At least it meant they weren't manning a hidden speed trap somewhere <bitch mode> SO thinks another NIP letter [1] is winging its way to her (or me, as she was driving my car at the time...) Speed camera on stretch of road in Liverpool (west derby road) - limit 30, she was doing "about 37"..... The stretch is only 30 as it is next to a school, speed camera was set up at about 1pm on a Sunday. Bloody pointless, although I have seen police there loads of times and am always looking out for them - she really should pay more attention as they are not exactly difficult to notice - in fact last time I saw a camera on that site it was accompanied by two large police vans so plod were not exactly being subtle. [1] SO is expecting a NIP letter for doing an illegal U turn into roadworks. </bitch mode>
Unlucky, but no excuse really is there? Seems like your SO is having an rough time of it - perhaps she should open her eyes a little? -- Dnc B1200 - +30bhp ~|~ ZZR1100 - faster when upright V2300 - flat cap and rug ~|~ VS800 - borked MIB#26 two#54(soiled) UKRMMA#26 BOTAFOT#153 X-FOT#003

Seems like your SO is having an rough time of it - perhaps she should Duly passed on! To be honest its one of those roads that you cannot understand why the limit is that low - its a dual carrageway that goes into single carrageway after about 2 miles and should really be a 40 (IMHO)
Didn't you mention a school? -- Dnc B1200 - +30bhp ~|~ ZZR1100 - faster when upright V2300 - flat cap and rug ~|~ VS800 - borked MIB#26 two#54(soiled) UKRMMA#26 BOTAFOT#153 X-FOT#003
Apart from the fact that there is a mixture of houses and shops on that stretch of road, too. Which is probably a good enough reason for the 30 limit. -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
Apart from the fact that there is a mixture of houses and shops on that This is heading down West Derby road after the Belmont Road/Shiel Road junction (into town) Theres a school right at the end and housing on the left (behind high fencing) and houses on the right (a few closes of which only a few are accessable from the main road.) On that road there are no shops or houses going straight onto the main road (dual carraigeway), as far as I can tell. The speed camera was apparrently almost opposite the fixed GATSO, probably trapping the people who routinely slow down for it!
You know the answer to that, though, don't you? Don't speed in a 30, then you won't get caught. ) -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
But they could not be sure it wasn't an illegal import, bought from a back-street trader and had lots of nasty, spiky things to do damage to little eyes and ... tyres.
You know the answer to that, though, don't you? Don't speed in a 30, That is a fair point! Though it seems to be one of those roads where you have to make a real effort to keep the speed at 30 - even at 35 you seem to be plodding along. Then again if you go at anything below 30 you run the risk of having you wheels nicked.
