approaching a go like **** zone?

 

This is all bad news.

Well, I haven't ridden in London for ages, and was a bit taken aback
by just how many speed cameras there are their now. I came in from a
north-ish direction on Weds, and (I think) spotted all the new-style
cameras, but then I didn't really know where I was going, so was
looking out for everything. On Thurs, on the way home, I know the way
out west on the Cromwell road really well (just past my alma mater, in
fact), so was somehow paying less attention.

If it's got me, I suspect the speed could put me in "oh shit"
territory.

 

First place I saw them was Bristol about five years ago.

Until the 24th of August, every moment of every journey I do by car or
bike is "oh shit" territory.

It's rubbish.

 

I've only seen the pics from an old-fashioned b'n'w gatso. That was more
than clear enough.

 

No. They have to send it within 14 days. You don't have to receive it at
all.
