70mph on the A19

[Sandboy]

You should take this all the way to the court of human rights imo.

Can't, we took back control of our laws iirc, they'll know they can get away with persecuting honest tax paying working blokes now

To be fair there’s a lot of accidents on the A19.

Yeah but that's higher up, once you get below Yarm it's a lot better. Struggle to get above 70 on the higher bits anyway.

Got a ticket for travelling at 70mph on the A19 (A168) around the Thirsk area in a Peugeot Boxer van because it’s a goods vehicle.

What’s all that about? (Ps I know the 60mph craic etc etc but haway man, f***ing pathetic!

They targeting white van man now?

Im at a lose myself tbh

I seem to remember hearing rumours that cameras will soon check license plates (for vehicle type) and speeds in real time - but I didn't think it was actually going to happen!

Ok got the nobs out of the way.

Basically stayed on the A19, stuck at 70mph, without turning off, which becomes the A168 heading to the A1!! Been doing that journey for years. Anything I can do re this because they must have targeted every man, van and his dog with this ffs

Not sure if it would work but you could try the following

Driving no faster than the speed limit

This will be a mobile camera.

As usual everyone's a saint on here. I feel your pain mate should be allowed a bit of leeway on good bits of dual carriageway like the bit you were on. Never see a camera van in a town when the kids are going to and from school etc where they actually might do something to make the roads safer.

I’ve been caught three times in the last two years.

But at no point have I whinged on here about it and said how unfair it is.

 

[General Zod]

I was in Morrisons last week and there was a sign up saying thieves will be prosecuted. I only nicked a bottle of vodka, jobsworth security guard stopped me and got me prosecuted by the police. Fuckin arsehole.

Sounds like he was just enforcing the spirit of the law

 

[Mackem DishMonkey]

So you know the speed limit is 60 and complain because you were caught doing 70?

But they’re

This hasn't gone how the op intended has it

Nope

 

[humbug]

they've been down that stretch a lot over the last few months.

 

[hefty em]

Knobs, aye we’re making a joke but you were 10mph over the speed limit.

60mph on all motorways and dual carriageways.

Not sure what your point is.

Motorways are 70 like but.

 

[Goat Eyes]

They’re at Whetherby services a lot these days too, on the bridge.

Been caught before and taken it tbf. My point is, in 30 years of driving I’ve never been targeted by a camera re the type of vehicle I’m in. If this is the case now, good luck to every Transit travelling south!

I see it loads.

Is it a panel van, crew van, tourer?

Jibes aside, I'd be annoyed as well. If nowt else it's a wake up call and you've probably done a few a favour by being an early victim and posting about it on here

Aye but... He wasn’t on a motorway.

 

[Mackem DishMonkey]

70 on motorways init? Not that it matters in this case like, he was on dual carriageways.

So.....white van man should vigorously stick to 60mph all the way along the A19?

Ps you all know what i’m Getting at, no need to be dickheads

Check out what classification of vehicle it is e.g. M1 or N1.

This determines the speed limit.

 

[muggboots]

Not in goods vehicles. The OP seven says he knows the limit was 60 in his opening post

I believe car based vans can do 70. It's his own fault, if he hadn't been on the phone he'd have noticed.
