Alert Mongoose Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 8 minutes ago, Fullerene said: 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. 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...

Aye, but the average speed ones pick up the front of the vehicles, as they face back up the carriageway that they're monitoring. I think.

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...

Aidan Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Does anyone else find themselves eating absolute shite when they're working a Nightshift? I've tried to just flip my meal times by 12 hours but I still end up digging into multiple bags of crisps and Haribo which I wouldn't normally do through the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason when your body clock gets fucked up you crave the bad stuff. Bit like hangover eating. I tried everything, like eating big healthy dinners before going to work. All that happens is a colleague says "f**k it, I'm going for a kebab/big mac, what ye wantin?"and that's it. Or, you abstain and hoover up the fridge when you get home.
