Two issues: Firstly, speed limits only apply to mechanically propelled vehicles, not bicycles or pedestrians. Secondly, this technique does not work in every country, reportedly in Kazakhstan you can be prosecuted for speeding even if the signs are missing.

But how many speeding issues do we deal with in Kazakhstan on these boards? |

Would not have thought many would not be resolved with a $50 donation to the local cops, specifically the one that stopped the miscreant. |

A UK national could be prosecuted for bribery under the Bribery Act 2010 once they return to the UK (as the Bribery Act has extra-territorial jurisdiction) so this is not an option. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

...….A UK national could be prosecuted for bribery under the Bribery Act 2010 once they return to the UK (as the Bribery Act has extra-territorial jurisdiction) so this is not an option. Bribery your 'onour ? I simply paid an on the spot fine. Had that in various countries from India (200 rupee) to USA. At least in the latter I got a receipt This post has been edited by DancingDad: Sun, 14 Oct 2018 - 11:13 |

If you could show that the Chief Constable or his delegate who authorised the policy personally profited from speed awareness courses, you may well have a case. The staff who are just doing their jobs as instructed are unlikely to be liable.

If your car has cruise control you even have the wonderful technique of using it. …………. On crowded motorways, I find the speed limiter is a better option. Can still use right foot to match traffic speed (it is never constant) so can maintain stopping distance but engine will not drive you over the set speed should foot get a little heavy on the gas. I find this is rubbish keeps slowing you up when a slip road comes up with a lower speed limit even if your staying on the main road with the higher speed limit. Its very dangerous. |

I set the limiter to the speed I want. Lower speed limits do not affect it unless I want them to and set the limit accordingly. This post has been edited by DancingDad: Mon, 15 Oct 2018 - 07:40 |

FFS.
The craven nature of most posters here is disgusting and enough to put me off my Cheerios. Let me explain in terms almost simple enough even for rookies to grasp (given time, hints, encouragement and luck): The Government is simply a large-scale Protection Racket. A Mafia, but dressed up cunningly enough to fool the 98% of low intelligence. Everything else works to protect that. Idiot coppers (there's almost no other kind, except for the crooks) are recruited with an upper limit on intelligence as they are one of the main lines of enfarcement for the Mafia. Having police capable of independent thought - unheard of almost anywhere in the world, and this is why. If governments were benevolent, it would take a little of the sting away. But they aren't. I hope you have benefited. |

My car has a driver that sees road signs and adjusts to the limit. None of this new fangled tech wot don't work proper |

I’m sure he’d be happier if he actually tried to help people rather than complaining that others aren’t helping people as much as he thinks they should be. He does remind me of someone...... hey Tank do you have spray tan and a funny hair style?

If you always prevail in every legal action, isn't this evidence that the system works really well for you? I mean, the system works pretty well for me, but I won't claim I've won every action I've ever been involved in. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php
