Speeding - Identify the Driver
Re: Speeding - Identify the Driver
@Tut , sorry for the ambiguity. I was convinced it at the time it was a ticket due to the speedo and the "if you see it, it sees you rule" which may explain my account of the event above. Seems I had nothing to worry about. Either way it was a wake up call. Thanks for your support here. Scott.

Re: Speeding - Identify the Driver
Thought I'd been nabbed last month southbound on the A90 between Dundee & Perth - I'm generally very careful, but frustration got the better of me after following a slow moving lorry for 7-8 miles, and when he finally decided to move back into lane one I dropped a gear and gunned it past, only to spot the scamera van in this lay-by - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/56% ... d-3.373376scott_e wrote:Darn scamera vans - 80 in 70 to Perth from Dundee. That's 3 pts and 100 bucks generally aint it ?
Got heads up from the other side of the road too but didn't twig.
Hit the brakes hard, but reckoned they'd got me - Cue a nervous wait for a few weeks, but it's over 5 weeks now and nothing, so I think I'm safe

Going to use the Waze app more often - I believe it's pretty effective at highlighting scam van locations....sorry "accident black spots"

As above Ross, as it is all computerised with no [human intervention] you would receive it within four days.

Since they constantly push the safety angle on speeding, surely taking more than a reasonable few days to contact / fine someone is some sort of negligence..

Re: Speeding - Identify the Driver
That was exactly the location. I find it hard to identify the spot prior to coming over the hill by which time your are in sight of the van. Will have a look at Waze too. ThanksFluoxetine wrote:https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/56% ... d-3.373376
