Has anyone else been caught out with the 20 mph camera? I must admit I was probably exceeding 20 mph, but not by much. I feel bad that in 25 years of driving in London I have never seen any signs , I wondered if anyone has successfully been let off? 3 points for doing 25 mph seems steep .

Any assistance welcome.

Thanks

Presume you were actually done on Tower Bridge (that's the only bit of TBR that I understand is a 20pmh zone). I think there are average speed cameras on the bridge and there is a fairly prominent 20mph sign on the approach. Sorry, but I think you chances of success at an appeal are practically nil.


I think you were unlucky. The traffic is usually too bad to go over 20mph.


If you just have 3 points it shouldn't really have an impact on your insurance etc.

Tower Bridge has been 20 MPH since at least the 70's


A work colleague of mine back then was stopped by Police on his Scooter which had many mirrors


When asked by police why did he think he had been stopped?


He said dont know.


Speeding said the copper.


No said my colleage. I saw you in my mirrors, I made sure I kept my speed just under 30 MPH


Your nicked said the copper. It's a 20 MPH over the Bridge


The 20 MPH signs are very clear.

I know BUT it does make you think.


It makes you realise how flabby your driving had become.


( no 3 points either )

    • He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days. Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.
    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day.
