Oof, unlucky. :( Still, you could have crashed into their car.
EDIT: That wasn't very comforting, was it. |

query it
MOTORISTS were today urged to query speeding tickets after a Suffolk bus driver was falsely accused of thundering through a 30mph limit at 81mph.
Trevor Martin, of Preston Drive, Ipswich, was actually travelling at 29mph when the fixed camera flashed his vehicle, on the A140 at Earl Stonham.
The 43-year-old was able to prove his innocence, as the bus he was driving was fitted with a tachograph, which recorded his speed, and a device preventing it going above 62mph.
Doubt was also cast on speed camera convictions after a hand-held speed gun which clocked a driver doing 132mph was found to be inaccurate
John MacGregor, 34, of Inverness, had been clocked on the A9 by police carrying a ProLaser III gun, which is used extensively across the UK.
However, his car was a "grey import" from Japan which was equipped with a speed limiter which meant it could not go above 112mph, rendering the gun's reading unreliable.
The case at Inverness Sheriff Court yesterday was found not proven and has now thrown doubt over the effectiveness of the device and the legality of prosecutions. |

Yeah always dispute it!
I got caught doing 110mph on the M1 @ loughbourgh, which usually means a driving ban of some period, i pleaded not guilty, took 6 months to come to court and in court i said it was not possible for me to be doing 110mph for the prescribed 2 miles they have to track you for on motorways due to the really bad traffic conditions, i said it was entirely possible at some points i was doing 85mph to overtake and pleaded guilty to that.
it was a comprimise that cost me £150 fine and 4 points but that was so much better than the driving ban i would have got for doing over a ton (btw i was doing 110mph and the bastard was in an unmarked car)

ive never seen a speed camera sign anywhere on the m1. thats reason enough to contest isnt it? |

You only need speed camera signs when there are fixed camera locations or those horrible mobile speed traps on the side of the road.
Police can pull you over any time, anywhere if you are doing over the speed limit.
