I have been flashed doing the limit literally before Gantry said to slow to 40 coming out of London on the M1 and tried to contest it. Well, missus did as she was driving my car (luckily) but they wouldn’t have it. We swear there were no indications before but couldn’t say 100% in case we were mistaken.
Yeah, it had nothing on the actual individual gantry displays and just a sign on the left saying about the next gantry will be 50 or to slow 60, can’t remember exactly what.
Either ways, not happy if I got done!
What was the craic, points or speed awareness course?
Speed awareness for the missus. If I was drving it’d be a ban as I have only been driving for 2 years and had to do a speed awareness 2 weeks after passing.
Ah I see. Well, hopefully whatever comes my way (if anything) I’ll just deal with it then!
I imagine with crimbo being the actual date of 2 weeks away of the ‘offense’ then, it might be new year that I’ll hear.
Also I’ll put this here for anyone who doesn’t understand what I mean:
It was this circled on the left that was showing what I mentioned, not the individual gantries. I perhaps mistakenly didn’t realize that was the limit you do OR perhaps, cameras are iffy?
Anyways I’ll shut about it now and enjoy my cup of tea.

Speed awareness is nice and easy, just 4 hours out of your life but you get to meet other people, some mental characters and witness much stupidity.
The letter comes quick. Almost felt it was in the postbox when we got back from that journey.

Oh really? I thought it was a fortnight they send it across.
I got flashed doing 68 the other week going past a lorry on the inside lane, no other cars about
Not had anything through so not sure if it was flashing the lorry / if they are tech enough to do lorry limits also?
It’s seriously crossing my mind.
Pretty sure I got flashed accidentally running a red in London / poss going over a 20 limit, fuck knows.
When I drive in town I’m just trying not to crash

Just had to jetwash dogshit off my drive. It’s one thing to let your dog shit on the pavement but to leave it on someones fucking property…
If I catch them I’ll rub their noses in it (the owner…not the dog).

Our local Facebook group is full of posts from people showing clips from their Ring doorbell of someone letting a dog shit outside the poster’s house with a bonus close up photo of the shit itself, and an angry rant along the lines of “ItS not The dogs fault it’s The Owner who shud be ashemmed, when I catch ya ya’ll know orl about it”

I caught the guy who kept putting shit bags in my hedge. He had to walk home with 9 of them and a bonus bag in his hood. Michael Fabricant

What was his thought process of plastic bags of shit into your hedge? What were his reasons? Could he even begin to explain why he had done something so demented?
Some people not only shouldn’t be alowed to have dogs, but also shouldn’t be allowed to live.
i know people on here are super pro-dog but i feel like a lot of dog owners are some of the most sociopathic pricks going

The best are the ones who stop to talk about their dog to other dog owners in the middle of the path/pacement, watch you head towards them slowly for hundreds of yards and don’t move one inch for you.
Actually…what about the ones who bring their dogs into fenced off childrens playgrounds. They’re a special breed. “Don’t worry he won’t hurt you”… oh yeah. Got a special insight into another sentient beings mind have you?
Laughing when a dog starts jumping over you instead of apologising.
I could go on.
Absolute fucking Michael Fabricants.
