I just found out it wasn't a static/hand held camera of any sort it was a traffic cop in a Volvo, he got caught just after the Bluebell Hill jct..

Well he was doing over 90mph....
the secret, apparently, is not getting caught. |

If he got caught by a marked car maybe he wasn't paying sufficient attention?

He told me he accelerated from the slip road and didn't see the car.... the mirrors on his bike are so bad that you can't see anything..
For the record, I am a speed limit +10% +2 mph man.... I hate the thought of getting a ticket... |

Gatzo!
On the subject of tickets.... I got caught by a Gatzo coming through a tunnel near Isle of Dogs on my way back from the MCN motorbike show doing approx 39ish in a 30 (would have been slightly more but I saw the camera at the last minute and took emergency measures!) It did the double flash thing and i've been waiting ever since for the ticket - how long before I can breathe easy?

More on the subject of speeding tickets, a few of us went on the Mayday run last year and all got tickets for doing around 55 in a 40. Yes, speeding we were but not riding like inconsiderate nutters. We weren't caught by fixed camera's, or those in the back of vans, or those hiding behind hedges in laybys but we were all 'done' by cameras fixed to unmarked bikes!!!!
So the rozzers can have fun day riding their bikes taking shots of the rest of us.... Who says we live in a Police State?!! A lesson for this year if anyone plans to go down the A21 to Hastings on Mayday..... |

Lucati; As far as I know they have to have the NIP letter post marked within 28 days of the offence..
