In the name of increasing road safety

A mate of mine has just got an extra 3 points for doing 34 in a 30
limit. The non-revenue related Gatso's in question are in Tilehurst,
Reading.

A police spokesman said that they were also on the lookout for an
accident blackspot that they can place next to the camera's, however
so far there enquiries had drawn a blank.

The local motto on the police vehicles is "reducing crime, disorder
and fear" - What with gatso's and "road safety vans"........ **** OFF!

 

so much for the oft touted "10% plus 2 mph" leeway ....

It isn't. IIRC it's 10% plus 2 mph for a nick. Therefore 10% + 1 is
legal.

 

In this case 34mph is within 10%+2 (30+3+2 = 35)

I do recall mention of some cowboys dropping it to 10%+1, but on the
other hand, wibble flip dibble doo.

 

strictly speaking anything over the limit is a nick as far as I
understand ... the 10% + whatever is only a recommendation which many
forces are increasingly ignoring [1]

[1] in the interests of road safety of course

Which road(s)? My youngest sister lives in Tilehurst, so a warning to be
extra vigilant might be in order.

Drugs are bad, mmmmkay.

 

I thought that the 10% was because of manufacturers being allowed to make
speedos that were that much incorrect?
Mind you they tend to make them overread if anything......

 

I used to think that but recently I've read in the local rags of a
couple of people being done for 32 in a 30 etc so north Wales plod has
obviously decided to take Brunstroms zero tolereance to another level
....

25 in a 30 is the only way I can see to avoid the chance of a booking?

I would so love to alter our Reading plods motto to
"Inducing Crime, Dissorder And Fear"...

The problem is doing it without getting caught...

What kind of maths do they teach in wales?

30 sheeps - 10% of 30 sheeps is 27 sheeps, not 25.

 

Police forces arent ignoring it - they are sticking to the ACPO
guidelines. Council highways enforcements arent bound by the
guidelines though so they are ignoring them.
