I was late for work, I needed to go that fast
This country is turning into a police state

63 mph in a 30 zone !!!!!!!!!!!!! are you some kind of idiot, i hope you get a ban as you deserve one, at over 60 mph you could have killed someone, if a child had steped out in front of you there is no way you would have been able to stop. Speed cameras are there to stop people like you !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, please! YOU broke the law, and YOU endangered yourself and others by driving more than DOUBLE the legal speed limit ...

... and you are complaining about speed cameras and the "police state"?

How about a little personal responsibility? How about a little accountability for your actions?

Aw bless you. I agree a ban is in order here. But not for the speed camera, for you.

Would it have mattered being late for work if a small child had died as a result of your speed?

Poor you, victimised for a little teenyweeny little error of judgement. Why don't you develop a paranoid persecution complex that allows you to absolve yourself from putting peoples livs at risk? Oh, you have.

No, they should not be banned. Someone doing 63mph in a 30 mile zone, quite rightly deserves a penalty.Feeble excuses are unacceptable.

We wouldn't need them if people like you didn't break the law.Being late for work is your fault.Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance !

No, YOU should.

And will be... I hope.

Have a nice day and drive safely (while you still can)!

You deserved to be caught. They came up with those cameras just for people like you. You'll get a lot of negative answers my friend, and you deserve every one of them. Please think about what you do before you kill some little innocent kid and make life miserable for a lot of people. Think!


barbi316
No they shouldnt. That's crazy to be driving that fast in a 30 zone. You could have seriously hurt someone.


Michael H
No, you should be banned.

But you knew you were goign to get that answer, didn't you ?

If you'd have killed a couple of kids would it have still been alright because you were "late for work, I needed to go that fast"

This country is turning into a state where peope think the law is for everyone else bar them.

As you admited 2 days ago that your mother still wipes your **** i doubt you can drive yet.

I suppose you are going to say that the use of such camera's is an infringement on your constitutional rights. *lol* It's the Patriot Act at its worst!!!

No... camera's should not be banned. Perhaps next time you should leave earlier for work.

You better be careful... They may just jack the jail up and put you underneath it for going 63 in a 30mph zone.

Speeders should have one finger removed each time they are caught speeding as badly as you. Eventually they will have no fingers left and will be unable to speed anywhere. Very rarely does a bus get a speeding ticket.

have you seen the tv advert ,knock a child down at 30 mph they have 80% chance of surviving ,knock a child down at 40 mph they have no chance at all,hit a child at 63 mph ,would you like to have to pick up the pieces, would say you have no children of your own.

Whilst I do have issues with inappropriately-positioned speed cameras and consider that slavish adherence to speed limits regardless of prevailing road conditions can also be dangerous, you were, by your own admission, outside the law to a significant and dangerous degree.

Be thankful that you only been "done" for the speeding and nothing more serious, take your points/fine like a responsible adult and "think on", as they say.


FREDDIY
Why do you need to travel at that speed? It is not true that you would arrive at work any sooner. If you work out your speed over say 30 miles, the difference between 30 and 50 mph will only get you there two or three minutes sooner taking into account any traffic lights, roundabouts etc. So why risk your life and the lives of others just for a few minutes. There is no excuse for speeding.

Over double the limit?

You could be looking at a ban, I'm afraid

No need to go that fast - better a few minutes late in this world, than 50 years early in the next one....


gileshenry2004
You deserve a fine/ban for that kind of dumb driving. However, anyone who thinks cameras are there to increase road safety is very naive. They should be dispensed with.

It's all about revenue for the treasury and it's about time people realised that. Even the chairman of the road safety campaign says they do nothing to enhance road safety and may even make the problem worse!!

Is the country turning into a police state? That's a whole different question.

People like you make me laugh......talk about throwing your rattle out of the pram. You are a danger to the road....30mph is used in built up areas. If a child ran out into the road you would never stop in time. Don't you watch the adverts on TV?

You are a danger to yourself and everyone else around you. You certainly aint gonna have a driving license for much longer. Thank god!

Instead of making up excuses for your own illegal behavior, why don't you just drive safer and plan your day better?

no i dont want people like you flying down my road

so you did more than twice the speed limit because you were late for work, and you think the device used to catch you (and discourage you from breaking the law) should be banned? you don't think the solution there was to just get up earlier so you could leave for work on time?

wow. maybe being late for work is better than being fined, and maybe eventually banned from driving, ya think? you don't think maybe the speed limit was 30 instead of 63 for a reason? or did it say "30mph, unless you're late for work, then do whatever speed you like", and those pesky speed camera's should have known you were late for work, and accomodated you.

ah well, maybe if you just appeal it by telling them you were only doing twice the speed limit because you were late for work, so you needed to do it, then they'll just let you away with it, genius.


JACK BAUER
I think you will find a court appearance coming as this is the norm if you exceed double the speed limit.

Expect at least a £500 fine and minimum 6Pt's on your licence!

Slow Down!

Almost everybody hates speed cameras, and yes, this country is turning into a police state. But 63mph? In a 30mph zone? They'll throw the book at you and throw away the key. And not a single person on here will say you don't deserve it. That is just plain reckless - the limit is 30mph in built up areas for a very good reason. If you're trying to start a debate about the usefulness of speed cameras or the big brother state, citing your own case as an example is not too clever! You broke the law - you didn't bend it, or even stretch it a bit - you were doing double the legal speed limit and deserve what you get. I wouldn't expect any sympathy if I was caught like this, and neither should you. End of story.

THE ONLY PERSON THAT SHOULD BE BANNED IS YOU, MY HUSBANDS NAN WAS KILLED MY SOME IDIOT LIKE YOU DRIVING SO FAST. SHE HAD NO CHANCE AND SHE WAS ON A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AND IT WAS HER TIME TO CROSS, THE BLOKE DRIVING DIDNT HAVE TIME TO STOP.


ADILALMAN G
It's your fault you were late for work,could you have stopped if a child stepped out in front of you? I hope you get banned.


emma v
NO not at all......you should take note of the speed limit they are there for a reason!! MAybe you will slow down next time!!


A True Gentleman
The primary purpose of speed cameras is not to catch you speeding or make you slow down. No, it's primary purpose is to 'gently' but obviously remind the public that the Government is in control and is watching you constantly. It's part of a system to 'butter-up' the public into accepting further cameras and other intrusions into their lives. The British Government are a bunch of c*nts.

Why do people accept speed limits? Because they are sheep, the Government says something and they blindly obey, it means they don't have to think for themselves. Who says 30 is right? Why not 29 or 31?
