No sympathy from me.
He knows the limit for that bit of road (or certainly should being a professional driver). Being clocked 14 times disregarding that speed limit illustrates a blatant disregard for our societies prevailing laws IMHO.
Just because he hasn't been caught prior to the new Scammera installation is no valid mitigation, in my eyes quite the opposite.
Only a £355 fine too.! That's only £25 per offence, fwiw I'd be calling that a win if it were me..

Re: Caught 14 times by the same camera in 2 months
Very well said D. I agree with you. The guy that's been caught has persistently broke the speed limit which does show he must break speed limits all over the place....and let's face it when was the last time anyone went into a taxi that stuck to speed limits!! Maybe he has pushed too many times!D41 wrote:Ross
....those are excellent points BUT....it's really no more difficult to maintain a slower speed than a higher one. And it's not like it was his first time driving that road.
Don't forget also that a maximum speed is just that...it's not a minimum, and it applies to all road users, day or night, and in any sort if weather.

It is better to arrive 30 seconds late in this world than 30 years early in the next

But you can open a window for a fart. I wouldn't like to try it for anything more solid.
