All that for 36 in a 30? Feel sorry for the bloke
Yet vehicles drive along Great Preston Road at 50+mph
No points and no fines
Lol
Obviously didn’t pay the fine when it came through the post nor felt like going to the speed awareness course. Thought he’d roll the dice with the magistrate and give some sob story his girlfriend was going into labour with his scratter or he was speeding up to get away from a tailgater, sadly for him his story was not believed and he got his just deserts.
“Just desserts”?????
Sahara, Gobi or both deserts?
Desserts usually melt in deserts!
Agreed, every day I’m overtaken some where on Island even when I’m slightly over, and boy racers at night that police turn blind eye – stretch from Coppins to Asda,or main road Ventnor,Apse Heath, Broadway to Shanklin, Cowes to Newport, Racecourse etcetc – so many doing double or more. With banging and noisy exhaust you can at least hear them coming
What a lovely bunch of Caulkheads NOT!
Do shut up – your getting boring
Chris you still on the pot
All useless garbage, like some of unwanted comments.
Jim boon should be in the bin
6mph over
I was following a police car a few days ago i was doing bang on 30 mph but to police care got at least 1/4 mile ahead of me . I bet the cop never pulled him self over and sent him self to court
At least a couple of them actually got sent to prison this week.
