oobster Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Got flashed tonight on the A89 coming back from Edinburgh. The camera is located on the eastbound side of the road about a mile back from the newbridge roundabout. It was pointing towards me - i was doing about 55 in a 40 limit (annoying thing is i've known it was there for years!!!) The road isn't a dual carraigeway - just one lane eastbound and one westbound. But the slash-marks on the road were painted on both lanes. am i ok or should i put the scoob up for sale!
Gumball Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 fixed camera facing towards you on the other side of the rd? im afraid that the government have missed an opportunity to make 60notes. this is down to the fact that as there is a european court of human rights etc etc, you cannot be prosecuted. basically, you could have been out with a tall dark handsome man, after telling the missus you were going to the shop for milk............................................ its not for them to drop you in it, and hence you can only get done if you drive past and away from it. hope this helps? excuse my example, im sure you werent with the above named anyway?
sma01 Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 dont think the fixed cameras can do you if they are facing towards you mate......hopefully you will be ok
wrxmania Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 << am i ok or should i put the scoob up for sale! >> 9 points already then???????? Brian
Vixter Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Thats where i got caught on xmas eve. Ok maybe not by the same camera in that area though
wrxmania Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 This is useful sometimes and is GPS so will be legal when the proposed ban on laser and radar etc comes in Brian
spooks Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Been flashed there many many many times nowt to worry about if you were facing that one Spooks
st3ph3n Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 oobster, don't let this new found understanding of the law encourage you to set them off for fun whilst going at them.
ANDYJDMSTI Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 << Been flashed there many many many times nowt to worry about if you were facing that one Spooks >> memory of a gold fish then scott????
pmacFTO Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I always make that one flash - and then look in my mirror to see all the people passing it brake even more If you are driving towards Broxburn it's fine if it flashes....
Gumball Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 WHO JUST SAID DONT DO IT? whit???????? drive towards it and set it off as swiggi drives the other way just to give him that gumball experience hes looking for SWIGGI
oobster Posted April 4, 2005 Author Posted April 4, 2005 Many thanks to everyone for the advice - the majority have said i should be ok, but i'll let you know if a NIP drops thru the letterbox in the next couple of weeks!
scoobymadburd Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Oobster hope you smiled for the camera, supposidly a speed camera can not take you from the front as its an invasion of your privacy so they cant do u for it!!! Hooray Claire
oobster Posted April 5, 2005 Author Posted April 5, 2005 maybe i like being "taken from the front" claire
SEEVERS Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 I heard you prefer to be" taken from behind" Oobster......lol Del.
