Need Some Advice!

It is over 40 years since I last rode pillion....1963 to be exact.....my boyfriend(now hubby) had a BSA 500 Gold Star. It was his pride and joy. I liked riding pillion, but I often wonder if I would have had the same arthritic problems with my hips and knees if I had not got petrified with cold on the back of the bike so many times. It WAS fun though!
 
Interesting that most of the GATSO cameras in Lancashire are not in operation due to the high running costs, will be totally different when the next generation digital ones replace them. The Drivers Survival handbook, the one the boys in blue wanted banning coz it was written by a former Yorks traffic cop, offers the information that if you have genuinely never been in trouble before, write to the traffic inspector stating your record & that had you been given the opportunity, you would have accepted a caution. This applies when being pulled & booked for a motoring offence too. As for the mobile guys, with their dinky orange lights- they are breaking the regs as the sign warning of camera operating has to be aprox 100 metres from the vehicle & how many have I seen with the sign hiding the operator-aprox 100%. Should be good for court but don't think it has been challenged yet. If so I am sure someone will let me know.
 
Thanks big al, will remember that for the future. The sign was in the back of the police car - as are all the signs I've seen before with the mobile units. I wasn't aware that they had to be further away, but I am now :D
 
Actually if it was a technical problem and you got it fixed show them your bill for repairs and explain what happenned you could get away wi it then
