Alan999 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Got home off nights this morning to find a letter waiting for me saying i would be getting a court date. Now i got a speeding letter through so signed it and sent it back as at quick glance I read M62 motor way doing 76mph which I thought fair play get it sent back and sorted soon as so i dont get the £1000+ fine it goes on about. So today when i got this letter i phoned them up as i was abit shocked to get it to say the least & then to be told yes you were doing 76mph on the motor way in a 50mph! WTF i no there wasnt any road works on when i went and havent got a clue where it is, just no that its near Liverpool. Now i no that they dont give a damn that poeople have no points on there licence or anything else which annoys me even more and i would have held my hand up if I was hammering it and had been caught. Anyway enough of my rant but does anyone no what will go on with something like this and what i should expect from it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm not familiar with the area but do they have variable speed cameras mounted above the bridges etc. (i.e. if the electronic signs say 50 then the cameras adjust accordingly).

Alan999 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Cheers SupraAyf. I think i no where it was now and defo on the motorway just coming to the end as you get to liverpool it changes to a 50mph and theres a bloody fixed cam. First thing in the morning after coming off nights when i was going to pay a fortune for a bloody new passport. God its really pissed me off!

Havard Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I go down the M62 to Liverpool every week. There are no roadworks on there a the moment. You'll have got caught by the camera at the end of the motorway. There is a gatso in the trees on the left hand side of the motorway. The 50 limit starts about 500 yards from the camera. Unlucky mate, they are all a bunch of twats!! Just explain that you don't know the area and thought that motorways were 70. You should get 3 points & £60. Or jailed!!! H.

Edit - or as Alan999 said just before!! Ill vote jail. That will mean i will have to miss a days work and drive back over there and prob get had by the bloody thing AGAIN! Do hope its just 3points and £60 as thats what i thought i would get for it anyway not some bloody court case! Now thats what you call over kill. never thought i would ever be stood in court on that side of things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_a Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 if it is in the trees then maybe it isn't as visible as it should be... just trying to think of a way out. £60 and 3 points is to be hoped for especially if they can't be too fussed about you. just plead insanity (but not driving whilst tired!) m.

Like I said, most of my customers are in Liverpool and everytime I get to that stretch you have to be so careful. One of these days I'll be daydreaming or talking on my mobile (handsfree) and not see it. Good luck mate. Hope you come to Mascrat on the 12th Feb before you get sent down:D H.

Chewie Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 buy a radar detector i know there illegal now but if the police r using technology to catch ya , use technology to avoid em:) Typical earthling. A radar detector would be feeble and futile against the awesome might of a LASER camera. [GRIN][/GRIN] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 ive seen around 3-4 places where its down to 50 cus of roadworks junction 10 downwards. don't forget also if the little signs over the motorway are flashing 50 for a temporary queue of traffic, mobile cameras are allowed to check you at 50 or whatever the signs say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
