Any speeding tickets yet?
I drive without a radar and just driving in soort mode is very fun and addicting. Problem is i go way over speed limit and dont wanna be a cautionary tale. Anyone get speeding ticket or collision so i can change now?
Its funny and strange though that two times i should have gotten a ticket (cutting a cop where i should have yield and other time doing a uturn right in front a cop and he saw) Not sure if covid had to due to with anything? Or riots where police is the bad guy now in many eyes but i wanna get reformed and drove better my driving record is clean for last 3 years |

Strangely, I've noticed that it's other drivers that have a bias against my car and my driving, not police. In a Honda Accord, I never had anywhere near the amount of hostility on the road regarding being cut off, etc. In fact, I've blatantly and inadvertantly sped past cops on several occasions, but I guess they see a nice car and give me a pass, as opposed to a lesser vehicle. Shrug. I even passed the vehicle going 5 under across a double yellow line, and passed him at about double the speed limit. when completing the pass, I noticed there was a cop behind the car behind me. Nothing.

In the UK there there has been a recent focus by police on speeding as well as vehicles with excessively tinted windows and other failings.
For the benefit of non-UK members, many police cars have an automatic number plate recognition device which will instantly flag up no road tax, no insurance, no annual test certificate but also if the car has a marker for previous use drugs, burglary (or intelligence for) or driver is wanted, etc. ll quite high tech. Then we have to content with vans with a speed camera in the back or side, and in some cases the front pointing at us. Plus we have static patrols with laser cameras at sites of local concern. Last November, I was on my way to Swindon to meet a friend visiting from NYC, got onto the A419 at Cirencester, and booted it to overtake slower cars, then saw a camera van in a layby, back door open and was doing 90! Reviewing my dash cam footage was sobering too. Screwed I thought, but after 2 weeks of misery, heard nothing, so guess he was setting up, packing up or had taken a leak. Just lucky. Made me calm it down since, and lower the level of the on-board speed warning gong. |
