I had to run home at lunch for something I forgot and when I got home there greeting me in the mail..... a photo radar speeding ticket. Bah humbug to monday.

However, I am going to take this one to court, the photo gives NO clear image of my licence plate number. So let us see what a judge has to say to that.

Cheers and happy rest of monday to ya all.

If there was no clear image of your license plate, how did they come to send the ticket to you?

zactly my question. I guess they guy could read my plate, but his cam didn't get a clear picture of it. Must have been me going zooming so fast it was a blur ahahahaha. Well that will be my complaint to the judge....there is no clear evidence to me, that this is me.

Haha I dont mean to put a downer on it but yeah I often hate getting up om a monday after a nice relaxing weekend, especially when its cold and dark. Its not natural to get up when its still dark


I say that daily, I cry foul about having to get up in the cold and dark, gosh come summer I spring out of bed on a monday when the sun is up birds are chirping etc.

We have so many speed cameras where i live in Sussex that driving is a nightmare. They also put up mobile units in laybys. I got caught twice in 11 months after a clean license for 30 years...gutting...you have my sympathies...

this was my second photo radar in my 25 year driving life only 2 traffic violations ever. I am so sad. But likely worth the fight next year, my date for court is Feb 17.

I know what a judge will probably say: "Ms. Minks, is this your car?" "Ms.

Minks, where you in the area at ( ) time on ( ) date?" And you, being

Minks, will answer honestly and uh-oh, there ya go!!



Sorry, kiddo.

Ummm if I were wanting the ticket yeah. As to is it my car, I can't honestly tell if it is mine or not the pic is that bad. I drive a 2005 silver Toyota Corolla CE along with a gajillion others here in the city. The photo is black and white, it was night, it was snowing. I can't say it was me or not. No distinguising features as in plate holder, or decals. Hell you can't even read on the back that it was a corolla for that matter. The pic is that lousy. Was I there that date and time, honestly I can't recall exactly.

Isn't there stuff you can spray on your license plate so they can't read your number too?

I hate Mondays, when there is no heat in the classroom!

Let me tell you how much I hate mondays

Go ahead minksy but it aint gonna change my day. Im off (tomorrow too) its snowing, the aroma of peach gingerbread cake is drifting through the house. the house is clean, got the oil changed, I look and smell good, life is grand baby !

yeah but I would have to have the entire back of my car sprayed with it for the pic to look this cruddy.

that is my hopes to Valerie luck hehehe I have no clue what my chances are. However upon reading into this further, I see now where I can go and view the original photo at the police service ticket control unit, hmmmm now I see I may be in for it.

Yeah, I have heard that, LC. And the radar detector too, especially in Canada.

Way to stand up to the man, Minks!

My plate is not tampered with.....

Here are the small printed words on the bottom of my pic

"the images above may not clearly reflect the quality of the original Photograpy. You may view the original photograph of the offence at ********************** between 8:00 and 4:30PM. So they have the crappy photo quality covered. I think I will go take a look see mind you.

Take in a picture of you at the beach, and put in the same date!

They stopped citations by photo here for awhile, it is a court case I think. I always look upt to see if there is a camera at the light, not like I speed or anything..................

*taking the fifth*

"bad girls, bad girls............" :wah:

"Whatcha gonna do when they come for you"...





:D

:-6 Well, take it to court and win, Minks. It;s worth the try.

Only ticket I ever got was when I was 16, and I took it to court and won. Took all my friends with me to see it, and my mom too. The judge agreed with me, and called my mother up to talk with him after the case. She flirted with the j

udgie-poo. I was mortified! He told her to take my car keys away for 2 weeks anyway! And she did!
