smilinjack 0 Posted September 8, 2011 So keen was I to get out of that godforsaken hole known as Scotland that I forgot their favourite trick of speed traps in the last few miles before the border and civilisation. Sure enough I've been whacked for £60 & 3 points. Think that puts me on more points than Forest until around Christmas. Nobody's fault but mine as the song goes.........

Unlucky, especially at such a low speed. I once came over that crest at something in excess of , but fortunately my boss was in the car in front I had to do a trip to Glasgow every two weeks - sometimes I didn't see any plod on the M74, sometimes they were at 5 or 6 spots - it got to the point where I just wouldn't chance it any more, chuck the cruise control to 78 and listen to the radio - even at 5 am!It's a bit like a wannabe independence tax - you pay at the bridge for Wales and at the speed traps for Scotland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
