Round ere they take it further if yer keep gerrin caught.Wayy Hayy!
My email to the Community Speed Watch peeps resulted in them removing me from their database!
And a very friendly response. goodwill gesture and all that. I think they realised I was an unfortunate!
And no, all that would happen to peeps who consistently speeded would be a uniformed plod coming round to have a quiet word.
Who's brian?
Edit: worked it oot now.
Tis the little fings in life...
Stat's show significant chance of predestrians surviving at 20 as opposed to 30. Assume it would be that. I do 20 past schools where they have flashing yellow fings pointing oot 30 becomes 20 during school times. Peeps behind dun't like that.I think it was no coincidence merely an excuse.
I understand he who introduced this is convinced he has got it right 'cos he listened to the few' and he doesn't even drive!!!
Actooly, I turned out of a 30 onto a 30 then entered a zone that used to be a 40 but now continues as a 30.Sounds like community speed watch. There's a number of initiatives. Police are involved. They let them use a camera in an agreed location at certain times. Often there will be an officer with them. Its all part of the active community policing fing. Yer wasting yer time having a pop at them. It could get yer into trouble. The normal outcome is a warning oft the police for driving ootside of the law. It comes from them because they have the power to use/access yer cars details to notify the registered keeper. Keep gerrin caught on the same o'fence or mixture of o'fences and the police can send yer a NIP notice of intended prosecution for an o'fence.
From what yer ses yer turned onto a road and drove along it. Said road was 40 but when you entered it and drove along it there were no 40 signs. If lamp posts are present and its residentual then it defaults to 30, regardless of what it is if yer had driven its whole length. If no sign indication saying more than 30 then they gottid yer and theres nowt yer can do about it. Eye would suspect many would get caught oot in a simular situation. Yer bin warned and ain't gorra NIP so just accept it as a warning and move on.
They let yer oft wiv a warning. Old duffer in a rusty disco...
I think they make a list of times, date, place, reg number and possibly speed driven through and send it to Dorset Police who have the authority to find out your name and address and then send you a letter. With Data protection I doubt any beggar in the group has access to all that. In my case it did seem to be just one person fielding enquiries as she answered my email (her contact details were on the DP letter) and she decided to wipe me off the database. So I still have a clean sheet with them.Pretty sure it's on the guidelines they can't change a limit over a short distance. Is it a real limit change or have they made it up?
You have to be trained to use a calibrated speed gun. Limit signs went up near me before the limit was legally changed!! Yet the police were enforcing it. How do they have access to dlva database!?
Totally agree!As residents of our 12 properties hamlet we requested about 4/5 years ago that a 30 limit be put on our stretch of the narrow country road as it was now being used as a short cut between one A road and another and part of our road was the only straight stretch for the full six mile length. They agreed and we waited and waited and waited but nothing came .................. until suddenly, about a month ago, it turned into a 20 limit! Then I discovered, by 'accident', that they had changed the road classification from unclassified to a 'C' classified one with absolutely no notification whatsoever. Has this made the road safer? - absolutely not. For some reason drivers seem to be reading 20 as 200!!!!!! If the cops are looking for a good way of raising funds for their Christmas Celebratory Bash then get a gun on this road!
I would estimate that only one out of every 500 hundred vehicles ( over about 7 days) is reducing the speed to anything like 20/25 mph. and most are doing in excess of 40 with some doing in excess of 60/70. I assume that this is the way drivers are 'making up time' between the 'A' roads which were made into 50 limits a few years ago.
A 20 limit is NOT a good idea, especially if it is not being monitored, but a 30 just might be more successful as most drivers would see it as a more suitable speed for the type of road. One can but hope!
Which Brian?Any news from Brian this morning?
You mean MOL?Any news from Brian this morning?
DOM!!!!!!!The more beaver I have the better.
I've heard that they control it betterer though. But I might have heard it wrong.Fink they raise water levels not drop them.
El President Brian, The Top Dog Brian, @My Old Landy BrianWhich Brian?
EyeYou mean MOL?
Did I tell you my uni had an exchange thing with a Merkin uni, Georgetown or summat? They called it "the beaver exchange" and there was a lot of wimmins on it! At the time us Brits didn't use the word "beaver" in that context so much, but the Merkins did!The more beaver I have the better.
I did ask the updates on home WiFi.. data usage on apps looks normal, so it will be system/Google using mobile data that is hidden from viewIs that because yer been updating it? Yer should be able to look in the data usage to see usage per app. Well yer can on androids.
But, but, but..... there's no such thing as a good Freelander, all their doors keep falling off.Yer can gerra good freelander fer that money.
Google translate will be busyRight, enuff of this pleasant banter, must get back onto EDF France and give them yet another telling off for their inability to send me bills here, despite me telling them over and over again where to send them.
