    Bugger it.

    39mph in a 30, static camera which has been there for years and I go
    past it twice a day but I just... forgot. Was facing the correct
    direction for a GATSO numberplate shot and everything :(

    I didn't notice it go off (I was facing away from the camera and it
    was bright and sunny) but by the time I realised how fast I was going
    (and put on the brakes) I was already half way through the road
    markings.

    <sigh>

    I suppose getting an SP30 is better than getting clocked doing 110 on
    the bike, or 150 in the car on a motorway - I don't know how I managed
    to keep my licence clean for so long.

    I guess I'll find out if there was any film in it in a couple of
    weeks. Pissflaps and buggery.

    Go back and take a look at it properly, there may not have even been a
    camera in it.
    If there was I understand they are unable to remain intact after pikeys set
    fire to a tyre around the column.

    I've just recieved one for 37mph. My first for 5 years.
    Camera has been unused for a couple of years, and as it is in the
    Durham district where there are no cameras, I thought I would be ok.
    Northumbria police have taken it over for some strange reason.

    When I pick on it in the mornings sometimes (It's a very old Gatso and
    one can set it off by going at it head on (wrong way)) it doesn't
    normally take a pickie until one is doing over 40... but I just
    thought it was a fault in that model.

    Hmm...

    could be a good sign - they only flash as you approach them face on if
    there is no film

    you may be lucky in that it is an old one left for deterrent porpoises

    BGN did scribe:
    Hard luck mate.

    I've got my fingers crossed at the moment.

    There's a stretch near me whihc is dual carriageway, but has a 40
    limit. I, and eveyone else, normally go down there at 50 - 60. There
    was a camera van on it yesterday.

    I was just about to overtake the line of cars I had caught, when I saw
    it, and put the anchors on. I'm just hoping they got the cars infront
    of me but couldn't get the camera on me specifically.
