Stating the law is the law is naïve. The government manipulate control and use the populous by imposing laws. Speed matters ! :drink:
You can't say that after a hard week at work you should be allowed to break the law, just a crazy comment. Laws are there for a reason, whether you agree with them or not. If you don't abide by them, don't byatch about being caught.
I'm not saying I never break any law, but I can't grumble if I get caught when doing it. And I certainly don't think that I should be allowed to break the law cause I've had a hard week at work, that was a crazy comment.

Hello chunk. I can say what the fcuk I like. That is not the point. The reason for hard week at work comment is that these are innocent people with no mallice. I have witnessed Police saying lets go and patrol for crime and the other saying no that's a pain lets go set up a speed trap. So the point being, go and do something more productive Plod.

I never grumble at being prosecuted for speeding just angry with myself for gettig caught, but as you can see in this tread there is no set fining scale. The whole process is inefficient and takes far too long. It is open to opinion. As I know, I have been banned, been to court many times, fined ridiculous amounts and treatened with jail. And for what not harmimg anyone. The Chicken Licken view does not wash here.

Er did I say you can't say what you want??? Nah, didn't think so. Remember, get angry, you lose!!!

Your link doesn't work either.

Your ''go do something more productive plod'' comment. You ever had anyone in your family killed through dangerous driving?? If you have/ had then you'll appreciate the Police patrolling our road network looking for idiots who speed/drive like tools. While the police are doing their speed checks they're also watching how folks drive, whether they've had a hard week at work or not.

This comment here - ''The reason for hard week at work comment is that these are innocent people with no mallice''. Amazing comment.

You know when you witnessed Police saying - '' lets go and patrol for crime and the other saying no that's a pain lets go set up a speed trap'', what did you say to the officers?

Edit - actually, if you've been lucky enough to NOT have anyone in your family killed by dangerous driving, you should appreciate the police doing the speed checks.
