STiG Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've lived in Alvaston for over 4 years now and I regularly Fly up and down Raynesway ignoring the camera in the centre of the road. All the time I have been here its never had film or been switched on. Last week I Forgot to take my wallet to work so by the time I got home I was running on the vapours of the vapours and by the time I got home I had serious doubts I would make it to a fuel station. My mate vlunteered to follow me up to the A52 Shell garage and with me limping along at an embarrassing 40mph I got there and all was well.We split with him going home and me shooting off to KFC and when I got back to his he told me that the camera had flashed him. Not sure if he was imagining things or if paranoia was kicking in I explained that I never went through at less than 60 and that its never had film in it... Telling him not to worry and it'll be fine.Fine was the right word considering a fixed penalty notice dropped through his door this morning...

Steve Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I remember it having film in it when it was first installed as i saw a taxi get flashed on night. But that must be getting on for ten years ago now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STiG Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Thanks for that Stig I use Raynesway a lot (as many do, with the by-pass now done)commiserations to your friend, console him by telling him he has saved many of us fellow Scooby owners an unjust fine !!!No probs mate. Somebody ought to tell Derbyshire Police that now they have changed the lay-out of that section of the road, the accident black spot doesn't exist anymore and therefore the camera is now not in a lawful place. ( It was only for the turn out onto Raynesway from the Test centre road, Which has been removed)And Scatty no it wasn't Sean lol Him and his gay RX-8 are in Preston or something can't remember now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
