Did I get caught speeding?

It was literally just before Snett.... High up on the bank.

If you look at the map, its a sneaky back road that happens to look over the long straight...

I took my kids to a Police and Fire Open day a few weeks ago (they loved it!), and got talking to Mr Policeman about speed guns etc (they had a number on show).

He said they 'tend' to give people 10mph leaway but have the right to stop people if they are over the limit at all, even by 1mph.  He said it would be very rare to be done for a few mph over the limit, but you could be (depends on your attitude to them when stopped I think!)

So, assume nothing.  Don't assume you can do 77mph and get away with it.

I got flashed last night by a GATSO .... about 11pm, and it went off in my face. Very "safety" aware NOT. You'd think by now they'd have sorted that problem by now. Rear facing GATSO's should *not* flash oncoming traffic!

Law allows 10% for speedo era, however if the officer is having a bad day or hates your car then it may be followed through.
I think you'll be ok   :police: :police:

There's an "undocumented feature" (aka bug) in the GATSO software, Neil.

Tut tut, naughty boy if you managed to set that off  [-X =;
