2 fines!

Got 2 fines in my mailbox today! 5 minutes between the 2 measurements. Don't know how that is possible, I'm going 2 ask the photo's that are taken.

Just want 2 tell you my wonderfull experiences in my daily live :(

What kind of fines?
From AF or something?

What are fines?

Speeding ticket, well I assume it was for speeding?
that sucks man, pisses me of, I always get them for like driving 55 in a 50 zone, bam 25 Euro's...
My whole city is full with radar posts (?), the cops say it's for safety reasons, bullshit it's all about the €€€€

I've been lucky lately, haven't been caught in over a year, and I didn't pay the last one. Went to court and got it struck out :D

I've never been caught :angel:

Although, once I skided straight up to a Guard who was standing in the middle of the road on a blind bend (great place to be checking tax) - I don't know who got a bigger fright - but it must have been him as he waved me on :D

Happened to me to ones. They were just putting up the road block still without the lights on and were stopping some cars. Luckely I saw them on time cause normaly it's a road I were I put the pedal to the metal....

BTW: Never got a fine myself (keeping my fingers crossed:D )

I was caught once, and not even in my own country but up north in the Netherlands :( The police over there has too much time on their hands :)
But as i was a foreign citizen, i got away with a very low fine (only 40 EUR).

It was about speeding tickets... I found out i had driven to a petrol station. One time when going to the petrol station *flits* , filled my gasoline tank, and back again * flits*. 54 en 57 km/h.
I've already written 2 'protests' (got them from the tuftuf-site), can I get some nice pictures of my car : ). Than I've 3 pictures of my car in total...whooohoo :D.
And all those cops drive fast for themselfes, it are a bunch of weirdo freeks at the police...grrr.

Thanks for the info about the gas station, but I don't get my gas there
I used to go there because it was really cheap there, dont know
how the prices are now.
I get my gas at the Total Pont near the Honda Dealer :D :rolleyes:

Police made a picture of me today while I was driving about 60km/h in a 30km/h zone!!!! It will cost me about 60 Euros and I´ll get 3 points in Flensburg! :( When I really have got bad luck and I drove some km/h over 60km/h my license will be gone for a month!:mad: And I didn´t even want to drive fast....:rolleyes:

oh oh! Sounds bad mate, u should pray that it wasnt more than 60 :rolleyes: :bloated:

Not that good! I've heard it of a friend (1/2 german) of mine that they're very strict in germany in 30 km/h zones, that it's easy 2 lose your driving licence. Hope you've got good luck

Yeah it is easy to lose it I think (duuno how its handled in other countries). Especially in the city or in such 30 or 20 zones :(

IMO, the law should be more flexible on the speed limits. I mean like when you drive a night over the highway, no cars around you, then why shouldn't you be able to drive a little bit faster then the speed limit (180kmp or something:D ). They only seem to get this in Germany. I agree that in most cases their is a need for a speed limit.

The limits on the german 'Autobahn' are ok- there are enough zones where u can go as fast as u want :) . But on the other hand- in citys or on the normal streets there are several speed limits just to make money- the simply dont have any sense there and thats the thing I dont like!
If u know where those zones are- no problem but if u drive to a city uve never been before it could get really 'dangerous' [Especially for me- if I drive 20 kph too much ill loose my license and have to go back to the driving acad :(:( ]
The problem IMO here is that there are too many young people who drive like hell- for example a friend of mine who just got his license got a car (a old Renault 19) from his parents as a kind of present. One week later the car wasnt no more because this insane idiot drove with about 140(!!) in my hometown on a slippy street against a fence (what a luck for him that it was a fence). And thats the thing mostly happens here. Nearly everybody of my friends had already have on ore more accidents- im the only one whithout one:frog: . I think they should only people older than 21 allow to drive a car because these young disco fraks are killing themselfes and other like ppl eating bread!

About one or two seconds after the flash of the camera I had a look on my tach and I drove 55km/h without having stepped on the brakes! And they draw 3km/h off because of a possible uncorrectness of the camera. So I´d need to know how fast it slowed down by itself in these one or two seconds!?:rolleyes:

I would say something between 4 kph and 7 kph slowdown per second- but im not sure. Depends on the tires and everything else- difficult to calculate!

I got the letter for speeding today and......I´m not going to lose my license!! The picture showed that I drove 50km/h which can´t be because like I´ve already said I had a look on my tach about one or two seconds after the flash and I still drove 55km/h. The tolerance is 3km/h (which will be substracted) so that I still drove more than 50!:D But who cares anymore now.... I just have to pay 35 Euro and that´s it!http://www.plauder-smilies.de/beerchug.gif

nice to hear that, saves you alot of money and driving fun!
Seems your tachometer is kind of 'out of range' ? When we do a ph meeting in the future, i'll take a gps with me, you can measure it then :)

Or the camera was out of range!!??

...trust me it was the camera, not ur tach!

Friend of mine was also flashed ;) he could swear that he droves 60 but the camera showed that he droves 45!!- Right who cares- maybe the camera was knocked out buy the look of ur car :frog:

My father told me that the car brands do that on purpose so that you think you´re faster than you are in reality!

Ahhhhh.....yes:cool:

Lots of fixed speed cameras here, but they are all posted, and you get used to where they are. Been lucky so far :)

Hmmm I dont think they do it that ure believing ure faster ;) In some way that´s true! They don´t want to fool you with that! But they might do it because otherwise you would sometimes get a nice pic from the police (just like I did) because you drove with 51 km/h through a camera in a 50 km/h area while your tach was saying that you drove 50 km/h because of a possible uncorrectness of the tach!!! (I know I wrote it a bit difficult but maybe you get my point! They don´t want to fool us but help us in some way.) So they just adjust it a bit higher to solve this problem. DO YOU GET MY FU**ING POINT???:D ;)
