Well, I didn't realise that cyclists get fixed penalty notices. Just read few posts on the subject on various websites and I am really worried. I will be careful tomorrow but honestly I don't jump red lights.
One of favourite leisure routes has 30 mile speed camera. One of my goal of riding is to trigger this camera. Last week, I came very close, 28 miles per hour. Perhaps I should give up my goal. On the other hand, how are they going to find me?

There is only one option for the op now since he is in so deep. Escape the country and flee to a place with no extradition.

Want to know about FPN Technicalities? Try Pepipoo. Just pretend you were in a car otherwise they'll call you names.

That's the place for wriggling out of obvious infringements due to the font size of a full stop.

I apparently "deserve" being driven into, beeped at and generally abused because of you and your ilk OP, so frankly if you want help on this one you can just sod off, get off your bike and buy a 1.2 corsa, stick a colour coded drainpipe down the sills, a fake twin exhaust and cover it with "Monster" stickers. Turn it into the twatmobile that suits you and stop pretending to be a cyclist.

I will not sit here in front of my PC screen and let you insult the great corsa.


That is all...........

If it has Burberry seat covers and a drainpipe stuck to the sills as a DIY bodykit then I'll insult it and call you Barry..

..but there ARE worse

Saxos is where it's at now for young male drivers ;)
I nearly said Nova earlier but that would really have shown my age...

When I was 17 my hot hatch was...

This beige 903cc Yugo 45A
I think the boat was slightly faster and cornered better! :biggrin:

Carry on (with a 'don't sue me' proviso of 'if conditions are safe to do so'! ) Speed limits don't apply to cycles as they only apply to motor vehicles. If appropriate, there are offences of careless cycling, but a photo from a speed camera wouldn't be enough for that.

There's a camera by me that I've tried and tried to set off, but not managed to yet!

If you did, how would you explain it at work?
