End of an Era - Keir Roundabout challenge

[quote="steve_weegie"]Yep, still got the rs6 and nearly 3 years on it still gives me the giggles accelerating at full chat. The ever evolving remap helps too It should be Avus silver but living on a farm pretty much guarantees its various degrees of brown.

Only reason I was asking about the car & colour was the whole "regular speeding" thing the 2 officers were trying me on with.....maybe "mistook" 2 cars that look similar to general public....beware.
A very good friend of mine got caught on a Sunday around 8.45pm on the long straight heading to Thurso not far from Dounreay.....road deserted and he was "checking over" his RX8 prior to selling it,marked car hiding behind a trailer in a farmyard caught him on hand held device and he got the statutory 1 year ban and £450 fine.......couldn't get the dangerous driving dropped because of the speed.

John Spartan, you are fined five credits for repeated violations of the verbal morality statute.

The cameras suck though.

You can still overtake in those zones, but take a notepad and pen

[campbell]

The Av Speed function of modern trip computers could become v handy.

I also have an app for the phone, useful when in the tech-lite Elise

Which side of 109 was the speed Jim?

[Mike Scib]

Has anyone on here ever been caught by an average speed camera?

I have never heard of anyone being caught.

[mxvx]

I don't know anyone but it seems like plenty are getting caught...

126 in a 60
"Just tipping the redline in 5th" as he described the situation

That is disgraceful, he should have been hung, drawn, and quartered.

I'll tell my wife She's the one who drives the Audi regularly up here, but she swears she drives it like a granny though. The rear tyres tell a different story

Spoke to my dad last night and he told me he'd just been done on the A9 just north of House of Bruar (but heading south) on the mahousive dual carriageway between Dalnaspittal and Bruar .

If you drive the road you'll know there's a bit before it goes into single carriageway where it's blasted through the rock and there are some entrance ways up into the fields. Fully marked car completely hidden in one of those wee laybys. Came out after him and threw the book at him.

To be fair he was doing a scandelous 83mph.

On a section that im usually WELL north of 90 tuts.

Not sure if this bit is now covered by av speed cameras

Careful out there.

[GBOBM]

points and a £100 fine?

[Lazydonkey]

(massive delay)

Yes 3 points and 100

[campbell]

Experienced "the new A9" at the weekend. Felt a bit less frantic, but not noticeably slower.

Dialling in the Cruise at 65 or 75 as appropriate works well. And returned 52mpg

Got flashed when I overtook one do-gooder. Maybe he was just trying to warn me of the new cams.

Considerable absence of speed limit signs though. Apart from the new 50 ones for trucks. Interesting that. Conspiracy theories?

[campbell]

Oh dear. How on earth are they going to pay for them now?
