Tactical Driving

Basically, find a route with several speed cameras on it. The A505 between Baldock and Royston is good for it, and I’d imagine that the A1 around Elkesley is another gem.
While driving at normal speed, end up with some titbag trying to intimidate you into shifting and letting them past.
Pull in when you get a chance – but particularly at certain spots along the road.
Titbag then goes blasting past, attempting to intimidate/impress with their speed/acceleration/car.
And *flash*, off goes the speed camera.
It’s a joy, I tell you. A joy.
I feel similarly delighted when we get a hit on one of the oft-seen (but rarely when we’re out monitoring) regular speeders when we’re out with our speed gun in the local village and hamlets around here.
We clocked a white van driver doing 58mph in a 30mph limit yesterday (narrow country lane, houses on each side, primary school 1/4 mile down the road). That results in an automatic sit-down home visit from a copper and straight to the top of Traffic Plod’s Hit list. Not that that exists of course, oh no.
I am in *awe*. Nice one!
It really can be a joy – particularly if it’s some particularly cretinous twunt who’s been flashing his lights etc. and tailgating hard, only to pull away and get done.
GENIUS.
so your the c*** who sits in the outside lane holding others up.
See the bit that says “at normal speed”? I’m the cunt (as you put it) who’s overtaking others legally, and gets some cock-end in a BMW or Audi feeling all self-important behind him.
And from your response, I’d suggest that *you*, Tom, are the cunt who got flashed by the camera.
