i got stopped on the the way home from the rolling road a couple of weeks back, i was doing about 1@@ and the followed and clocked me by calculating the distance by the time i took to go under 1 bridge shadow to another! can they do that? and im sure its not a calibrated method!

They can do anything they like - did you get cautioned? If you did this is classed as the NIP, so don't think you haven't been done after 28 days, they have 6 months to take you to court!

Leon ,

yes they can do that, they have a camera in the car which they will have on at all times when following a speeder, as they go under a bridge they use the shadow as a marker and then use the next bridge as another marker point. They have a computer which will then calculate your average speed and it takes into a margin error of what I think was 3% of your speed or something like that !!!!!

In other words yes they can use that method and it is accepted in court as long as they have the film evidence !!!!!

i got a producer and went to the police station to hand my license in but they didnt take my license in they just returned my documents and thats it!

[tony_cousins]

They would have checked all the details in the cop shop

Name of owner

insurance

MOT

your licence

this is to comfirm you own your car and it it insured and taxed and mot'd !!!!!!

this is just for a projucer, they should have given you a signed copy of a slip which basically means you have done it as they wanted.

You will most likely get a court summons by way of post or if you are a lucky bugger you may just get a fixed penalty of six points !!!! and a fine

A little tip for you guys and it works belive me ..i got caught doing wel over 130mph on my r1 a few years ago......ask the copper to see the calibration cert ...all police cars before leaving for a shift have to have the equipment calibrated. Alot of the time they dont bother! It is your right to see it!!!!!! but you must ask then and there you cant ask for it after you have been issued with the ticket. Also i know how to dodge gatso fines too. That works to.

[tony_cousins]

Lol now that was a good dodge but they have changed the way the system works........

Before they had to produce this cert before it went to court which ment you could if it had not been calibrated get away with it

But now you have to sign the declaration ie Guilty or Innocent , and they will only show the certificate in the court..... this basically means you will be in big Poo Poo if you tell a porky and say you were innocent when you were in fact going 130 mph

So the motto is " Dont get caught !!!!!!"

Tell them bollox and refuse to sign to say if your guilty or innocent. They can't force you, despite the governments best efforts this is still a free country and they can't make you sign f*ck all......................................yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
