I don't have access to the website coding or file addresses, just wondering if there could something that breaks the rules in isolation It seems to happen with every link on the news page (same with any links to league documents and links on the fixtures page) so it's something to do with the website software (don't know what it is though). Presumably there's an error log in the backend, or can't the company linked at the bottom of each page sort it out?

Yeah, the website's got nothing to do with me and the guy who's running it is struggling to find a fix, but he's not a mate so I don't really know what the problem is. Just thought there might be an extra dot or dash in the line or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s reasonably well known that you would be unlikely to get done for 75 on a motorway but would the same be true for an average speed of 75mph? On a related note how do these cameras factor in roadworks? An average speed of 75 is more serious than an occasional speed of 75. Personally I don't know of anyone who has been caught by average cameras. I don't think they can factor in roadworks but if your average speed exceeds 70 over a section that includes roadworks then you are definitely going too fast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that, just wondered what the police view was. Was travelling back down the A9 yesterday and there seemed to be plenty of folk steaming by while I was sitting at a steady 60/70 on dual carriageway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if he's lying or not but either way he's never moaned about being ticketed. I thought average cameras don't work at all on bikes, as they don't have a front number plate? Or is that actually an urban myth? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 6 points on my license I'm not going to test it out though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 One about average speed cameras. It’s reasonably well known that you would be unlikely to get done for 75 on a motorway but would the same be true for an average speed of 75mph? On a related note how do these cameras factor in roadworks?You're allowed a leeway of 10% to account for differences in speedometer accuracy. A section of the A77 down to Monkton has a limit of 50mph covered by average speed cameras and I sit at 60mph every time. Never had a ticket and not heard of anyone getting one either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth it, if you want to make chips but much healthier than the disgusting chip pan of old. Uses barely any oil and they taste great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and it avoids the risk of Billy Connolly's 'Partick Roulette' (making chips when you're pished). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
