What's that line about not being a speed demon but just a very naughty boy?

That’s a shitter mate, was it from the same spot as the last one?

Same road, further up. If they've been blitzing that road I could be looking at a third. Both offences at commute times (8am, 6pm)
You copped a couple in Lewisham and still got speed awareness?
It's one speed awareness course every 3yrs.
If you have been done 3 times? Unfortunately, the best you can hope for is one speed awareness course. Plus 6 points & a £200 fine.
Lets hear it for our wonderful Police service eh

In the unlikely event that you hadn't worked this out for yourself. My brush with the speed Nazi's was the catalyst for fitting two heads up displays...Only twice (within the space of a week) but I'm not holding my breath
No good for your bike. But I'd strongly suggest getting one for your car.

I copped three just outside East Grinstead - camera on a corner same one each time
I staggered sending the NIPs back and got speed awareness for the first one - points for the others though

I have never been a fan of Diplomatic immunity a system that allows the likes of Arab's to get away with blue murder in London or even an American wife of a dignitarie to be swiftly removed from killing a Biker, so here is another take on that last scenario with a much lower rank involved

US Air Force asserts jurisdiction in case of woman accused over biker's death
A motorcyclist was killed by careless driving following a crash in Norfolk last week.
Sounds like she could end up in hot water Don.I have never been a fan of Diplomatic immunity a system that allows the likes of Arab's to get away with blue murder in London or even an American wife of a dignitarie to be swiftly removed from killing a Biker, so here is another take on that last scenario with a much lower rank involved

I assume it'll turn out to be because she was driving on the right instead of the left

"Maybe" but my gripe is with what's good for one should be good for the other, that two tier system at play "stinks"Sounds like she could end up in hot water Don.

The big question is - Will she face potentially harsher sentencing if found guilty under US military law than under our own diabolically piss poor modern system? If the answer is 'yes' then let them have at it!

It's a long standing feature of the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). It's not exactly diplomatic immunity as clarifying jurisdiction for civil offences on foreign soil and the UK legislation giving it legal force. The US has long tended to claim its own when we let the Germans try Leslie Grantham for murdering a German taxi driver.
It probably has been helped by the Dunn case because of the particular nature of the US site and Mrs S' former employment.....

Most of these cases are tragic errors of judgement involving LHD cars on UK roads rather than overtly dangerous driving. US personnel tend not to live on the local economy in quite the manner of European forces on one another's turf.

Only problem is that they are 'tragic' and should amount to something approaching 'Manslaughter' (a tragic momentary lapse of reason leading to the death of another person) in terms of punishment as far as I'm concerned and I don't think being a non-national justifies not being held responsible for your actions. I knew a fellow who had a head on, on his Aprillia back in the early 00's, with a French Surgeon and his anaesthetist passenger down Dumfries way. Fair enough, after they killed him they brought him back and kept him alive until the emergency services got there and airlifted him to hospital. Just about every bone in his body broken and his face flattened despite a full face helmet. Major surgery, facial reconstruction and a lifetime of pain. He was doing under 60mph and they were on his side of the road. It may have been a 'tragic error of judgement' but the bastard fled back to France and pretty much got off with it.

Just been in touch with the Insurance today, apparently our car is still in storage and hasn't even progressed to a garage yet due to there being a lack of 'repair capacity' in the network. Christ what four or five weeks now with a shitty rental MG SUV thing that must be costing a fortune to the insurance company. It's a piece of crap! Flashy looking but the finish is piss poor and I don't like the way the electrickery works, especially the automatic 'handbrake' that let's go before the engine picks up which can be 'interesting' at times and doesn't automatically come on when the engine is switched off unlike the Renault ones so a few times I've killed the engine and gone to get out as I would usually do with the Renault and the bastard starts rolling backwards. They apparently don't even know when our car is likely to go in. I could have bought a used wheel for a hundred quid and been back on the road in a day or two mental!
