On the M40 earlier this evening... it was dark and raining...

I was driving at 60 something while most of the other cars were driving slower than me. To be honest 6x is not fast at all! Then I saw the 50 sign and 'average speed check'. Soooo, I think I missed the first sign where everybody else started to slow down... :(

I drove at 40 for the rest of that part... hope those cameras didn't catch me because of the bad weather anyway!

if its by the uxbridge turn off at the start of the m 40 you should be ok, if in doubt tho, always switch lanes

Re: :( :( :( :( :( possible speeding ticket

hmmm... it was near warwick. HAHAHA, that's what i did.. switching lanes... from the fast lane to the lorry lane!

They say the register keeper of the car should receive the notice thing within 14days... how long does it usually take to arrive?

Thats 6 points straight away, there is no fast lane, there is no lorry lane.
Just lane's 1 & 2, or 1, 2, & 3. Couldn't be more simple! :lol:

it can take quite a while to come through, month or so, but you should be ok with the lane swapping, fingers crossed

Re: :( :( :( :( :( possible speeding ticket

actually you are not ok with lane swapping they randomly switch which lanes the cameras point at. that is why there is always three or more sets so that whatever lane you go into you will have been previously clocked.....

the 599 "lost" its plate even though both had been at the goodwood breakfast club that day with the plates on, there were photos to prove it but they are no longer online for obvious reasons!

Iphong,

Sorry to hear that you may get a ticket, just hope that when you graduate that you still have your licence lol

(Only joking)

WE DONT HAVE SPEED CAMERAS HERE IN BULGARIA AT ALL.

5 years ago my husband got stopped doing i think 157 km in a 30 km

Well the roads over here are totally empty, anyway a Lada Police car was sitting in a garden with a radar gun (think the gun was worth more than the Lada) the radar guns they use are very very old, anyway the policeman pulled my husband over (in fact he stood in the middle of the road with a little red STOP sign in his hand) nearly run him over lol
My husband was told to get out of the car and look at the Radar reading which said i think 157 km (might have been more) the polceman then said that my husband was in trouble if he did not slow down and then proceeded to give a hand jesture of money!

My husband speaks Bulgarian but pretended he did not understand, end result 10 Leva (about 2.75p then) he had to pay and on our merry way we went.

No points, licence clean, just 2.75 lighter lol

Bulgaria was like a ghost town/country then just nothing on the roads,
Still nothing really now thinking about it.

Oh we dont have Yellow lines or Traffic Wardens either !

Bye Spanner Anna and Sunny Bulgaria xx
