caught speeding

[smurfL6]

My stupid husband got flashed by a speed camera on the m4 eastbound port talbot yesterday. Doing 75 in a 50....His excuse ' I didnt think the camera worked cos i've passed it before doing 60.
Grrrr in my Hilux too.................

What points/fine do you think he will get (its was 430am and the road was empty, if that makes a difference)

[Ploddit]

threshold is 75mph....

[smurfL6]

So hopefully the speedo on the surf overestimated his speed by a few mph...He'll be bricking it for 2 weeks now

[BUSHWHACKER]

Wow 75mph in a 2.4!

A summons for £60 will be in the mail and he'll receive three penalty points.

Can't blame the man...


































...I'd speed past Port Talbot if I could as well!

I'm on this mans side while the government concentrates on filling the coffers the motorist must suffer. H

Yea we should all be able to drive as fast as we want and how about a MINIMUM 50mph limit past all schools, that would be great!

very subjective, depends on the local forces policy. Some can and do from time to time operate a zero policy and come down heavy. Will also take in to account road, schools, etc etc take nothing for granted................

Not in a 50mph zone

It's a stupid place for a 50 zone. it's a large sweeping bend and can easily be driven at normal motorway speeds. (imo)

Is say he's looking at 6 points and 100+ fine going by other peoples experiences.
A mate got stopped speeding and was told that the general rule is 3points and 60 fine for each 10mph over the speed limit , unless other cicumstances are taken into consideration like schools etc near by , in which case the fine will be worse

Nope, the section of the M4 where the 50mph zone is, is a raised section of motorway with no hard shoulders but a few on/off ramps.
A £60 fine and three points is all he'll receive.

I hope so, I tested the speedo today against my sat nav and the hilux is reading 2mph over what the sat nav says. So hopefully he's was just under 75

Any good wife would take that hit and the points for her husband, wouldn't they?
