OUCH

Thankfully my insurance company (Sky) went "6 points? Meh!" and my premium even went down £50 come renewal time

The thing that really gets me about speed vans (not sure is this a only Scottish thing) its not police personell that man them, its some 3rd party company. How come it's illegal to impersonate the police and they get away with it?

Great photoshop!

If they're not plod in the scamera vans, couldn't you have some fun with them back? I mean, aside from beating the cra p out of them...

I always give the finger to the camera van b****ds, and slow all the traffic down behind me to about 10mph sometimes

What is a vehicle ASBO

is that like a section 16 or whatever it is for noise pollution?

I don't know what the definition is but I got my one years ago or overtaking an undercover beat cop police car

It lasts for a year then goes. It's not a conviction.

Stay away from Admiral they will load your insurance for that and the speed awareness course. I have to pay an extra £69.50 a year for the next 5 years if I stay with them for a no fault accident when I was not even in the car and it cost them sod all(guess who will not renew with them next time!!

LO All

Got a letter today asking if i want to attend a speed awareness course , going to cost £91 but no points.
So i will prob go on it as it's going to cost £60 plus 3 points otherwise.

Funny thing is i was aware of my speed i just didn't think i was speeding

OH well , will give them a ring tommorow and arrange one

Cheers
