How Fast Must I Go?

This has come as something of a shock to your blogmeister. I was under the impression that the police with their speed cameras and stuff couldn't detect anything moving faster than 150mph. I had adjusted my driving habits accordingly. But, it seems, they can pick up cars doing 172 mph. I urgently need to know their top limit so that I can exceed it without fear of prosecution.

  1. Speed of light would work (I think).

  2. Does anybody know why 'road safety campaigners' think speed cameras don't work?
    I notice that failing to 'provide information' about who was driving the car (failing to admit your guilt so that the police can fine you) is to carry 6 points from now on whereas speeding still gets 3; maybe that gives us a clue.

  3. The speed of light has the added advantage that unless the police are driving in tachyon cars, they can never catch you.

  4. Funny. I was told by a friend who works in the police that they can't detect the colour orange and have trouble with Fiats. I hope he wasn't wrong, otherwise I've been driving an orange Fiat all these years for no reason.

  5. I always find a generous dollop of farmyard mud foils most cameras regardless of your driving habits.

    travelling at the speed of light plays havoc with the sat-nav, be warned. it begins to sound like Max Headroom; T-t-t-tu-tu-t-t-t-tur-t....
