Sorry to hear that, ye like 80 mph is dangerous on a motorway.. what a bunch of f**king loosers this goverment is.. Isnt there something you can do about front facing cameras .. cause they are taking a picture of your face im sure I heard you can take it to the European court of human rights.

It was in Wales. Anyone heard the story about Wales Police doing a load of Rally spectators for speeding? They got me aswell. It was a van parked in a layby at the side of a dual carriageway.
Worst thing is they got me twice, 45 mins apart so another photo should arrive in the post tomorrow.
luk at ur speedo mate

was it one of these ? except not vandalised ?
*edited* cause I just read you said vans..
Griff mate, the Welsh police are well known for being harsh on speeding motorists.
I was lucky when I went to the Rally last year. I drove the last leg of the journey there and one of my mates drove back
and as he wasnt familiar with the car he took it really easy.I did however get done exactly the same way as you last September. They were in a camera van on a bridge over the motorway heading out of Wales. I was rushing back to pick some c*w up from the airport, but there was to torrential rain so I was taking it easy
at 86mph!!! Okay I know, not clever, but the roads were completely empty so only myself to take out!! A few days later I got an email off my mate who Id been visiting with a press cutting about all these anti speeding vans in the area and where they were!! Useless b*****d, he could have told me before I left.
Anyway, enough ramblings, shame you got caught out too mate.

Cheers Lee could just do without giving them £120. Typical first time to south wales in the car and I get done twice.
The Daily Mail has been running features on Wales Police and their anti speeding (ahem money making) campaign saying how much money they made and how other crimes such as burglary has gone through the roof.
wot these cameras luk like that take pics from front?
easily spotable?

Mate, you should come to SA.
getting cought doing 81 and being caught would get you a whopping 9 quid fine, zero points off your licence, zero added onto your insurance, and chances are theyd lose the fine in the system and youd never have to pay.
Hell, the average speed travelled on the motor way here is 86mph

Griff, fight your case. They cannot do you once outside that 14 day period. That is the law, and theres feck all they can do. Try looking at http://www.pepipoo.comwww.pepipoo.com for some draft letters also.
Then ask them also to provide proof that the equipment was re-calibrated once theyd finished their tour of duty. They have to do this for all mobile units, including those distance/time devices in the plod cars, in order to confirm the accuracy.
this site http://www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk/http://www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk/ also has all this in the ACPO guidelines.
But at the end of the day, it shouldnt get to the solicitor stage due to the 14 day window.
What speed did you clock show out of interest?
RS4
Bad luck mate.
On the plus side what a cool trophy!!! Be sure to frame and mount it eh!!
Id say the car on the other side must have triggered it off by accident and yes http://www.pepipoowww.pepipoo is very good - you got done in May and they have 14 days to inform you in the first instance that they are gonna have you.
Also I would challenge it and say you want the stuff callibrated and to see the original picture etc.
Cheers

Good question GR. About 2 weeks ago I had a letter saying I hadnt returned the NIPs they had sent me previosly. This came as something of a suprise as I hadnt received anything at all. I called them and they said "well send you 2 duplicates" but when they arrived they were dated 25th July and made no mention of being duplicates at all.
I wrote to the police saying they were 2 months out of date and they just said "we posted the original within the 2 week time period", i asked can you prove that and they said "we dont have to prove anything to you!" Charming!!
Theyve started saving early for their Christmas banquet eh! Gonna be a big un!
