Adam Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Have just had a letter come through for doing 61 in a 50 zone and was caught by a mobile camera. The trouble is my speedo calabaration is way out so i thought i was doing 53. So i went down there to argue the point and they basiclly said i had to pay £60 fine and take the 3 points. But to take the piss even more the bloke that gave em to me owns a supra and didn`t give a dam about what i was saying. Felt like knocking him out.

Ian W Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 he maybe could have been sympathetic for your speedo not being calibrated (could you have proved it anyway?) but you can hardly expect him to let you off just cos he owns a Supra can you? am not siding with him btw, just that particular part of your argument didn't make sense to me.

Ark Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Question is, did you know your calibration was out beforehand? If so, you've not got a leg to stand on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I didn`t expect him to let me off cos he owns a supra. But i did say for him to take it out and i could prove it was way out. He wasnt interested in the slightest other than giving me 3 points. Never realised till now. Only had the car from november Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Brother Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Is it not illegal to have an under reading speedo anyway? Lucky you didn't take him out as you could have ended up with another offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Take this as a message to get your speedo sorted out! if your speedo is off by 8 mph you should get it sorted before you get some more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
