Speed cameras arent that bad, read this to find out why

A couple of Saturdays ago, I was driving home from the pub. I had had about 7 or 8 pints, and to be honest I found it hard to walk never mind drive, also the tax, insurance and mot had ran out on my car. I had 4 dodgy tyres, and generally the car was in an unroadworthy state.

As I was concentrating to keep the car in a straight line, I absent mindedly went above the 30 mph speed limit ad went up to 37 mph. I got flashed by a speed camera, and sure enough a couple of weeks later, I got a £60 fine and 3 points on my licence :frowning: .

Had I been pulled over by a real copper, I would surely have received much more than this, possibly even a ban :open_mouth:

Therefore I think 'I got off quite lightly and am all in favour of them :smiley:

I do hope you are not being serious and that your comments were a wind up :open_mouth:

I personally find this type of behaviour reprehensible and this sort of post gets us so called proffessional drivers a bad name. When I find myself in this kind of state I force my ten year old to drive me home. I find that he’s generally far too terrified to exceed the speed limit, and also I can relax in the passenger seat whilst roling my joint.

dam I wondered who keeps passing me at 6mph

The camera flash comes in handy too to remind you to switch on your lights.

If you are driving home again after drinking and there are 2 white lines, cover one eye with your hand and all is back to normal :stuck_out_tongue:

Gents,

I always reverse home from the pub it , not had a speeding ticket yet as it confuses the girls who check the film.

You dont know how lucky you are to be able to drink that amount Bugcos :smiley: spare a thought for those of us that have a zero tolerance to alcohol :frowning: I have a hereditary condition that causes severe migraine from the minutest amount of alcohol, I once tried half a pint of lager, the pain was excruciating and lasted 4 days, never ever would I go through that again.

Have you ever thought about getting an automatic car to take you from the pub to home, you can sit in the back, when you get the speeding ticket, just say you were asleep in the back :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I find if I am driving whilst arse holed it helps to ring someone on my mobile so they can keep me awake by talking to me.

Here’s a money saving tip for cheap wedding photos, get your stupidist mate to drive HIS car through a speed camera at ramming speed you and the new wife pose looking out of the rear window and hey presto, if he’s really dumb you can get him to go round again for a shot of you cutting the cake…

better idea.

You and the new wife stand close next to the speed camera (for safety reasons a camera that is guarded by a barrier), so when car goes by you get a perfect shot of you and the wife…doing all the wedding activities…

Stupid mate’s car goes round again repeating processes until you have all of your photos.

Just make sure you mate request a photographic proof for every single one of the 400 fines…job done.

You then go on your honeymoon while you mate realises he now has 1200 points on his licence and £24,000 in fines…(that would be a court job i believe? :laughing: ) :exclamation: :exclamation: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Ah, there’s a dual advantage here, it allows you to go the wrong way down one way streets.

I’ve done that before when delivering in Nottingham instead of going all the round when my drop was just ‘down’ the street.

O.k it was 6 am on a SAT/SUN morning and technically your not driving down the street.
