NIP - Arsebiscuits

They were out with one of those on the A465 this lunchtime - think it
was a Ford Courrier thing though.

Also spotted one on the side of the road just after the Abergavenny
turn-off at the bottom of Black Rock Hill.

I'm usually out early enough to avoid them, but had been looking in on a
colleague's store this morning. Fortunately lots of people were flashing
to warn oncoming traffic.

Oh bugger. TBFTGOGGI. Hope you do find a way out, and if you don't that
the beak got well and truly blown on the relevant morning.

Now, excuse me, I have a workshop calling. ;^)

They clamped a car in my street this week - notice on screen said summat
about no tax disc.

 

NINJA!

Bad luck Mr Pip, Sir.

I hope the photo comes through and shows something completely different.
Like a gold Allegro or something

They clamped 4 in my street, 3 of which were from my household :-/

 

DVLA wrote to me twice this week - once thanking me for telling them
I'd sold the Renault - and once reminding me that the tax on said
Renault would expire at the end of this month ;-)

 

the cont known as Pip says...

I'm aware of the Renault(1) needing tax. I had the Golf sorn'ed but
they claimed it wasn't on private property so I waved goodbye to £80:-(

(1) You were right about the torque factor, managed to outdrag an
escrot turbot up a hill the other week which pissed him off even more
than I had before

 

it.

Tough luck mate.

I'm on the last few days wait to see if I get one.

 

Oooh ****

Tell us what day any appearance might be, so we can come and heckle
the three poor fools who are just before you, just to set the beak's
mind on "agitated", then you can appear all charm and common sense!

 

And when you write, make it Recorded Delivery, and get the delivery
receipt. A colleague of mine had *weeks* of grief with letters
apparently not being received by the court :-/

 

<mum mode> No such word as can't. </mum mode>

See what the photo shows before you lube up.

 

Sorry to hear all of that, mate.

Good luck if it does go to court.

 

I have also just had a NIP - for 48mph in a 40 zone. And on that bit
of road I keep a *very* sharp look out cos I know it's a favourite
cash generation zone..

Likewise. I had a intense desire to use the camera
to measure the speed of flow in the operators colon

Just re-read this thread due to a new posting, and thought I'd drop in
my farthings-worth.

The Dorset lot around here have a recent toy which is a grey box about
the size of a speed camera but is mounted on legs and ends up about two
feet high. It sits at the side of the road with a cable running back to
the van which is normally hidden in a layby.

Their other favourite is to sit the box in the triangle between a main
road and a slip road with the van on the grass on the other side of the
slip road, and catch people on the main road as they pass the junction.

Maybe you caught a similar device - would explain the low angle and not
seeing it.

 

Good safety device - really slowing you down.

What a crock of shit.

 

The safety aspect is you don't know if and when you are going to be
caught and the threat to your licence and bank balance is such that you
ride/drive everywhere within the speed limits all the time.

That's the whole point; to keep speeds below the limit.

For the 'anti' campaigners to argue that the camera sites cause more
accidents and then in more or less the same breath call for higher levels
of visibility is probably not that helpful.

The country's roads have speed limits it's the law that you stay within
those limits. If you choose not to it's a calculated risk.
