How many of you have/almost been caught by a speed camera??

SiKkBaSs · 03-01-2009, 03:34 PM

Come on boys/girls. I've just been out on a spirited drive after a "fuel up", seeing the miswah and then meeting my cousin BiK. We had a close call in a 40mph zone, saw it just in time and safely curbed the speed I was going. It is a 40 mph zone, no pedestrian zone, on a two lane road, makes me think carefully about my speed again...well at least until UK7

ChYeah!

LOL...

Well cameras can be seen usually so can slow down for them.

Its the vans in laybys that scare me, come round a bend they have you. Not ike a gatso, which you can slam on the anchors for.

Had some close calls with un marked cars...

Erm not had any bother with cameras, but been pulled up by cops lol and got sent on a speeding course

ed335d · 03-01-2009, 04:24 PM

Nearly, a couple of weeks ago. Coming down the A3 out of the 50mph zone near Esher, had some cock in front of me who took ages to get out of the way. Drove a bit further on and wondered what the funny roadside signs were that looked like mobile speed cam............ fook, anchors!

Seems like they now put warnings down before a mobile unit. Think (hope) I saw them in time.

I'm sure I've been 'flashed' on the A1 in the past, but nothing ever came of it........not complaining though.

What did you see?

beemerbird · 03-01-2009, 05:17 PM

Someone told me alot of the time there's not any film in these cameras, but how are you going to know ffs.

Will - as usual they're always too small to see.

I got flashed 3 times in 3 weeks after picking my M3. However, no tickets came through for some reason.
Bought a camera detector and used it twice. Now I just dont speed

beemerbird · 03-05-2009, 02:37 PM

Anyone any experience of how good these camera detectors are?
