If it's a % of your wage, I'll be in luck. Fcuking court will owe me money the way it's going just now.

Little tip Danny;
The more wheelies you pull the less chance a camera getting your plate

Actually, I think the opposite. If you're really serious about road safety, then forget the fines and double the points. It's not just about safety these days anyway. 100mph these days is safer in a car than 70 was 30 years ago, it's about traffic management. People ignoring speed restrictions designed to control traffic flow causes bottlenecks.
Why the hell would the govt make better roads when they can hand out fines instead? Wankers.
Presume the missile is for Whisky Nine Nine? You want to watch the backblast on that.
Anyway, if you get caught by a camera, it just means you weren't going fast enough. Take a leaf out of Ghost Rider's book.

Be a thing of the past soon anyway. I can't see fully automated vehicles anywhere on the horizon but I do see driver assist becoming very strong over the next few years

I got pulled in Nuremberg Germany 3 years ago, van was proper loaded but within limit, they pulled me out of the services parking lot after having breakfast, had to follow them off the motorway to a weigh bridge, I couldn't possibly keep up they were doing well over 100-110mph while me in the van trying to keep up, they were flashing everyone off to give me way lol it was hilarious

I got flashed on the overhead gantry at Wakefield on the smart motorway. Had 78 on the clock usually stick with the lorries but non in front of me. Got carried away.
But that was late June, no ticket as yet.
But if the fine is income based then I have been on zero income this financial year and the tax man owes me. So they should be paying me to go over the limit.
I work 1 year in hand.

I haven't been that way in quite a while - or indeed driven in the UK.
If it is what I think it is and nothing has changed, then you're in luck. Overhead gantries are matrix cameras and they don't flash. Whatever flashed wasn't a speed camera,.
