I’m an arse
I’ve been caught speeding again. This time 57 in a 50 zone.
My fault it was after night shift.
I’ve now set up my sat nav at all times
It reminds me when I’m going too fast
Little else to report.
The pace of the last few days has changed to a welcomed and silent coffee at the kitchen table.
Albert is happy we are home
By the look of the white duvet cover on my bed he looks as though he’s been making snow angels
Night shift tonight
Hahahahahaha, Albert snow angels in black fur!
ReplyDeleteYes John you are indeed an arse. You know, being a nurse - better than most - that speeding costs lives. Write it large on a card and tape it to your dashboard. And set your sat nav. Next thing you will be losing your licence - then where will you be? End of lecture (PS still love you)
ReplyDeleteWhat type of an arse, Weave? Be specific.
DeleteNot a total arse, John. Save that for the ones who knowingly speed then kick up a fuss when they get caught. I'm with Pat - stick a big notice on your dashboard, and give yourself a slap if you exceed the limit! xx
ReplyDeleteOh no! Another speeding fine. Good idea: Sat Nav should be helpful to keep you driving within the speed limit.
ReplyDeleteOh darn.
ReplyDeleteI have been caught speeding twice. Once was let go with a warning. The second one I went to 'driving school' online and had to pay a fine. Ugh.
XOXO
Well, shucks! It's a bother to be caught, but you need to be mindful as you drive, of course. "Nuf said!
ReplyDeleteEnjoAlbert it too funny!
Hugs!
Twit!
ReplyDeleteEw, Albert’s ash angels maybe? Hope the fine isn’t too high. SG has been caught twice that way. I haven’t. Because I never speed. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
ReplyDeleteDon't they have an allowance for a certain number of KPH/MPH over? Here in the US, depending on the jurisdiction, somewhere from 5 to 10 MPH over the posted limit does not result in a ticket. I suppose to allow for errors in speedometers or silly fast old men like thee and me.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Is a ticket expensive in Wales? In the states they cost a fortune and raise your car insurance premiums too. Fortunately my last ticket was in 1985! (Of course it helps that I've barely been behind the wheel in the last 22 years.)
ReplyDeleteHere the speed cameras were removed because---ah?--it was decided the cameras, operated by an out of state private contractor were intrusive and a money making ploy for that contractor and local politicians, I think. And even then they gave a 10 mph leeway.
ReplyDeleteHoly moley hairy arse -Last night my friend phoned-Apparently driving along he caught the kerb and the road was then blocked-police arrived and had his license taken - Qualified lorry driver too x
ReplyDeletePoints or just a fine?
ReplyDeleteFine I suspect
Delete"The minimum penalty for speeding in Wales is £100 fine and three points added to your licence. Receiving 12 or more points within three years may disqualify you from driving." Take care please. Losing your licence would not be good
DeleteYes I know I’ve had 6 points a few years ago
DeleteDriving tired is not good.. you will be glad to see the back of night shifts.
ReplyDeleteSlow Down Stirling Moss! You don't work to pay fines!
ReplyDeleteSorry you were caught ... just be safe.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered why they call you Fangio.
ReplyDeleteOh bother! You will be so careful for the next while, and that increases the tension. Set the SATNAV... We had one in the rental the last time we were over your way and I was very glad we did. We were staying near friends in Ormskirk in Lancashire and I swear the speed limit changed every fifty yards! AND a whole lot of the signs were obscured my overgrown foliage !
ReplyDeleteOn the A55 - a road that can catch a driver out (obviously!). 7 mph over the speed limit. Do you not qualify for a speed awareness course instead of losing points?
ReplyDeleteSchool dinner frogspawn -Yukky poo x
ReplyDeleteIs there more than one type Tom?
ReplyDeleteI got one in July....caught doing 65km in a 50 zone. $80.00 later... the irony of that was the road I was supposedly speeding on had been plagued by road works for 3 months!!!! Typical.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
If we had as many cameras as you do there, I'd be caught spending all the time.
