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 )

    • That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.
    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
