    1. if you drive at the speed limit you won’t have a problem

    2. the speed camera will be well signposted (car on the left so this is the UK) while it’s not a legal requirement that they have signposts I’ve never come across a fixed camera that isn’t

    3. If you don’t break the law you won’t have a problem

    4. the camera is painted bright yellow for visibility

    5. once again for the those at the back who are hard of thinking: don’t speed and you won’t get fined

    6. usually for first time offences if you’re just a bit over the limit you’ll get the option of a speed awareness course.

    7. You’ve probably come to expect odd numbered points to tell you to not break the law by now, so I’ll mix it up: if you get caught breaking the law and get a slap on the wrist, don’t keep breaking the law.


    I do agree though that the fining structure should be reformed, it should be a percentage of income with some provision in place so the super rich can’t get out of paying their appropriate share too.

      this MF is a bootlicker if I’ve ever seen one.

      there are a million ways a cop would fuck you over, primarily being “not white” or looking at them wrong, NOTHING to do with law.

      I’ll give the UK a break as they’re not nearly as bad as the US, but cops are not your friends and that sentence quotes is a joke.

      “if you got nothing to hide, let me search your car”

      fuck no.
