Do you get tickets if on the phone in the UK? Got my 4th ticket in the post the other day for talking on the mobile while sitting blank still in traffic :headhurt:

 

so 8 points ticking... 6 for speeding (3 stops)...

 

neither of them in the Z :scare:

 

anyway... dont mind the speeding ones but sickened about the phone one!

 

A.

 

Not sure about the UK, but you get a ticket AND they take your license for a month, if they catch you on the phone in Greece.

BS if you ask me, you can smoke, eat, drink, make out, and it's ok. Make a call, and you deserve taking the bus for a month.

 

+1

plus fines in Greece are absolutely ridiculous!!! :rant:

A Gatso camera can only get you from behind. A Truvelo (or copper in a van) or SPECS average camera can have you from the front.

 

There's also the new gatso that can get you either way and any lane, and it doesn't flash to give you a clue either. Standard gatsos only get you if you're in the lane they're watching - never tested it tho :)

I'd do the same, but you do realise that your insurance won't go up at all even if you did have 3pts for an SP30? Well, if it does then I'd be moving companies very quickly, as most don't give a damn any more.
