poo got caught by speed camera! 3 points and a £60 fine! only weird thing is though, it was a camera that is on the other side of the road, therefore shouldn't have picked on me, there are no road makings, and there were two cars infront of me doin the same speed and one right up me arse of course doin the same speed.
Now the way i beleive it to be, may be sooo wrong though, is that if there are no road markings then you can't get a ticket, also it's on the aproach to a round about and i know there was no way in hell i was doing 59 mph (im mad, not crazy!) also it was a dothering old bloke infront of, and i was getting really peeved off at how slow he was going. although this all sounds like excusses, i think it caught someone on the other side of the road but i was in the pictue too. i don't mind points and a fine if i do the crime, but when i know i was doing 30 in a 40 it's a whole different storey.
does anyone else know anything about the rules, and if i have a leg to stand on because there were no road markings?
Also to really stick the nail in the coffin we have car problems. my husband is realloy into doin up cars, we have the new shape zetec fiesta, done up to the eye balls. we just paid a grand and did a round trip to wakefield (leeds) from gillingham in kent, to have a front and rear brake conversion. so we've got performance disks and callipers. look really smart, but expensive. we could hear a clicking noise, we phoned the bloke who fitted them and he said we did tell you about the noise but it went away. this is untrue he said nothing. my husband is a member of the ukfiestanetwork, and posted a topic about how annoyed he was (specially as we were told it was £750 all in) and the bloke came back at him guns blazing, saying what the different problems could be, and that he would send out a new rear set, as what did he expect the rear ones are used parts! we were never told at £1000 we were buying used parts! we were buying new as far as we knew! simon has just taken them to a garage his uncle owns, and apparently they are all used, and the two rear brake disks are buckled, and were lucky we haven't had an accident.
this man makes my blood boil! I don't mind my husband spending money on his car (because he shows it) but i refuse to let someone con him and nearly kill him! he also told us when we booked that it would take 1 hour, it took 4. when he phoned us to pick up the car (coz we had taken our son, we took him to this lake place, it was the someting damn), we arrieved 15 mins after he phoned, the car was parked up, it had rained an hour before, all the ground was wet, apat from the area under the car, so he clearly conned us out of more money, by finishing a lot earlier than he said and we paid for!
Oh it makes me SO MAD sorry to go on and on and on, but really had to vent! If anyone else is into, or their other half is into cars, and has a ford, and might upgrade the brakes, pm me and i will tell you who this person is so you can avoid him. obv, i'm not going to give him a public slating! Although i should!!!!! He nearly killed my baby!
