my pal's pal's pal was driving home from work one day along a quiet road and he slowed as he approached a speed camera, but it still snapped him. :x

Being in no hurry he reversed back past the speed camera and went through again even slower this time. :? Once again it snapped him so he reversed for a final time and crawled through at about 5mph with it snapping him again. :-D After this he just carried on home. A few weeks later he got three envelopes through the door fining him for driving without a seat belt! :shock:

Probably not true but its a great story if it is!

you never heard of not signing the NIP loop-hole.??....personally i didn't have the guts to try it and signed the form and a cheque for £60 and posted it....my cash was probably wasted on another speed bump my car can't get over!

speed cameras bloody every where!!!! i hate the ones they have in the back of vans the most! pure fleecing

Its as likely to be real as the old trick of sending £60.01 and not cashing the penny cheque they return to you. Legally they are not meant to be able to take your money unless the exact amount is settled

JoeyJoJo

Surely they have already taken the £60 when they refund the £0.01 though?

If you decide not to cash the cheque then that is your own problem as they will have it on record that they have sent you it?

It might never have arrived? damn post!
Its a wives tale as far as im concerned anyway 8)

But from their point of view, if an auditor was to look at their accounts they would see a cheque was made out to the driver.

If the driver said they had never received it, they could easily cancel the old one and reissue a cheque and send by recorded delivery.

I'm pretty sure it is! It would never work!

You can get special paint that makes the numberplate perfectly legible normally, but illegible if photographed.

That'd be neat.

Cool, I'd love to get my hands on a tin of that! (Not that my car goes that fast anyway!!)

I'm convinced some cameras just flash and have no film in anyway. I got flashed last summer when I was in Hemel Hempstead doing 50mph in a 40mph - never had anything for it!

I was doing at least 80-85 all the way down the M25 on the way there too and theres loads of them on there!
