Cardiff catastrophe!

[Mad Cyril]

Got mine in the post last Friday.....

63 mph in a 50mph limit.

Anyone else?

 

[Usual_Suspect]

3 points and a fine?

Have to send back a form and then the Welsh Police will decide my punishment.

Should be a fixed penalty and 3 points.

They may however decide to prosecute.

Out of interest, does anyone know if the Welsh police have blanket speed camera coverage on the roads OUT of Wales or do they just wheel out the vans when English fans are visiting Cardiff.

 

[General Easterly]

Here in North Wales they just have a blanket anti-driver policy.

Our esteemed Chief Constable slaps a ticket on anything travelling more than 1mph above the speed limit.

All of you lot in Southend were particuarly lucky as just one day later they turned the fixed Gatso's on the M4 in Wiltshire on. That said, South Wales Police (Heddlu De Cymru) do seem to have a policy of rolling the cameras out everytime there's an event on at Cardiff. Travelling down the motorway the same way as the Wrexham fans, they put a van on M'way just after where the majority of the Wrexham fans were coming in, just to make sure they got as many as possible.

Remember, in North Wales, the argument isn't to Arrive Alive, more to Arrive Deprived.

Every time I visit Wales in the future I will be looking for repairations.

I remember this from this morning and SHAT MY PANTS just now when TWO envelopes arrived with Trafficmaster written all over them. Unbelievably I have never had a speeding ticket in 20 years of motoring.

Opened the envelopes just now to find out it was from RAC Trackstar with my Tracker certificates for the Insurance Company. Shame they've got the registration number wrong on the Tracker they have fitted.

As some of our educated friends on here would say.

'FEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW'

 

[Mad Cyril]

You will know if you get one because it will have:

Safety camera Unit
Uned Diogelwch Camera

Visible in the window of the envelope.

Am somewhat worried as have just picked up my 7th, 8th and 9th points via doing 60 in a 50 in Kent in February.  If anything comes through from South Wales then bye bye license!

When do the first 3 points wear off and is that why you drive like a pussy ?

Maybe the Welsh Police operate the same way as the Welsh FA when they reviewed Lee Trundle's red card.

They may then consider that seeing your team lose was enough punishment and let you off, despite the fact that you are bang to rights. I would suggest using this analogy when you return the form.

My driving has become somewhat conservative of late! The first three points are only 18 months old so I have a while yet. 73 in a 40, at least that was actually worth the points!

 

[Leeboy]

Kev, your old banger wouldn't get done for speeding even if you were going downhill with the wind behind you

never had a single point on my license EVER..........






although 11 years ago I went the whole hog and did all 12 in one go

Nah, they'd be sending their radar back to the manufacturers.

 

[Mad Cyril]

So am I the only Southend fan to get a speeding ticket on the way to Cardiff?

This is the worst sort of discrimination - discrimination against me.

If anyone from the club is reading this how about a minutes silence before the Yeovil game to highlight my plight and a collection at the turnstiles to pay my fine?
