Me thought I was doing 30 in a 30 zone looked up as I spotted the camera nestling in the windscreen in the van on the opposite side of the rd on grass verge, to see I was doing 34, been kicking myself black and blue since! :blah:

Your speedo will almost certainly be over-reading, so chances are you weren't actually speeding or fall within the range they aren't going to bother with. In the unlikely event you did get caught then they'll likely offer you the option to attend a course instead of points.

Actual speed limits are in knots.

Buy a black Audi 4x4. They seem immune to all laws and regulations relating to public roads.

And you can make a bit on the side, selling drugs.

Black 4x4 passed me as I was standing at a red light on Adsa roundabout nearly colliding with a Jag. Swerved and stopped obviously shaken! in the middle of the road ! Probably mistook the Crossing green for their light Numpty!

Not Stafford, but near enough - the M6 heading towards Birmingham the other week

Came up behind a lorry in lane 1, with another car in lane 2 only just running at the same speed (about 60) alongside it (there were no other vehicles ahead in Lane 2) - so I headed for the clear lane 3 to go past them both, and didn't give it much thought - until the car suddenly swerved from lane 2 into lane 3 and back again as I was literally coming alongside it

Got hard on the brakes and narrowly avoided clipping it - once I'd got myself sorted out, had started breathing again and had got back up to speed I went past as quickly as I could. Looked sideways to see the young lady driving the car doing her makeup in the visor mirror.... at 60mph...in the middle lane of the M6....

I began to slow for the traffic lights on Queensway roundabout this morning as they were changing to red. Typically for Stafford, the car in front of me made no attempt to slow and just carried on through the lights even though he/she had plenty of warning and time to stop.
I had to smile as they carried on toward Kingsway, as the Police car that was waiting by the lights at North Walls was on the case and went after them.

Just had some moron in some old banger with black smoke pouring out of it pull out of Marston Grange with me going 50 and really not far away. So had to break sharply there.

And then his friend's waiting at the next road in (this is coming from Stone Road) and apparently forgot other people use the roads so ended up behind me. Then proceeds to overtake me after the set of lights on a blind corner and speed off at 60+

Yay, boy racers, didn't see them again, they sped off after the Sandon lights and overtook three cars. Clever.

This is the guards this morning, on the R157 in an unmarked car, after complaints of regular dodgy overtaking manoeuvres.

A bit of enforcement helps.

I could possibly pull the footage from my dashcam to at least let the coppers know to keep an eye on them. I know they can't prosecute on third party footage at least (which is a shame, I'd love a bounty system)

Driving home the back way from Yarnfield this evening, there was a white Mercedes (a big one) in front of me. Reg No. AT 51 CAZ. The driver was so far up the arse of the car in front,he/she/ it could see the flies hitting the front number plate. If the driver of the car he/she/it was following had to bung their brakes on quick, there would've been 1 hell of a smash. They kept getting right up close, then had put the brakes on. Bloody stupid, personally, I would've slowed down so it really got on their tits.

Spouting nonsense since the day I learned to talk
To the lady who turned out of Wilford House this morning. If I have to stamp on my brakes to stop myself from hitting you, it means there wasn't a big enough space for you to get out.

From her point of view though, because that's all that matters to someone like her, there clearly was plenty of space because you didn't hit her.

ST07 PRX! South Street is not a rat run and if you were a few seconds later you could have had a major insurance process plus a criminal record! The one way sign is there for a reason.
