Was you speeding? Yes?
Did you get caught? Yes....
Were they doing their job? Yes
Are you just on a moan because you were caught? Yes.
Should you stop moaning, and accept you were not silly to speed, but silly enough to speed and get caught? Yes...
All been there, pay up, pay more attention next time, or be a bit more carefull with the throttle. Lots of us have been there

I have nothing against you or anyone else that speeds but when they try and get them selfs out of it with excuses such as "they were hiding" then it gets a bit silly. Good luck with it though
I can see what you're trying to say here.. but surely the idea is to stop people from speeding? If what you're saying is correct, that the police should not be visible, and that hiding behind a wall is a good thing... then there's no deterent.
OK, so when the driver recieves the points & fine, yeah that might deter them from doing it AGAIN, but not from doing it in the 1st place.

if your dad works for the police then why did you ask on here
Also you should expect to hear peoples opinions if you post on a forum

I dont think they were being harsh. Just imagine if somebody you knew was killed by somebody speeding you would have the same opinion
The fact that you have been caught speeding means that you have learned your lesson and that in itself should be enough for a first time pull over. ( just my opinion ).
Obviously if you were doing silly speeds in a low speed zone then you deserve losing your license.

you shouldn't really ask how to get out of a speeding ticket on a popular forum then if you didn't want people to call you things...
at the end of the day, you sped, you got caught, you face the consequences. i'm quite glad you got caught as it will make you think next time you decide to creep over the speed limit.
i got caught, got let off with a warning, and since then i have never been stupid enough to speed like a madman.

and if your dad does work for the police but if his a pensusher then it dont exactly count! and as long as there signs about warnign you of speed cameras then they don't have to be visble its your own fault tossbag

thought you could only get caught doing 10% + 1 or 2mph over the limit?
so you would have to be doing 34-35mph to get officially caught speeding and fined/points given?
please correct me if im wrong.

Awwwwww does daddy not want his little boy running up 3 points.. Probably means daddy has to pay more on your insurance..
Be a man, accept you were caught speeding (which is illegal by the way, if you didn't know.... ) and take the points. Or go running to daddy and get him to sort it because he's ovbiously a big man in the police and enjoys anally shafting young PC's who catch his son driving illegally.
The police DON'T need to be visable if there are speed camera signs. They have been hiding since mobile cameras came out, is it there fault for catching you, or your fault for speeding? It is the latter.
PS, was does olrite mean? Is that the new abbreviation for "it'll be alright on the night, part 16,092?"

Mate. your logic suggests the following:
Speed limit: 30
No police around = ok to speed
Police around = slow down.
So you'd only drive to the limit if you seen police in any circumstance? That what you're telling the forum?
Everyone does speed, but if you were speeding you should hold your hands up, rather than making excuses. Easier for everyone involved - whether they were visible or not - I wouldnt complain.

actually, i thought it was a 40, all the other roads in the town like that are, except that 1 apparently, so i sat at 40, i dont speed in towns, especially in built up areas, i was ran over by sum1 when i was younger and royally fucked my knees, so i wouldnt want to do that 2 some one else, and there wasnt any speed camera signs.
