| Tyres were borderline - wrong side of the line though. Probably half a mm illegal. It was wet yesterday. It's been raining every afternoon this week in the south west. Not making pretty reading with the possible 9 points though. I think I might just go back to my original idea - get a good solicito... |

| You will not be able to get a definitive answer as there are too many variables and the sentence will depend on what evidence is given in court. A few of the variables. There is a general rule in court that, where more than one offence is sentenced on the same occasion, points are awarded on the mo... |

| This is on PH too, isn't it? I hate to say it, but this is why Safespeed advocate increased trafpol presence. Talking on the phone for a mile, while driving on two bald tyres? This is the kind of motorist I'd rather not share the road with. I never said he's a good driver, and normally I would agre... |

| Oh dear! This doesn't look good. As the police seem to have reasonable evidence as to the offences then a plea of hardship to mitigate the eventual sentence may be the only option. On the subject of Contracts of Employment, if this contains an explicit term which makes possession of a valid driving... |

| I work as a recruitment consultant to the construction industry and there is one thing you have to have to be able to do the job, and that's your driving licence. My colleague came back into the office in an absolute state yesterday, he had been stopped by the police for using his hand-held mobile -... |

| If that is the blue one, then it is ANPR. Incidentally, Devon and Cornwall Police are being a bit naughty at the moment! I am pretty certain that laser detectors (LT20-20 etc) are only allowed to be used when it is not raining. I was driving home the other day in a 30mph limit, in both fog and that ... |

That's the last time I tally up all the cameras in an area mentally...completely forgot about St Blazey. It's got a fair few camera boxes. Doh!
Probably 15 gatso boxes in total, the number of cameras however, that's a different matter. |

| Hmm...sucking this one out my thumb, but is that waiting time cleverly designed, to ensure the pedestrian gives up and crosses the road before the light changes and then the light changes after they've gone, so drivers then have to wait for...nothing; hence endangering the pedestrian and at the same... |

| Thanks for the welcome Big Tone! :bounce1: Cornwall has only got 10 fixed Gatso boxes, mostly empty, five of them in Landrake, (a tiny village) and 1 SPECS system. Mobile camera sites seem to be either on the A38 between Plymouth (their depot is in Plymouth) and Liskeard or in two other spots where ... |

| We were able to find a small part of Cornwall, about 15 miles square which had escaped the attentions of the speed control industry and we were able to drive normally for a while. It was so refreshing to enjoy that nostalgic experience after all the robotic driving that is imposed upon us along the... |
