So I’ve been caught speeding again, the
third time in 13 years. Previously it was 36mph in a 30 zone and 57mph in a 50,
so with 35mph in a 30 I’ve set a new personal best. That’s the lowest speed
they will prosecute in Suffolk, where I got photographed driving the Ford B-MAX.
Here is my excuse, and yes, I know it’s a well-worn argument but it doesn’t stop
it being right. It was 4.30pm on a Saturday afternoon going through an A-road village.
I came round a wide corner and the camera van was sat in the lay-by. He was the
only vehicle or pedestrian to be seen. And yet just last week on the A14, there
was a boy-racer and three mates in a modified Corsa driving like a complete
tool. He was speeding, weaving aggressively around the lanes, undertaking and
generally causing everyone else to back off the throttle just in case. Did he
get stopped? Will he be on the same Speed Awareness Course as me? I very much
doubt it.
