| Thank you once more for the replies.
I am just going to pay the fine.
I drove along exactly the same road today on my way to work - but paying much more attention to the speed this time. The traffic was actually more dense - (12:30 - lunchtime) and ALL the traffic was moving along at roughly 50mph, yes all along the 40 zone. What an easy hit it could be if the police wanted to.
I noted that I could easily of been doing 50mph at the point the officer said I was and I even parked up in the same place he was parked, and he did have a very good view up the road. The only doubts in my mind are the effect of the high wind and with him picking up the speed of the Audi driver - who I believe I am paying a fine for......he is a lucky chap.
There are some good hints and tips I've seen already on this and the other websites mentioned.....I wonder if its worth collating some of the relavent bike ones and posting the here (or is that incitement !!!) I like the sound of that.
Cheers - and keep one eye on the speedo eh!
Frank
