well I got my first ever speeding ticket in the post this morning, not bad to say I've been riding and driving 44 years.
my crime is doing 79 mph on the Malton by pass a duel carriage way. It was a camera van so must have had a camera facing forward to get my number.
One mph less and I would have been ok. I was on a nearly empty road in the day it was dry, I wonder why they put the vans where its safe to go a bit over the speed limit and not where it is dangerous to speed, maybe because 99.9% wouldn't speed there.
they have caught over 16,000 in north yorkshire in the last 12 months raising about £1,000,000 in fines, lets hope it goes to improve road safety and not pay some official a vast wage for doing nothing.
