The postie has just dropped off my NIP for doing 37 in a 30 zone. I
knew on
Thursday that I had been caught.

Went on one a couple of weeks ago. 23 of us hardened criminals, mostly
middle aged, fair few OAP's.

First thing is - unless you toe the line & nod in all the right places -
you fail the course. Second thing, they won't discuss the rights &
wrongs of cameras or limits - it's a taboo subject. Think of 1984.

You get tea & biscuits, 2 fag breaks, a free pen & copy of the highway
code - and patronised for 4 hours.

Basically a load of old ********.



That's exactly how I found it, about 4 years ago (35mph in a 30 limit) -
cost £60 then. Just best to grin and bear it.
