Snap! What's a V62? Mine was a private seller as you know..
When we sold our Roland Garros 806 on, we recieved a letter from the old bill saying it had been caught speeding (well at least we know there was life after death for it - again), we had to provide evidence the car was sold some months earlier and the fine wasn't ours - never heard anything else.
Interestingly, this car doesn't show up on the DVLA vehicle enquiry... I wonder why that is?
Alberto, I hope you are okay....

ithink you don't have to pay the 25 dabs if you've got the green keeper section,
You do not have to pay a fee in the following circumstances.
• If you are the new keeper and the previous keeper failed to tell us
about the change, you must have the New keeper’s details section
(V5C/2) from the V5C and send it to us with this application form.

To be fair I also thought it was true and I'd hope that you'd be looked upon favourably completing an overtake as quick as possible.

The fine and ban can go to Mr Rees then.

Stop being a tit mun! Obviously this urban myth only applies when you have to cross over the central line (i.e. on a single lane road). If you're speeding on the motorway you are clearly the spawn of Satan and as such you deserve to have your car crushed, house repossessed and testicles removed!scotty73 wrote:On Dai's advice i done a ton on the M4 in the right lane earlier, well i was overtaking right?

Old grey box? You sure it wasn't a Gatso?
Re: caught on speed camera,need advice :(
Don't mean to sound harsh Alberto, but you admitted you were doing 72mph in a 50mph zone.........why would you think you're immune from prosecution?

Re: caught on speed camera,need advice :(
it was about 80 mile away from edinburgh down the a1 road if it helps
anyway,on that road cameras on every single 5 miles,both sides....cant find proper image on google,but color was gray,i might be wrong because i dont know which one flashed me,even it had no yellow stickers which are high visible,just plane gray
another trick i found out today,somebody told me cameras cant read front(white) number plate,could be true or false?

Re: caught on speed camera,need advice :(
if it was grey, and no yellow face
it might be a Watchman. they monitor speed before you reach them,
cameras cant read front(white) number plate,could be true or false? false id think,
