Come on then own up....

Okay firstly speeding is wrong and dangerous and I don't condone speeding....

However...

Tayside police wrote me a nice letter today to advise me that they were less than chuffed to have a pic of me bombing past their grey painted camera Nr Blair Atholl at 75 mph (60mph limit)

So who else has got any letters or will I be the only one....and considering that we past many more cameras on the way down I wonder how many more....

Also I remember this camera was not painted a visible colour on the reverse and the helpfull leaflet enclosed with my NIP explains that fixed cameras are easy to see as they are painted yellow with red stripes...Any thoughts on this? Anyone in the area and know the camera?

Oh bugger MacP that's bad news

The most I managed was about 0.00000001 mph on that night and that was from the sofa to the loo

Re: Come on then own up....

Sorry to hear it dude...I'm fairly certain you won't be alone in this though.

I await my own "official mail" with baited breath. Am I right in thinking they have to mail you within 28 days of the alleged offence?



That stretch of the A9 seems to be a particular favourite with the Rozzers up there, take a look http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148479 for some potential advice.
