Get yer wallet ready.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

It seems police forces are tightening margins across the board. A couple of people I know have been given penalties for doing 55 in a 50 limit, which is well within the margin that ACPO recommends; one was done for 74 in a 70. (they were all offered awareness courses, but even so).

2006 SV650S - killed by a patch of diesel and a kerb in Feb 2019
2017 SV650 AL7 - naked and unashamed

certainly wont hit the wealthy.
they always have get out clause some where.
I dont mind that one bit doing 50 in a 30mp is done deliberate.
30/34 isn't its so easy to go over without realising but those deliberate ones no excuse
If I wanted to make a life-long career out of
working with the mentally retarded I would
have opened a Harley Davidson Dealership
