Todd_is_God Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 On average speed cameras, I used to travel a lot quite late at night through the ones on the M74 a good few years ago, and was convinced only two of the cameras were operational as they had an obvious infrared glow you could see in the dark. The two in question were the same two throughout the entire period of the works. How accurate that assumption was I have no idea, nor if it was, if it is still the case today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 A couple of c***s on the road this morning. The turn left filter was on green so the car in front of me and myself proceeded to do just that, only to nearly get clobbered by two cars coming down the street from the right. Either their lights weren't working (unlikely), or they took a chance as they changed. Last I saw the second vehicle was stuck as our right hand lane then got the green light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that's me raging now. 17 hours ago, Empty It said: I was caught going up the A9 on my way to Applecross late one night years ago, it dropped down to a 40 for roadworks and I never noticed, had cruise control on 60 the whole way through like a fanny. Ticket waiting for me on arrival home. Still never met anyone who's been caught, but you're now the first person I know of that's been caught, congrats good sir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was caught on the A17 averaging 60mph in a 60 limit. I was in my van which the speed limit is 50mph on a single carriageway. It never even occurred to me I'd be caught. Thought I was being clever, etc................right up until the letter arrived Your registration is all they need to know what class the vehicle is. A Gatso type camera will only take a photo based on speed yes, however the average cameras favoured these days seem to be 'smarter' I suspect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Need a c***s in the jury thread as well, stoner of 30 years turns across ICU nurse cyclist on his way to work but apparently that's just careless. Just get your defence KC to say that you didn't see the cyclist and your jury of driver peers can get you off the dangerous charge. https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburgh-driver-stoned-cannabis-caused-27681871 Edited September 8, 2023 by Ginaro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh how many folk would expect a van to make a turn and then start reversing the driver shouldn't have a license as they clearly can't do the basics right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vine stopped in the blind spot of the van to get better video footage of it being in the wrong, and nearly found out. The driver made a mistake, realised right away and started to correct it. Utter madness to stop behind a van like that in any situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like a cyclist braking to avoid a van turning across him, then starting off presuming the van will be going forward and not reversing! I have no idea how this is the cyclists fault and it's concerning that it could be interpreted as such. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cyclist could have avoided the van in the first place and then could have moved aside when he saw and heard the van reversing but decided not to and instead made a bad situation worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He enters and tries to drive down the right hand lane of a road, it's a fundamental mistake and that's after not giving way to oncoming traffic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
