jazz1 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ok today I was driving on dual carriage by pass doing 42 when the speed limit is 50. I always drive this route to work and always check my speed when passing that camera. Anyways it flashed twice, as soon as it did I checked my speed at 42, there were no cars behind me so would I get a ticket? I can't recall if I passed the white lines but I was very distant away from the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Don't worry about it Jazz. That speed camera's probably got rats nestling in it, messing with the wires etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Jazz, you need to drive faster mate. Above 88mph and those cameras don't react in time. Na, Seriously, you'll be fined. I mean fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks guy , ED lol, I'd love to drive faster but I don't think my micra can handle the speed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Probably why it flashed then - most Micras don't go above 18mph, in first gear, clutch half in, 15,000rpm, eyes and trilby just above the steering wheel.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Lol must have flashed me for under speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 An indicated 42 in a 50? People like you are the bain of my driving life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Probably astonished that a Micra was doing 42 - they're limited to 18mph by law I thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 An indicated 42 in a 50? People like you are the bain of my driving life. I was in left lane . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Probably astonished that a Micra was doing 42 - they're limited to 18mph by law I thought! Yeah but there's a cunning trick to getting past that. If you push the accelerator pedal down while in gear with the clutch raised you get this wonderful thing called acceleration. It's a shame it's not written in the handbook, most of the owners would probably make it to their destination before the blue rinse wore off.

Scott Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I was in left lane . Yes but the no.2 bain of my driving life is the people who insist at overtaking cars by increasing their speed by 1mph of the car they are passing..... thus taking over the 2nd lane (add bains to the amount of lanes) and therefor slowing all traffic down.

Caesard Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Lol, don't mind the micra hecklers. Tell them you are driving slowly so that passerbys can admire your 13" spinning rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the micra does not have a turbo for it to speed up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
