Yes it is me :twisted: the very nice man in the van was hidden behind the garage that I stopped at for petrol on the Embankment and I've still got the receipt for the petrol timed at 14-12. I must have caned out of the garage to get to 56mph :lol: :lol: :lol:

But if it all goes tits up & we loose then I will have to pay loads of money! :?

Mate, they can't get an accurate reading unless the laser thingy is on a flat surface such as a number plate, if on a angled surface eg the front of your bike the reading will be totally inaccurate. Even more so if there is any movement in the camera, less than 1mm movement would fcuk it up even more.

By all means pay for it if you wish to have higher premiums for a few years and have points on the lisence, but if you get the proper advice it'll never stick.
